Just a little something to share from one sister to other
sisters in light of inspiration and striving to be all we can be with
the Guidance of our Gracious Lord and Creator, Allah.
In the name of Allah, Beneficent, the Merciful
As-salaamu alaykum,
Here is a poem celebrating the conviction of our Muslim sisters.
It was taken from the poetry section of the Anwaar ul-Haqq page
located at http://home1.gte.net/mujahid.
Insha'Allah, visit this site and submit articles or poems.
They stand there with shorts, so short, excessively short,
shorts that so deceptively capture from them all they know
of modesty...
...and I proudly pull my scarf over my hair
They stand there, face lost in a sea of make-up,
make-up that so ruthlessly captures from them all they know
of freedom...
...and I proudly pull my scarf over my hair
They stand there, hair raining with gels, colors -
chemicals that so menacingly capture from them all they know
of purity...
...and I proudly pull my scarf over my hair
They stand there, so close, so very close to their "lover",
devoted to them, the devotion that so mercilessly captures
from them all they know of individuality...
...and I proudly pull my scarf over my hair
And they stand there, talking of getting new shorts, new gels
and colors, new boyfriends, materialistic things
that so wrongfully capture from them all they know
of God and love...
...and I proudly pull my scarf over my hair
For my scarf is my protector, my lover, my devotion,
my pureness, my beauty, my rememberance of God,
And I proudly pull it over my hair knowing that when I wear it,
I so rightfully thrust away all the things that the devil
brought about,
And when I put it on, I am
Free...
wa salaam i hope you all enjoyed that, and i also hope to recieve positive feedback sharing your ideas and thoughts.
