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.

PeaceCharity that is a nice poem and it says that you would likely be a good person to have as a neighbour. That's especially important in religiously pluralistic societies where lots of different folks live in close proximity. Best regards.

When I say i'm Muslim,
It means to adhere to the Noble Quraan,
So if I defend the Muslim Nations,
I know it is Allah's Command!
