Behind Enemy Lines

I must really have lost it to be posting another one of my poems but i got such nice replies last time, I thought i'd take another chance....:-[ :zip: :confused: :sister: although i feel like this one is half finished- like it's missing parts of the body or something....:omg: *oh well, here goes nothing*.....


Behind Enemy Lines

They say the enemy is Islam
It preaches violence and hatred
It teaches chauvinism,
It denounces freedom,
They say the enemy is Islam!

Will they go behind enemy lines
And see what that enemy says?
And learn how precious Islam is
How just; how right?
How peaceful; how perfect?

For surely in the Quran,
Allah doth command the Muslims
To honor their promises….
Is that the enemy?!

To be gentle and kind with their parents
To respect them and pray for them
When they reach old age….
Is that the enemy?

Does not Allah say that
“Verily, man is in loss,
except for those who have faith and do good,
and join together the mutual teaching of
truth and patience?”
Is that the enemy?!

Is it not written in the Holy Book,
That a servant of Allah is the one
Who walks modestly, and when called upon
By the ignorant, addresses them with “peace?”
Is that the enemy?!

Is it not written that a Muslim shall not speak ill of a brother
Nor a sister; shall not back bite?
Are they not commanded to help the needy,
Be kind with orphans, help their neighbors,
To deal with justice?
Is that the enemy?!


Will they not go behind enemy lines?
And find that the enemy is not an enemy
But the perfect solution to all?

^ Jazak Allah! I finally realized what was missing... i didn't address women in that poem!!

Did not the prophet (Salla Allahoo alyhee wa salam) say
That heaven lies beneath the feet of the mothers?
Did not Allah say that whoever does a good deed,
whether a woman or a man, he/she will be rewarded?
Is that the enemy?!

^ maybe i should revise that part a bit :confused:
