The Straight Path Poem

[Naheezah]

THE STRAIGHT PATH POEM


When I’m considered a stranger for what I believe or deemed a terrorist for what you perceive, I pity your blindness and my head only rises.

I give thanks to The Gracious for blessing me with the straight path.

When a society that accepts the marriage of one man to another rejects me, I grow more steadfast and my head only rises.

I give thanks to The All-Mighty for blessing me with the straight path.

When men who take wives that have shared themselves with dozens before them mock me, I am comforted by the purity of mine and my head only rises.

I give thanks to the All-Seeing for blessing me with the straight path.

When I’m asked if I’m with you or against you, my beard eloquently responds and my head only rises.

I give thanks to the All-Hearing for blessing me with the straight path.

When the world is flipped upside down and you consider me evil, I see you for what you are and my head only rises.

I give thanks to The Most-High for blessing me with the straight path.

When the angel of death eventually comes, there is no escape from what we’ve done.

I give thanks to The Merciful for blessing me with the straight path.

MASHALLAH !

God ordains the believers to shun suspicion,
For in some cases it is a sin in His opinion.
“Spy not each other,” ordains God further,
“Will you eat the flesh of your dead brother?”
“Nay, you shall abhor it!” The Merciful dictates,
“Fear God! He is oft-returning,” He relates.

JAZAKALLAH KHAIR !
