Pray for the Ummah

Pray for the Ummah

So brothers and sisters,
Come together and pray.
Pray for another breath,
Pray for another day.
Bloodshed, famine, does not cease,
Only with Him, do we find peace.
Battles are fought, blood is shed,
So much death is in this sea of red.

Yet here we sit, safe and proud,
Others scream in agony, scream so loud.
Screams drowned as their shells mash crowds,
Bombs crashing drown the sounds, it shrouds,
Covers the corpses, stifles their cries,
No survivors; everyone dies.

Silent on the battle field,
Now loud is the battle-cry,
A monstrous sound, hated by all,
The call to watch thousands die.
From baby girl to old man,
They murder them all,
Whether by bomb or bullet,
Dead they all fall.

Yet that’s miles away
So we take no heed,
We just watch as they bleed,
They scream, they plead.…

We’re corrupted, greedy, drunk and vain,
While our pious brothers suffer in pain.
The media shows before our eyes,
The horror of war, which we disguise.
We see them murdered,
We hear their cries,
Yet we ignore their pleas,
Ignore, as the death tolls rise…

Music blares through headphones,
T.V on all day,
Emailing gossip on internet,
In the Akhirah we will pay.
High on drugs-just weed and stuff,
Laughing drunkenly,
Had to sleep the night out rough,
Screaming, swearing crazily.

Fights always happen,
Stabbings in the park,
Thugs walking the streets,
Not safe out after dark.
Mugged for wallet stuffed with cash,
Or for the mobile we proudly flash.
Tight clothes, pricey and clear,
No shame in this-its designer gear!
Got to make more money, nothing’s free,
Only have three phones; not enough for me.

We ignore these facts,
Squander our life,
While wars and disasters,
Elsewhere are rife.
Death is everywhere,
Plain as the eye can see,
Yet we manage to forget it,
While chatting or on MP3.

We’re lost in our lives,
No thought of our deen,
What’s happened to this Ummah?
To the brave Muslimeen?
Why have Allah’s lions,
Fallen to their knees?
Oh where are the pious Muslims,
To remove this disease?

O what’s happened to this Ummah,
Once so strong and pure
Truth and brotherhood known far and wide
Intentions sincere once Iman so sure.

A few remember,
Follow His path,
But many have strayed,
To taste His wrath.
Deceived by dunya,
How blind we have been,
To not see the truth,
For ignoring our deen.

We are lions of Allah,
So rise up from your knees,
Don’t bow down to their laws,
Stand as straight as you please.
Can’t compromise our deen,
Let us worship in peace,
For we believe in the Unseen,
And know this dunya will cease.

Don’t be deceived by worldly desire,
Or you’ll end up inside the burning fire.
Forget the temptations of dunya,
Or the whispers of Shaytan,
Be steadfast in deen,
And have the strongest of Iman.

Make dua, beg forgiveness,
Read Quran and fast,
For we do not know,
How long this life will last.
So prepare yourself now,
Before brought forth on the Day,
Decide your eternity in this Test,
And don’t be tempted to stray.
Follow the Prophet’s Sunna,
And believe me when I say,
Abide by Allah’s Laws,
For in the Akhirah we will pay.

So make dua for the Ummah,
To remain steadfast in Deen,
Obey Allah’s Commands,
As righteous Muslimeen.

So brothers and sisters,
Come together and pray.
Pray for another breath,
Pray for another day.
Make dua for the Ummah,
Of Sayyidinah Rusool Allah (s.w.t)
