"muhammed" poems
Close your eyes and open your heart, Can you hear the silence! Can you see the darkness! Be grateful for the little things you have in life, For all our lives are full of bounties and blessings.. Mingling with other people from different backgrounds and Ethnicities inspired me and made me wondering in the deepest meanings of life Allah created us for one aim which is to worship Him alone.. He empowered us with all the tools that would help us to achieve life's goal The holy Quran will heal your heart and the sunnah of our prophet Muhammed PBUH will enlighten your path.. A letter to one's self.. Thank you is the least word I can utter to express my gratitude for you my lord You created me out of love before I was nothing, You gave me everything.. From the beauty to the health and wealth The eyes, ears, hands, legs and heart :") A muslim family that helped me through, The Arabic language that allows me to enjoy Quran,   You made me walk through your path to discover your light Thank you for the awakening moments you granted me Thank you for the air I breath the beauty I see and the food I eat Thank you for the birds and trees For the water and leaves For the seasons and planets For the sun and the moon The clouds and the sky If I ever start I can never count all the blessings you granted me It is really important to step back on your life and start thinking and Talking to your self To give your soul the boost to continue this life To empower your faith and renew your tawakul (reliance on Allah) I felt the need to cry when I attended today's speech by one of the sisters She spoke about how insan needs to always rely on his Lord Yeah sometimes you really get confused in the realms of life and you forget all the bounties that you've been blessed with Shaytan comes to you  and start whispering that you always need more.. It's okay to always need more because Allah loves when his servants pray to him and asks from him, But this doesn't mean to forget all what you've been blessed with It's really important to specify an hour each morning to reflect upon your life and to thank Allah for every single moment you have Allah has created you out of love, You are a unique version of your self Nobody is completely like you You are you and you should love yourself because Allah wants you to be like that.. All praise is to Allah!

Things We Take For Granted..

Why Do They Act That Way?
I entered my poem "last night I dreamed" in the Tallenge poetry competition for May 2014, which it won, it's now in the annual competition so I'd really appreciate your support by voting for it at - bit.ly/1pJ0N3z You can find the poem down the line in my list of poems, but I'll paste it here again so you can check it out to see if it's worth a vote. Last Night I dreamt Of the Hagia Sophia. Looking across mighty Bosphorous. In Istanbul, in Byzantium, in Constantinople. A prize of ages........... In all her many's real and imagined glory. Man's desire, God's gift. Stone's testament To my species' faith, In eternity. Though this Hagia, My Sophia, was one of my dreams In a dream-city/state. In a dream Macedon/Thrace, Modern and ancient Asian/Europe, European-Asia, Turk and Greek Jew and Russian Balkan stars fall upon her' Coloured light's and bright vid-screens. Amid stone and earth Glass and concrete, Granite and amythst Huge, jewel-covered, ancient beyond measure.... Not just Constantine's church, though mighty church it was.. Or Mehmet's prize; though great Mosque it became Nor Theodosius's rock Though he still fights for her Somewhere in the past. And no dry museum either, Though museum she is.......... In reality. Just an ancient place, Euxine harbour Cross-road of man and water, Land and Gods Magic and reality Chozen by Hellas Built and owned by Christ's children Subjects of St. Paul's Holy empire. Orthodox and sacred To Greek and Rus. No Latin hymns We're sung in her walls. Then won by Turk In wars fierce and long - So now Muhammed's shrine Ottoman and Pasha Jewel of a new kingdom Built upon built Myriad upon myriad Pagan, Muslim, Jew, and Christian And the Gods of Hellas who dwell there still Watch and wonder at it all But in my dream She was made - in the shape of a grassy mound Many faceted, growing still Amid structures, attached to her spans and arches Ancient wonder Modern glory Flowing and rising Worshipped by all who dwelt near her. Grassed covered Monument strewn Stretching up to the dark - Starry Sky Arches Domes Butress' Spires Crosses Cresents Heart's desire White rocks paved And eternal grasses Dewed by Hellene Gods Whose light it saved Last night I dreamed Of the Hagia Sophia.......

For all of them, greatness ekes not on goodness, but on mysterious and spectacular humility, semitism cradled from epileptic Tehra, Hebrewism from Abrahamic despair, Jewry from shrewd Israel of Isaac, Christianity from lame footed jesus, Islam from an epileptic desert oat;Muhammed, Africanism from warped emotionalism, Hinduism a mere avatar of godly imaginations all these calls for a pious dejavu

PIOUS DEJAVU
Kerbala I weep bitterly still, Thousands in numbers for a meagre few to **** For the injustice meted out 1400 years ago, To enforce allegiance  and satisfy their ego Kerbala I weep bitterly still, For the innocent who had done no ill, Where Hussain stood against injustice and oppression, Against undue aggression. Kerbala I weep bitterly still, Tears of blood my eyes fill, Where Hussain's seventy-two kinsmen were slain on the scorching sand, Hardships and cruelties they were ready to withstand, Denied food and water for three days, Ready to die in Allah's ways. Kerbala I weep bitterly still, My tears continue to spill, When I listen to the orator, How Hussain's six month son was denied water, Instead pierced to death with a three headed arrow, Which a father from the neck had to withdraw. How Hussain's brother's hands were severed and he was killed because he took water from R.Euphrates in a *** for his niece, A brother who emanated love and peace. How they battered to death  Hussain's eighteen year old son, an exact resemblance of Prophet Muhammed(SAW), Prime in his youth,a great sorrow Kerbala I weep bitterly still, My tears continue to spill How Hussain was slain, On the scorching sand, Without food and water, With 999 wounds,blood splurting out of all parts of his body, to be slaughtered, Forty thousand army raining arrows at him from all directions, Blood blurring his vision He, Hussain alone, unable to move a limb, A target to satisfy their whims Some threw stones, some pierced spears and others wounded him with axes, The leader kicked Hussain and tried to slaughter his neck with a blunt knife, Not that way, you cannot take my life, And Hussain said,"Let me prostrate before Allah and pray for forgiveness for my people, Wounded and feeble, With an inner strength Hussain heaved himself and gave the last Sajda(prostation), The enemy severed off his head from his body without hesitation. Hussain kept his promise to his grandfather to sacrifice his head for Islam, That day the skies, earth and nature wept bitterly for Hussain(Alai Salam). Who would not? The tragedy of Kerbala would evoke deep grief even in the heedless.

5 million angels of God with a shortage of love 10 million small feet without a heaven to call their own orphans of a lost war, children of hunger and distress the loving nest in their parents arms got blown to shreds. So they suffer, innocent souls that have no were to hide in tears of pain, in between heaven and hell Muhammed walks in a drone strike a child’s future in the last thing on anyone’s minds Every day war mongers cultivate the future enemies of this land. Suffer the little children, the infants, the school kids, the toddlers In the hot desert sand burn and riddled with bullets lie their rotting corpses their small eyes staring blank into infinity and no one dares to close them sleeping on ravaged streets barely out of their strollers. Wish I could send my useless hands to heal their wounds the American invasion of Iraq became their tombs. Suffer the little children in sulfur victims of greed, lust for power and oil pray to Allah every night to care for them children without a future, victims of a war they didn’t deserve. And so they suffer.

Every drop parts and rains Along with the broken promise of the sun. The thunder threatens the world of sleep Where children dream with their mother's fancy. The lamp's dead cotton sits lost in thoughts Only to peep again with blazing eyes. You, my love, also forgot me . Who rules the kingdom of destruction ? When the light withdrew from the lamp's lips, I sat and counted promises of the day. Who keeps his words precious for ever..? Where is the promise not brutally killed...?              MUHAMMED RAFEEK E Originally published by Better than Starbucks

Where is the Promise not Brutally Killed?
The Universe is compelled to Upgrade! Stars, Nebula, even Black Holes must be Improved! **Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Sis Boom Bah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Sis Boom Bah!** It is risen! It is risen! It is Risen! Most marvelous, miraculous divine device! Forget turning water into wine... Lame! Forget Muhammed moving that mountain... Lame! Let Lazarus flop back into the tomb... Lame! This is Miracle as it was meant to be! Oh grand glorious God of International Capitalism! The triumphant product of American Genius manifest in the work of many skilled primates' foreign hands. Truly an event of Startling Global Significance! And you have stood like a lemming on methamphetamine many long hours in the rain to be possessed by its majesty and now it is yours, yours, yours, yours alone for only $649 dollars plus a few hundred monthly. Let all the bells be rung! Let high Hosannas be sung! A phone so smart it was beta tested on the lobotomized and made them look like slightly scarred Steven Hawings! The apps that are available will explode your existence! They can provide *********** wipe your *** ******* you. Yes! Imagine Siri willingly kneeling between your legs! Oh, but what to do about that first important call or text? It must be equal in loftiness to this Digital Masterpiece! Perhaps command it to call Obama and implore him to gain weight, or Alexander Putin to tell him a Polar Bear needs wrestling, or perhaps God to tell him he is no longer necessary. No, all of these are far too paltry for that first message. Instead, tell Siri to search for the nearest Lunatic Asylum and book as many cells as possible for self-obsessed consumers. That way they can text and call in medically supervised bliss, undisturbed until Apple provides them with the next Transfiguration. It will probably only be six months from now... Suckers.

A lone Muslim weeps alone Mind entirely westernized Heart in the Middle East Shown by his father how to love With faith of course And to find peace with himself A country built on blind pride Unfortunately yields ideal life Four planes taking ****** detours Captained by servants of Allah To die as martyrs in His name The lone Muslim sits in a classroom Silence during the 12th anniversary of 9/11 A peaceful religion forever stained The teacher prints out pictures of Muhammed And hands one to the Muslim with a smile Almost asking for retaliation Every night he prays to the clouds Allahu-Akbar Allahu-Akbar Identical with cries of the Taliban Irony fills the air As pictures of Muhammed come to mind A lone Muslim surrounded by smiling bigots Who can't help but ask if Jihad exists Or question if Ramadan works Judge his every move And deny their prejudice A lone Muslim weeps alone As he remembers the day he lost his heart The day conformity was shunned A man rejected from love due to religion Turns into a terrorist And begins to walk with a suicide vest Peace and love for everything Now replaced by guns and hate Political parties staining beautiful thoughts Preaching American hate and Muslim supremacy Things Allah would be proud of My religion will always be stained "Allah forbids you not With regard to those Who fight you not for Faith Nor drive you out of your homes From dealing kindly and justly with them For Allah loves those who are just"

Pictures of Muhammed
Toil and trouble He went through it all Just a man yet so much more He was the seal of prophet hood Orphan child Never knew his mother But brought with him all parents rights And love for children alike Illiterate and uneducated Yet not a word was taken for granted Read in the name of Your Lord A duty upon believers to seek knowledge A noble and trustworthy tradesman His character and personality spoke for him Can you imagine in those times A woman proposed to him Committed to his mission Peace treaties and alliances Evicting racism and hatred He even fought with rules and principles He preached for the sake of brother hood Humanity and love We were all one No nationality, no patriotism Such responsibility Yet never a burden Beaten and exiled he lost his wife and kids Still he carried on for us Courageous and fearless Never judged anyone by their past or looks Open minded and tolerant Even when he was helpless Jewish neighbours And Christian cousin in laws He believed in good relations And practised what was preached He spoke of a time riddled with strife Temptations with every breath Those people would be tested the most And he prayed for people he never met Yes we love him Because he guided us to right Showed us a perfect example The role model we all aspire to

Muhammed (pbuh)
I am In Love With The World I am in love with the rain when the sun is shinning In love with the thinning blades of grass when noon is peaking The change from dusk to dawn The mating of birds and hounds. I care for the full moon And the constallation of stars I'm in love with the African baboon And the roses that bloom in june Trees and shrubs that just are Green and sparse I delight in the birth puppies and the milking of cows Creatures of the earth that walk or just crawl I am in love with sedimentary rocks And sands of the sahara I am into streams and rivers Gold and silver that I am yet to see Into themes of the titanic and dreams of a mad man I like the farmer at his digging and the proffesor at his teaching The pastor at his preaching I admire the rapper's muse The idential triplets on the news I admire a soldier's courage As do I the techniques of the runway model. The orange cottage by the hill I am fascinated by the witch doctors juju and miracles of the Christian faith The politician's sway The beauty of love and the comfort of hope And ooh! The milky way I am intrigued by the internet's scope I love the lover's gaze and.. The rainbow after a storm Nature and all creation I am intrigued by the prophet Muhammed and the philosophy of the atheist Existance,Diversity,Intergration,Divinity

I amIn Love With the World
He was born under sun soaked skies, In the land of dawn’s rolling mountains, But this was home here and now, He was British, He loved the flavours of his community, And he inhaled the scent of this multi-coloured nation. For over seventy years he walked from home to work, And from work to home, a stone’s throw from a school, He walked through these happy and silent streets, He walked that same journey five times each day To offer up his love and his prayers, And to give thanks for the daily bread he baked. Then… One dark night of the soul, As he left his local mosque, And as he neared the safety of his home, Three infernal stabs came from the back, Deep, the blade slashed hard and it slashed deep, Grandfather, father, husband… no more. He was buried under sun soaked skies, In the land of green lilting hills, This was home here and now, Every speck on the crowded horizon is a human, The sun’s heat incinerates their hopes and tears, And the soil wept for justice of a gentle soul.

Muhammed Saleem – the Murdered Silence of a Soul
After 3 years of being her friend I finally asked her why she doesn't wear her turban She laughed with sadness in her eyes You mean a Dastaar? I blushed in embarrassment Wondering if I should keep going She tells me she doesn't wear it because she used to get bullied She's trying to blend in with us I imagine a church of millions in colorful turbans and dastaars I say tell me about your church She says it's a mosque I say tell me about your God She tells me Muhammed and the prophet Allah I say tell me about your Bible She says it's called a Quran She says what's it like to get baptized in your religion I say unlike other churches we don't get baptized into a a religion We get baptized with the Father, and the Son, and The Holy Spirit The Holy Trinity might one say She says tell me about Jesus I say that God sent his only son to be crucified for our sins when he has done no wrong She sings Jesus Take The Wheel But she is not Christian Other religions and cultures have always fascinated me I say tell me what's wrong She says her grandparents really don't like her as much Since she's running out of time and can't pray the obligated times People say she's Hindu People say she's from The Middle East People say she's a million things But to me she is the best bud, a human, like you and I I want to be in combat, as well as she I want to be in the Marines, she wants to try Army She tells me my father wanted to but he couldn't because of his vision She tells me the same might happen to her But it's the thought I told her I wanted to go to the Middle East before I join the Marines She said I'll go with you I say why? She says because you need someone to protect you I say okay we'll add that to the many states and countries to visit after we graduate She tells me I've been in the middle of war before I say what do you mean She tells me she just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time She tells me you know it's not a bad place in the Middle East I smile and I say I know It's not the country itself but the people within it She has relatives in India But was born in Richardson, TX She is Muslim I have relatives In America I was born in Denton, TX I am Christian Hatred is not simply taught.

It’s crawling up the drain pipe, It’s crawling in your bed, It’s coming back to remind you Of everything you said. It’s standing by the broken lamp That used to light your way, It’s filling in the empty spaces When you’ve nothing left to say. It’s fogging up the window, So close you cannot breathe, It’s watching you undress, It’s watching you retreat- Into your habits, Into your sheets, It’s waking you up When you’re trying to sleep. Into your whiskey, Into your tea, It’s spiking your food, It’s all you can see. It’s the rat inside the wedding cake, It’s the rain on a perfect day, It’s the wind that rattles everything, Every cymbal in your brain. It’s coming from the blind side, It’s arriving without warning, It’s brave and dark in the moonlight, It’s small and fearful in the morning. It’s Muhammed in the headlines, It’s Jesus on the cross, It’s the bias in the history books, It’s the meaning that got lost. It’s playing on your heartstrings, A song you cannot sing, A broken piece you cannot fix, The calm the pills don’t bring. Into your pockets, Into your blood, It’s getting to you Much more than it should. Into your mirror, Into the screen, All that you feel, all that you see Are ever-decreasing spirals And absent routine; It’s pacing the halls, It muffles your scream, It’s holding your tongue, It’s the mould in the crumb, It’s the secret you keep from everyone. It’s the reason why you stay inside, Why walking the street, Why leaving the house Is like turning the tide. It’s the jet-lag gloom It’s the familiar ache That weighs you down Every time you wake. It’s crawling up the phantom limb, It’s the corpses in the sea, It’s the debris that covers everything, This constant anxiety.

So here's why I am crazy. I practice equality. I actively act to ensure that right wins over wrong. To top this all off, the disengaged will use this to sing At the top of their lungs That I am crazy -- it will be their song. Now is it crazy to preach? Or for you Jesus, Muhammed or Yahweh devotees: You chant for peace and love, But when it's your turn to apply You conveniently turn your infamous blind eye? God forbid you open those eyes. And see the truth in the world you've ignored your whole life. By all means, please. Label me. Radical. What? What will you label those who practice what they preach, Rather than those who drift in ignorance, judgment and disbelief? Well I know what I call these Who sit and think the same as I. But wake up in the morning to start their daily dream. It's called hypocrisy. Go ahead turn down your lights. Now shut your blinds You are just participants in the guilty's crimes. And **** no I won't apologize. For valuing other life And **** your compromise. Here's how this all rolls You play the game Act nice and just let it go. And while the people of misfortune become further disenfranchised, You can take pride in knowing that Your ignorance is the safest place for you to hide. So yeah I'm ******* crazy.

Let the radicals go, it's a bloodthirsty code we can never understand, an evil hatred, masked-fanatics hijacking Muhammed will eventually give them enough rope to do themselves in.

Let 'Em Go , Muhammed's Got Something For Them Already
I want to do the taboo with you The city would become a deserted island If they knew what we were up to I want to do the taboo with you Even the gods, Muhammed and Jesus Bhudda and the powers that be would take a day off work Because of you and me Let's wander thru the galaxies That sing above us with their mathematics Let's walk on clouds that tempt us with their peace In our flesh That moves with bone and blood Its smells and re-growth Its dying Its strength Its boundaries I want to do the taboo with you The city would become a deserted island If they knew what we were up to I want to do the taboo with you
