Cruel are the Ayats
that show us the way to be
And still take my love away from me
Hypocrites are the maulvis who think they know what God wants or who He is

Cruel are the gospels that claim to set
All of us free
If we only follow their version of religion
Hypocrites are the white-robed priests
With dark stained hearts

Pardon my boldness
I'm just curious
And have always been
My moral compass stands intact
Better than most preachers
I have met

Now, Religion has always been
a shaky ground for me
With their ever present contradictions
And the fight over superiority
Are you the only one who has a copyright over Him?

I have found
And I have realised
Religion is a wittering fool's
Favorite jewel
You can fight over whose path
is more right

But still there are people
Who cry themselves to sleep
Children who have got nothing
To eat
You go on,
It is time to preach

But how can you claim
To love God
When you have never fed
A starving child
When never has someone's tears
Made you burn

So you can go, Tell your God
How you loved him With all of you
I'll go tell mine:
Though my faith faltered
But I never stopped serving
His people
Ayat= verse from Quran

I am going to be honest. I was never a religious person. But someone just induced these doubts and fear for hell.. that I should love Him and follow the rules given in the holy book. But then I realised what kind of love it is, if you do it out of fear of hell or for trying to get heaven. Is not that greed? something that we should condemn? I'm sorry but I don't get the point of religions. I don't. And I believe as long as I do what serves humanity, He will be okay with me.

Why say Greek Gods are fake
and Buddha artificial.
The only thing that is synthetic
is the church on its own.
Using money to help the snobs
than the mother's all alone.
Everybody has different,
interpretations about how this god should be worshipped.
It's still a god, with different names, with different ways of life.
Why hate?
What if one creator is the answer,
but different forms he made.
To reach out to the diversity of the humans that remain, but what if it's not one place after death, or a harsh judgement day.
Just all the afterlives living in harmony,
like the we try to live today.
But instead like Sunis and Shiites same beliefs, but different views,
we argue till the death of thousands,
till the deaths of me and you.
Everyone is looking for one thing: happiness after death.
Much like the perfection you search for before you take your last breath.
The body you always wanted, the grades you try to reach, the soul mate you would **** for just to finally meet.
One goal for all, but many different ways to reach.
So if true in life, like the religions that are taught, might you just take a moment and give a second thought.
Nothing may exist, or something might be true, but in the end it just depends on you.
Stick within the boundaries of your mind, or go ahead and charge through.
It's better to be open in thought of all of this, instead of dying and not getting your last wish.

Many religions and many
more ways to estimate.
At times followed correctly
at times misinterpret.

How a common man
will know, how he'll judge?
Opinions are biased,
opinions made due to grudge.


Heaps of literature and
heaps of religious text.
Men have little patience,
it leaves them perplexed.

But their is simple way
to come to conclusion.
Easiest way for any ordinary
man to take decision.


Religion is all about
divinity and divine power.
It is about concept of
God and the final hour.

Definitions may be clear cut
or ambiguous and flawed.
For me a Religion is as
good as its definition of God.

Concept of God in Islam(surah Ikhlas) , clear-cut.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
And there is none like unto Him.
