Don't Let Us Sink!

In the time of
ignorance, Arabia was really savage,
They were a backwards nation, their
way of life was a way of ravage.
However, they were eloquent speakers,
who cared for their guests,
But who cares about that, these guys buried
their daughters alive in jest!
They would often drink all night and
wage war all day,
They would shamelessly fornicate; it was part of their
way.
Then from amongst themselves came a shining light,
Who didn't
follow their ignorance, he did what was right.
He was known for his
dignity and was called Amin,
Eventually he would be taught by Al-Hakeem.
He was then given the Message, and was sent to convey,
He
was given the truth, he invited to the noblest way.
There were those
who accepted it, and there were those who turned away,
There were those who
were guided and there were those who went astray.
Tension grew between
the groups as the days past by,
Muslims would be tied to the sand and left
in the sun to fry.
The tension got so bad the Muslims went to Madina,
They were bringing Islam to a new arena.
The ummah was
growing and the Message was spreading,
Towards justice and greatness the
ummah was heading.
There were several battles, the ummah was
attacked,
But nothing could stop them; they weren't going to be
sacked.
The ummah was spreading against all odds,
When you're helped
by Allah, danger is just a facade.
The Message was dispatched and the
Messenger's life was completed,
The ummah was saddened but was nowhere near
being defeated.
The most righteous men became its most righteous
leaders,
And the Message of Islam was spread thousands of
meters.
The ummah became the foremost of those with powers,
And the
justice of Islam was spreading like wild flowers.
As our ummah was
spreading across the lands,
The treasures of the world fell in our
hands.
As the generations came and the generations went,
There were
some changes in the ummah that we didn't prevent.
We started to see
Muslims who were insincere,
Because love for the world happened to
appear.
Leaders began to ignore the rules of Allah and act on
desire,
They did this in hope of the treasure they wanted to
acquire.
Somewhere along the line, kings started to
appear,
Somewhere along the line the ummah started drinking
beer.
With rage in our hearts, we were fighting each other,
With
swords in our hands, we turned towards our brothers.
What happened to
the ummah, where were we heading?
We ignored the Message, so corruption was
spreading.
The ummah that grew and became so great,
Was losing its
honor, it began to dissipate.
As the time went on, the ummah remained
in trouble,
The great empire of Islam was reduced to stubble.
Now
the story comes to us, the majority of whom don't even pray,
I don't even
think we practice the deen nearly halfway.
Alcohol is rampant, even
during the days of Ramadan,
Zena is everywhere, don't act like its not
going on.
Our unity's been shattered and we've left the Quran,
We
don't wake up for fajr, we wake up after dawn.
I've met 'Muslim'
children, who don't even know Allah's name,
We were once great, but when we
left the deen, look what we became!
We've lost our power, were the
laughing stock of the nations,
Because we left the deen, we left our only
foundation.
However, as a mercy from Allah, the Message was still
preserved,
It was kept intact even though many of us may have
swerved.
With Islam we are great, without it we are nothing,
Lets
get back to this path, come on lets do something!
We have the map to
greatness and Paradise too,
Whether or not you intend to use it is up to
you.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link,
Don't be the one
that lets the whole ummah sink!
We had gone so far but then came down
so low,
But lets get back up! Oh Allah, in Islam let us
grow.
