What happened to the ummah
once known so well? Our greatness was known, but now can you tell? Our
Masaajid are empty, but our refrigerators are stocked. We've lost our deen,
but we feel secure, our mansions are locked.
What happened to the ummah
once known so well? Our greatness was known, but now can you tell? Our
chrildren don't know even how to pray. "but hey, little Mo got an A in
Physics, so I guess that's OK."
What happened to the ummah once known
so well? Our greatness was known, but now can you tell? We sleep through
fajr, but are up for the world cup. "What go to the Mosque? Brother I'm
busy filling my pocket up!"
What happened to the ummah once known so
well? Our greatness was known, but now can you tell? Children in Africa
are starving and thus can't even afford to cry. "What? Sorry I missed
that, I was on my cell, but go on I just said good-bye."
What happened
to the ummah once known so well? Our greatness was known, but now can you
tell? We used to smile at each other with faces full of light. Now we
frown at each other, we bicker and we fight.
What happened to the ummah
once known so well? Our greatness was known, but now can you tell? The
Quran has left our hearts and is stranded hanging on our walls. "Brother
what was that, did you say something about a mall?"
What happened to
the ummah that was once so fare? "Forget the ummah, man I don't even
really care!" But our sisters in Chechnya are raped, beaten and left alone
just weeping! "Brother, I got to go, my pager is beeping............."
