Look at the ummah of the west,
Most of us are completely messed,
Bombs being dropped in the east,
And we’re sat down enjoying a feast.

The Dunya means everything to them,
And yet they forget about the ultimate gem,
All they care about is the money, fame and game,
Yet they all sheep, they walk about the same.

But in the east, people are dying,
While war missiles are flying,
And brothers fighting brothers,
They are being edged on by others.

How can we stop this happening?
How can we stop this sad thing?
We just need to do one thing-unite,
And together, the oppression we shall fight.

But we don’t just have to fight physically,
We can use are brains and fight mentally,
Instead of using our fist we can use words as out trade,
And together this suffering we shall fade.

We can help each other together,
We can help each other forever,
We can show people we mean business,
We can show people we don’t put up this their silliness.

Can you imagine a world peaceful,
Where everybody is reasonable,
And we can all smile at each other,
And we live as one. As sisters and brothers.

Ring, ring the phone goes,
It rings while I’m down praying on all fours,
But then it stops and I hear my parents worried,
And I’m sorry to say but the rest of my prayer was hurried.

I went to my parents and asked what was wrong,
I was curious as the phone call hadn’t been long,
My dad looked at me with a worried face,
He said something that made my heart race.

He said my auntie from Yemen rang,
And no it wasn’t about Ying or yang,
He said they were coming to England on Saturday,
The last time they came was only in may.

Dad said uncle wasn’t there,
And that’s when I really started to care,
Why were they coming, was something up,
I thought this as I poured vimto into my cup.

It was so short-notice that the probably got a emergency ticket,
It was happening so fast I thought I was playing quick cricket
I mean what was up, why are they coming,
This was running through my mind as the cat I was grooming.

I’ll have to wait till Saturday, wait and see,
I’[m stressing out but that’s just like me,
So I get on my prayer mat and make a dua,
That they’ll be ok and I blow a kiss. Muwa!!

I’m so confused, I don’t know where to start,
My head is filled with so many things; I could be a Wal-Mart,
I just wish I were in some other place
Not stuck in this thing, you may call a rat race.

I mean like at school,
Some people thought it would be cool to act like fools,
But now there’s a division, a split in two,
And all cuz some people acted like, what u call, moo-moos.

And things going off at home,
That really want to make me roam,
Cuz all my gran seems to be doing is backbiting,
And all that leads to is her and my mum fighting,
And me upstairs sat on my bed writing,
Trying to focus on my words in the early morning dodgy lighting.

And far away is another war,
A war, may I ask, please no more,
In Palestine so many people are dying,
But all the stupid media keep on doing is lying.

But not just about Palestine, what about genocide,
The genocides happening world wide,
Thousands of people die each day,
But how many know this may I say.

When it all gets too much, I get myself up,
And kick the ball around so much I deserve to win a cup,
I kick with pumping sound systems in my headphones,
That help me drown out my everyday morns.

It’s 8 in the morning in the summer holiday,
But my tears keep falling all they may,
Who’s this white cat sat in my lap,
It’s my lil dude habibi helping me rap!!!

salaam

just thought i'd share some of my poems/raps with you.

plz comment

-----------------------------------------------

I am feeling very sleepy,
Today in school my friend got weepy,
I put my arm around her and told her not to cry,
and i wiped the tear from her eye.

Some friends come and some friends go,
Some people just don't know when to say no.
But if they fear allah and are sincere and strong
I forgive their mistakes and all the things that have gone wrong



(^^^All true^^^I thought it was a good way of putting my emotions down)

------------------------------------------------------------
awwww jazakallah thanks for that bro,
just let me know when ya going to do more.
all ur raps marshallah they mean something
inshallah u'll be blessed from allah the king!!

(i was replying to a brother who made a rap for me)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

my cat habibi is laying down asleep,
asleep dreaming about a sheep.
He sleeps 80% of the day
And miews alot when i'm away.

(i didn't know what to rap about)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

hey sis billz where u been,
i've been so worried i've been going green.
Love the little snappy rap
but right now i'm tired so i'm gonna take a nap

(i was missing a sister called bills)

------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't care what people say
I follow Muhammad (saw) in every way
The way I talk, the way I pray
I try to be a good Muslim every day

I think of u the most beloved one
I think of the place I've gone wrong

(Following part is taken from a nasheed)

Your smile is so bright
It lit up the dark night
Brought mercy and light
To my waiting heart

I know that I'm weak
Of my sins I can't speak
Your mercy I seek
Thought I'm not worthy

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everybody, get up it's time to pray,
I pray 5 times, 5 times a day.
Together we all stand facing one way,
Together we unite in every way

No excuses of why u can not pray,
Cuz we need him in everyday
So don't tell me just why u turned up late
If we want to have peace we must obey and pray

Stand is a line shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot,
Wearing clean clothes not covered in soot.
We bow down to the creator Allah
Allah our lord, the merciful Allah

I know my friend it's not easy
But we must try believe me
And we will feel a difference
In our lives and Allah will give us strength

(i was getting ready to pray)

-------------------------------------------------------------

Smile forever,
There's nothing to hide.
I am a muslim
that's for sure,
I should know

I put on my Hijaab,
not forgetting my julbaab.
i walk out of the door saying bismilallah
I am a muslim
That's sure I should know

People rap about drugs and drinks,
Na ah not me,
I rap about my faith
It's the way I am
I am a muslim
thats for sure
I should know.

(one of my first raps)

---------------------------------------------------------------
Allah knows what's best for us

So why should we complain?

We always want the sunshine

But He knows there must be rain



We always want the laughter

And the merriment of cheer

But our hearts lose their tenderness

If we never shed a tear



Allah tests us often

With suffering and with sorrow

He tests us not to punish us

But to help us meet tomorrow



For growing trees are strengthened

If they withstand the storm

And the sharp cut of the chisel

Gave the marble grace and form



Allah tests us often

And for every bit of pain

Provided we are patient

Is followed by rich gain



So whenever we are down

And everything is going wrong

It is just Allah's way

To make our spirit strong

---------------------------------------------------------------

so there are a few. inshallah there should be many more to come so watch this space

peace
