Divided World..
World of Islam...
no more mercy...no more sympathy...
do we feel sympathy...
to our brothers...
brothers in faith

they are tortured
tortured to death...
while we are singing...
watching and lying...
no more caring...
as in the Prophet's teaching...

is it our fault...
or fault of the West...
who conquered and left...
the Ummah of deft...

Muslims everywhere...
In the East and the West...
waiting for the call...
call of unison...
coz when the call comes...
they will realize...
how long they've been sleeping...

in this divided world...
World of Islam.

A Barbershop & Turkey [country]…

A Turkish person I know was getting a haircut with another buddy/friend of his who was fairly religious mashallah. The barber was about done cutting the hair back in Turkey and the friend said to the effect, “May Allah reward you for your goodness.”

The Barber huffed and puffed and was like – “don’t mention God in here – I don’t believe in him. He was obviously an atheist and then continued saying that all you need to is to look out and see all the evil that occurs. The friend remained quiet…saying nothing at all and waited until the Barber had ‘cooled off.’

He took the barber and told him – “Look outside, do you notice anything?” The barber replied no..nothing in particular.

The friend said, “Look at the person, how come his hair is long?”

The barber was like –Of course, if a person doesn’t come into my barbershop to get his haircut, how can I cut his hair. His hair is going to be long like that.

The friend said, “and likewise…if people don’t point their direct and heart towards God…how is it that you expect things to change…things will continue as in the state they are today…

As the famous prophetic narration says – Remember Allah and He will protect you; remember Allah and you shall find Him in your path; if you ask, ask Allah; and if you seek help, seek it from Allah.

Allahumma amin
