When I say... I am a Muslim
When I say... I am a Muslim,
I'm not shouting "down with Christians and Jews."
I am whispering "I seek peace," and Islam is the path that I choose.
When I say... I am a Muslim,
I speak of this with pride.
And confess that sometimes I stumble, and need Allah to be my guide.
When I say... I am a Muslim,
I know this makes me strong.
And in those times when I am weak, I pray to Allah for strength to carry on.
When I say... I am a Muslim,
I'm not boasting of success,
I'm acknowledging that Allah has rescued me, and I cannot ever repay the debt.
When I say... I am a Muslim,
I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are indeed visible, but Allah forgives because his followers are worth it.
When I say... I am a Muslim,
it does not mean I will never feel pain.
I still have my share of heartaches, which is why I invoke Allah's name.
When I say... I am a Muslim,
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority. My duty is to submit to Allah's all-encompassing love.
