"The Path of Islam"

Allah! Our Creator! All Knower, All Wise!
Master is HE of Earth and Paradise.
No partner, no family, no kith nor kin;
HE is the creator of mankind and jinn.

Muhammad(saw),the Final messenger;
A friend to all, he was no stranger.
The word of Allah, he did proclaim;
A man of courage, honour and fame.

When Gabriel descended, the Quran was revealed;
Muhammad(saw) was shaken, his lips were sealed.
Slowly, he knew why the Quran was sent;
the truth in it and what it meant.

He invited the people, far and near;
to embrace Islam without any fear.
He was mocked by the people and called a liar;
Little did they know, their abode was Hell-fire.

Muhammad (saw) went on, you could never see him cease;
His love for Allah never did decrease.
He fought many battles, took no defeat;
The enemies of Islam were forced to retreat.

The word of Allah spread far and wide;
Muslims took Quran as a sign and a guide.
Islam is our wealth, Quran our treasure;
Our love for Allah, no one can measure.

"Our Tests"

We have been told numerous times
That the journey to Jannah is not a free ride.
Trials and tests we must all face
To distinguish between the true and weak-faith.

Many give up while on the true path
We can see that the weak-hearted never last.
True love for Allaah always sees us through
If you keep making duâ'aa, He'll respond to you.

Nay! He is not named Al-Mujeeb for nothing
Verily, Allaah truly is The Responsive.
The plea of His slave, He loves to Hear
Surely, can you believe that Allaah's not there?

Patience is a virtue that must be attained
By the Will of Allaah, Jannah will be gained.
With every hardship definitely comes ease
Allaah's our Witness, Al-Shaheed.

Along with patience comes gratitude
Allaah's The Loving, Al-Wadood.
Truly He loves us when we obey
If we stick to Islaam, we'll never go astray.

Tribulations befall those whom Allaah loves
Passing His tests makes you free like as a dove.
To know that you stuck through it with Him
Truly Allaah Knows all, He's Al-'Aleem!

✦ KNOCKING AT THE DOOR OF ALLAH ✦

"As long as you are performing prayer, you are knocking at the door of Allah, and whoever is knocking at the door of Allah, Allah will open it for him" [Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (note that this isn't a hadith, but a statement of the great scholar Ibn Qayyim)]

"Come Take A Tour Of Jannah"

"Come Take A Tour Of Jannah"

Whatever we do,we will pay the price.

Even if it means crawling for a grain of rice.
In the gloomy depths of Hell or in Paradise.

A pious believer is like a parrot dying to fly out of it's cage.
For the unbeliever this is the hereafter,the ultimate stage.

Little does he know about the awaiting reward.
Which is full of luxuries and blessings,where no-one gets bored.

You'll enter the 8 gates of paradise if it's in your fate.
Your intentions and actions will determine your faith,please appreciate.

On entering the gate, you'll be surrounded by bliss.
Remember the hereafter,forget the mess.

Four rivers will be granted by the Divine.
Full of water,milk,honey and even wine.

People will live in lofty mansions built high.
Where they'll live forever,where no-one will die.

It's bricks will be made of silver and gold.
Which not even us all put together could mold.

The climate will be perfect,not hot nor cold.
Things which slipped free,you will be able to hold.

A hundred years it will take to circle a tree.
Forget the past,your soul has been set free.

Spending time with our whole family,the lot.
So remember the Hereafter don't lose the plot.

There will be no calls of nature,no-one will sleep.
There will be no worries,no tears and no one will weep.

When people sweat,it will smell of musk.
Allah swt will be praised from dawn till dusk.

Subahanallah,Mashallah,Allahu Akbar,Ya Allah,Alhumdulilah.

When walking along there'll be many meetings.
With Prophets and Angels exchanging greetings.

Such is the ecstasy that will then prevail.
When Allah swt removes His veil.

There are many levels to paradise and we should pray.
That Al Firdaus, the highest will be where we stay.

Allah swt has showered us with His grace.
And we have to be worthy to show our face.

Whatever we do ,we'll pay the price.
In the depths of hell or in paradise.
