when i say I Am a Muslim (Poem)

Assalam O Alaikum

*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 such authority. My duty is to submit to Allah's all-encompassing love.

*Alhamdulilah ,Thank You Allah swt For everything...!

Great job Sunshine

We must take pride in being a Muslim. All other religions' people are bent upon making us ashamed of our religion. We need to raise our head and shoulders with the pride the we are the slave servants of Ar-Rahman.

Keep up the spirit
