How fortunate are we? I thought

As I saw those children on news that night

Crying and screaming wondering alone,

With no person to turn to, no one to hold.



I noticed a tear run down my face

What is its worth? I thought to myself

We all sit in our comfy chairs and watch the news

Hail curses at the mushrikeen and give them verbal abuse



What good will that do? I thought again

The next day you will see me acting the same

Smiling and joking, having a laugh

Forgetting about the tear that fell for the Muslimeen afar



I felt unease and guilty infact,

How dare I ignore this? I must make a pact

That I will do something to help my brothers and sisters,

For the Prophet Muhammad (saw) has taught us,

Whoever removed a grief from a believer

Allah will remove one grief from him on Yowm al-Qayamah



How blessed are we? How merciful He is!

Giving us an opportunity to attain Jannah with ease

Ill take up this chance! And act right away

For Allah’s (swt) cause, why should I delay?



The thought of those children are embedded in my mind

They remind me of unnecessary luxury that’s in my sight

A Warm cosy bed, latest tv, three or four dishes ready for me to eat.



And those blessed children who have no home,

Have no hand they can seek comfort from and no one to hold,

Their cries are ignored as they sit next to dead bodies

Bodies of those whom they once called mummy and daddy



The child is screaming and no one is near,

Shaking the dead bodies wanting them to hear

Calling for their parents, asking them to wake up

Yet there’s no response, just a big pool of blood

Gushing from the wound which pierced their body,

Hit the mother in the head and hit the father in the tummy



“Poor children” is all they seem to get

What about your money? Where is your wealth?

Use it wisely and do not over spend,

For giving it to the oppressed Muslimeen makes Allah your friend!

Put money where your mouth is and use your actions as they should be!

Help the children of al-Islaam!

And get out of your materialistic demand!



These thoughts echoed deeply in my mind

And now inshaAllah I will do what is right

Allah has blessed me with great wealth

More than that’s needed for maintaining my good health

The extra I will give in Allah’s (swt) way

And I pray deeply to Allah that I am not led astray

Back into the materialistic desires

That will only have an end which will be dire.



SubhanAllah this makes me feel so much better

Just wish I was like this before but I suppose its better late than never

Alhamdulillaah I have realised my goals in my life.

Everything needs to used wisely in order to survive

I will help the poor, widows and orphans alike

In order to be guaranteed a place in paradise



There are children suffering while we eat

There are widows crying as the husbands are killed by the mushrikeen

The poor are left homeless and hungry

We live peacefully without a thought? How dare we?!



Don’t ignore their suffering

For one day surely it maybe you

Who is seen on news, dead, gushing with blood

With your child who is screaming next to your foot

Helpless, hungry and cold,

With no one to comfort it, no one to hold!

they sit for hours crying and wondering... what happened to all the Muslims?, why doesn’t anyone help us?, why can't they hear our cries?, why don't they see our tears? And if they do why are they ignoring us? are we not Muslims?, Doesn't Islam say that all Muslims are brothers and sisters? Has all this bloodshed not had any effect on Muslims or all of humanity?, Why don't the Muslims wake up?, When will they wake up?, How much more blood is there to be shed? Why is the world so cruel?, When will our prayers be answered?, When will our voices be heard?, How many more tears are there to fall with no one there to catch them?, What have we done wrong?, Can Allah swt forgive us?, and if He does will they spare us?, How many more bodies will be buried?, When will terrorism stop?, and when will the real terrorist be identified?, If they are what will become of them? Nothing! Because, in order to be a terrorist you must be a Muslim. Is that what the word terrorism means? That's the definition I know and the one that all of humanity has accepted! Why isn't a non-Muslim a terrorist? Why is it always someone with a beard or dark complexion? It’s sad to say but most of this is true and most of my question will be ignored and not answered!

"What is the matter with you, that you fight not in the Path of Allah, while the weak and oppressedfrom among the men, women and children who are saying, 'Our Lord! Take us out of this town, whose people are oppressors, and give us from You one who will protect us, and give us from You one who will help us!" [alQuran 4:75]
