Alms not Arms


Remember when the west was blessed safe from harms

Knew new secular psalms disarms with vernacular charms

Or calms any qualms or alarms with those boozy balms

Now USA commands AI lie farms and Mar a Lago palms

Blight of trite so called Christian right their call to arms 

Islam’s Zakat demands that poor get alms in their palms

Forget regret silhouette Vietnam's reprimands napalms

Premium Member Hold

Holding my temper, I cry
Holding my eyes, I censor
Holding my tongue, I’m muted
Holding my ears, I deafen
Holding my hunger, I starve
Holding my thirst, I dry up
Holding my love, I push back
Holding my zakat, I give
Holding everything Holy; 
Holding and shunning evil.

Dialogue

Mum:Who have you taken after??
Your father wasn't selfish like you..
Nahil:I have taken after Uncle Supari..
He is selfish as well...
He doesn't give 22 crore rupees Zakat..
He spent his money on his luxurios life...
Uncle Supari cannot give his money for
the welfare of Pakistan...
Mum:Nahill Nahill Nahil..
Nahil:Shut up you aged & Jahil....
There is no use of crying over spilt milk...


The Ingredients of Faith

To dwell in paradise
In company of the noble Prophet
Get these ingredients
And have a share in the everlasting merriments
Shaadah
It is to testify
That no other deity is worthy of worship but Allah
And that Muhammed is His messenger
Solah
It is to worship Allah 5 times a day
Yield to the call of Adhan
And Call on Him as much as you can.
Zakat
Give of what you have been given
For when you give
In return His blessings you shall receive.
Sawm
You are commanded to fast
In the beautiful month of Ramadan
Fast my brother, fast as much as you can.
Hajj
Seek the house of Allah
In the beautiful city of Makkah
Go on the journey, do the tawahf round the Kaabah

I Need Your Love , Your Kindness

My belly burns in hunger, lips like an arid
land
You cant quench my thirst; you cant quench
my hunger
Let alone a little heart that craves for love
since birth!
Wearied and cold I am and lie down on the
pavement
Aching for a warm and cozy sleep tonight
Let in my dreams twinkle the stars up above
Oh! Allah ! , bless me a deep sleep with full stomach or wake me not in this heartless world again!
Feed the poor orphan and poor people. You r human right ?
Do sodqa , give your zakat o my precious dears
