Umbrella Of The Ummah...

Our Ummah is in such a state that if our beloved Prophet (SAW) was to see us right now He may not even recognize us. Our Brothers and Sister around the world are suffering to the extent of thinking that its a norm. There suffering is NOT a norm, it's completely out of order. I don't know when the world will start to realise that enough is enough, you can't fight guns with guns.Where is our common sense? Whilst the politicians think they are fighting an evil it is costing the lives of innocent civilians. The simple Human right to life is slowly starting to become a myth for some people. We need change. That change starts with US as an individual. We need to understand that we as an Ummah are one body, if one part of the body is not functioning properly it is up to us to fix it. If we want to change the state of our Ummah we need to change ourselves and those around us first, without those basic foundations how is it that we plan to change the world. Every action we do in this world will have a repercussion on our Ummah, it is our responsibility to make sure it is a good one. Without helping ourselves how can we truly help others?

Oh believers our Lord is One. 

Our Ummah should be one.

But are our hearts truly one?

Is our Ummah one body?

Do we share the same tears, heart and lungs?

Or is that just another analogy we choose to ignore?

How much blood has been shed? 

How much tears have been dropped?

How much souls are now gone?

Their pain should be our pain,

but are we an umbrella to our believers when it truly rains?

Are you living for yourself or you living for they (Ummah)?

Are you clinging on to the dust called luxury, 

or has the Dunya betrayed you and left you insane?

Or are you waiting for the Akhirah because the Dunya has nothing but afflictions and pain?

Tears for our brothers and sisters have been slain,

cheers to the ones that have been brave. 

There are those amongst us burying the truth and putting lies on display. 

Oh believers we will have our day, 

the tears of yesterday will become our smiles for today. 

Put your faith on display like the moon and the stars at night,

Be patient for the promise of Allah is surely coming our way.

(A poem by Anonymous Aliza that sums it up beautifully... Jazakallahu Khair for everything May Allah reward you in this world and the hereafter. Allahumma Ameen.)
