They say we are.(Islamic Poem)

THEY SAY WE ARE-KARIM EWURA ADAMS
They say we are this
They say we are that
Those are the words on their tongues
For they know not what to use against us

Our name is been dragged in the mud
For the sake of a minute

Have you waited to think for a minute?
Before taking your final minutes
On whom we really are and what we actually do?
Then ask.

Peace and submission to the will of Allah is what we stands for
As beautiful as the name implies
As beautiful as the people are

Tolerance is our hallmark
Humility and respect for all
Our most charitable values
Integrity, we do not joke with
That is why we are always covered from every angle
We love you irrespective of where you are coming from
It is only within us you see no difference between the rich and poor

We believe in the only One Supreme Being
Who sent down Muhammad (SAW) as a messenger to the whole of mankind

From dusk till dawn are foreheads are humbly rested on the earth in honour of He Alone
Care and support for the needy we do not joke with
Be it our last coin
For we cannot feed alone

And when the Holiest month of Ramadan arrives
We welcome it with all spirituality and preparedness
To be filled and nourished with Islamic nutrients

Indeed this is a month we all love in one way or the other
Memuna learns to cook from mum
Adams learns how to slaughter the animal
We join hands to do justice to some bowls of fufu and Tuozaafi
I call it the once in a life time excursion
Visiting the Holy mosque of Saudi Arabia
To pay allegiance to the Allah Almighty

We believe in His ONENESS
Supreme and Eternal
Infinite and Mighty,
Merciful and Compassionate
Creator and Provider
He has neither mother nor father
Neither son nor daughter
He is God of all mankind

We believe in all His prophets and messengers without any discrimination
We also believe in the Zabur that was sent through David,
We believe in the Taurat sent through Moses
And of course our close brother the Holy Bible
And our very own Quran and all other books sent down
Ohhh the beautiful angels
They are wonderful creatures who protect us and monitor our every move
We believe they exist too and they worship Allah just as we do

Yes a day will surely come when the heavens branch of WAEC will give to us all our results
Yes Yaumul Kiyaama
So prepare.
He is the All Powerful God
He planned your life before bringing you here
He has power over our destiny and what He says is final
How beautiful we are as a people
Yet they say we are terrorists, we are murderers and we are barbaric

But I tell them do not judge us for what we have done not
Do not judge us for what Boko haram does
Neither should you judge us by what ISIS nor ALQAEEDA does for they are not from our fold
If they understood true Islam then they wouldnt kidnap innocent young girl, kill innocent souls and force others to join
For true Jihad doesnt mean killing
Our religion says leave them to come if they are willing
Because true Islam starts from the heart
Yes our Religion says Laa iqraa ha fiddeen
There is no compulsion in religion
We are a peaceful and loving religion
We are here for the sake of humanity
Not against humanity
We say love for all hatred for none
Not love for some hatred for some
We fight not with the sword but rather with the pen.
