a lil something...

salamz everyone! just thought id share this with everyone..

UNDERSTAND ME
You do not understand me and dare not try.
I confuse you a bit but you don't know why.

I seem so happy..."How can that be?"
my image is shown as oppressed on t.v.

All you've been taught was so real to you;
I am proving different..."Now what to do?"

Do you keep believing in that image you "knew"
or try to understand this from my view?

I am sane, I have a mind and please don't call me weak.
I live and love, laugh and cry and am allowed to speak.

I think for myself, reason and rhyme and am far from being oppressed
But you're so quick to think that of me simply by how I'm dressed.

This is my choice, my own free will that's why I dress as you see;
so before you judge by what you "knew", come and talk to me.



The Place I Love to be

There is a place in which I love to be
When I cannot reach
my mother's comforting arms...
There is a place in which I love to be
When I think of the sparkle in a child's eye as he prays with his father...
There is a place in which I love to be when the stars are
bright, my heart is light and my mind is free...
When I'm blessed with success.
When I'm warm in my bed
When smiles are sincere and my mind is clear
There is a place in which I love to be...
There is a place in which I love to be when I'm discouraged
by defeat,insulted by those that I love, and disappointed by my
irresponsibility. Then, there is a place in which I need to be...
When commitments are weakened,
Diamonds stop shining and strengths are forgotten ...
There is one place in which I love to be...
Down on my knees, with tears in my heart, my head to the floor. In submission to God is the only place in which I love to be

"Do you know me?"


Author

Zahra at Islam: Migration to Reality

I may be your neighbor, behind you in the checkout lane, passing you on the highway or sitting next to you at the Movie Theater. You might see me and think of me as being an Arab, an Indian, or something you have not imagined before. That is ok for we are all one in the same, not one greater then the other. Who am I you may ask, I am a Muslim Woman. You do not know me to recognize me when you see me. You only see my veil, which blinds you as to who I am. It is time to look pass the veil and see that we are not the aliens you think we are. We are healers, educators, leaders, care givers as well as wives, mothers, daughters, sisters and aunts. We suffer, bleed, cry, have remorse, mourn, complain, celebrate, rejoice, love, laugh, have dreams of hope and peace.

Do you know me? I may be in the next aisle, in the seat next to you on the plane, in line at the DMV or waiting in the doctor’s office. You might see me and think of me as being a terrorist, extremist, or non-believer of God. That is ok, for it is my duty as a Muslim to spread the truth about what is being misconstrued. You are given incorrect information, which misguides you as to who I am. It is time to recognize the truth. We submit ourselves to One Creator and One alone, and that Muhammad is the Prophet of God. Peace and blessing be upon him and his family. We pray five times a day as to keep our hearts, minds and souls full of God’s grace and remembrance. We fast during the month of Ramadhan as to cleanse ourselves. We journey to Makkah, to fulfill our need to return to our roots. We give tithe, as to help the less fortunate. We pray for hope and peace.

Do you know who I am? I hope that when you see me a Muslim woman you will remember this story and know who I am. Peace and blessing be upon you.

"Funny Isn't it?"


"Funny how $10 looks so big when we take it to the masjid and so small when we take it to the store."

"Funny how long an hour serving God looks and how short 60 minutes are when spent playing golf, fishing or playing soccer."

"Funny how laborious it is to read a surah in the Quran and how easy it is to read 2 to 300 pages of a best selling novel."

"Funny how we believe what the newspapers say but question what the Quran says."

"Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray and don't have any difficulty thinking of things to talk to a friend."

"Funny how we need a long time and have difficulties to memorize one or two verses of Al-Quran, but a very short time and easy to memorize song."

"Funny how we can face the TV for hours yet we cannot face the Qibla for 10 minutes."

"Funny isn't it...?"

"If Tomorrow Never Comes"


By Anonymous

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two To stop and say, "I love you," instead of assuming, you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well, I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right.

There will always be another day to say our "I love yours", And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's?" But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.. So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day.

That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss. And you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear.

Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear. Take time to say "I'm sorry," "please forgive me," "thank you" or "it's okay". And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
