  • Beautiful Brother may Allah bless you.

  • Oh and I love this peom.

    

  • Alluhu Akbar! All true muslims share the same view as him.

  • @MsThemuh i hope so xxx

  • Comment removed

  • wish I heard more muslims speaking out against these tactics used by people of their own faith. I am a agnostic/athiest who prays for moderation on all sides

  • Islam the only evil is suicide bombers beside suppressing the freedom of women. Not enough Muslims speaks up but are many sympathizers.

  • thank you for using your voice in this lifetime to touch my life.

  • love this poem, had to share it on facebook. thank you so much. Allah <3

  • I thought this was a rli good poem. This has actuly made me less aginst islam and more understanding

  • Does Dr Rafey Habib have a Youtube Channel?

  • Nice poem, but the only problem with the Islamic Fundamentalists, are the fundamentals of Islam.

  • @KeroroGunsouTX

    It's easy to parrot Sam Harris, but it isn't so easy to read the Qur'an and Hadith. I suggest you learn a bit about Fiqh - the majority of the Classical Scholars (based on the Qur'an and the Sunnah) forbade the deliberate killing of women and children. Thusly, most acts of Islamic Terrorism contradict the Shari'ah.

  • @KeroroGunsouTX im sorry, but there is nothing wrong with our quran. But there is something wrong with hateful people.

  • People are being encouraged by evil Maulas or Imams to commit acts of suicide in the name of God.

    Islam forbids any type of suicide.

    Suicide in Islam means GO TO HELL!

  • delete the *to.

  • I would say the same about a Radical Crusader. I to am a Christan and feel that way about those who commit acts of genocide in the name of Jesus.

  • This is beautiful. From a Christian who is trying to understand it all, thank you.

  • My wisdom is seeking Islam and understanding it So thank you for adding to one mans thoughts to anothers in the eyes of god

    Reminds me of the 2 warriors fighting 1 muslim 1 non muslim at the end of the fight the non muslim spits in the face of the muslim and the muslim throws down his sword. Because he knows he can not kill this man out of hate For he was truly a holy warrior

  • I am an American Muslim and this just made my day thank you dear brother mashallah

  • Please stop to kill people ...

  • sura 9;111 speaks

  • I dislike Muslims by nature and even I liked this video. Very heartfelt and genuine.

  • @AngryDeli wow, how many muslims do you know? thats a pretty blanket statement.

  • @LMAliRN I live in the Detroit area. Trust me, they're all over the place and most of them are rude as shit.

  • how can people not like this video?

  • @hellenic300

    because it ruins it for them, they wanted a reason to hate muslims, but this goes against their hatred

  • @CaligirlSofia thank you for ypour devotion to my cocK

  • great video (no lie) but jihadist forum still up no matter what also videos convert to islam or else lol

    yo you got a video reply to muslim judges ruling against non-muslim or muslim who are trying to change religion from the middle east?

  • We can all coexist. This is really cool, every religion should be striving for peace and put in place those who are idiots. I respect this video.

  • Why does peace words always less powerful than words of hate? Why are people so quick to make all muslims guilty of being terrorists and can't accept that true muslims are good people?

  • Bravo....more muslims should do this..

  • You know what Many muslims need to do. They need to read the Quran and truly understand it. Then they need to learn about Muhammad, s.a.s, I mean truly learn about him. Read his autobiography and see what a great example he is. They then need to go out in the world and make sure that every action they do is an Islamic way and represents the Prophet in a good way. Because when people know that you are a Muslim they will begin to judge Muhammad, sas, on everything you do.

  • Ibn Ishaq:327 "Allah said, 'A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.'"

  • @abouhfarahreine sorry I havent hrd of Ibn Ishaq. Is it a name of a hadith book or a surah from the Quran. what is it?

  • Thank you again for your poems. I am a woman of Jewish descent and my best friend is Muslim. We're both yoga teachers in California and writers. Where do you teach? We want to be part of an educated peaceful movement to redefine the stereotypes that perpetuate the paranoia and unrest that exists between two rich artful cultures who are siblings from the same family, and also between all cultures who are siblings from the same family. Our thing is using the arts, of wit,, song, & humor, and lov

  • @Larasackey Dear Larasackey,Thanks you for your message; if you send me your e-mail address, I will reply. Take care, Rafey.

  • That's in French, but it says that muslims should believe in what was given to Jesus, Moses and Mohammad. So Terrorists are not Muslims!

    136. Dites : “Nous croyons en Allah et en ce qu'on nous a révélé, et en ce qu'on n'a fait descendre vers Abraham et Ismaël et Isaac et Jacob et les Tribus, et en ce qui a été donné à Moïse et à Jésus, et en ce qui a été donné aux prophètes, venant de leur Seigneur : nous ne faisons aucune distinction entre eux. Et à Lui nous sommes Soumis”

  • Q: How do you get a Muslim woman pregnant?

    A: Dress her up as a goat.

    Squirt your sperm on the wall. The flies do the rest ?

  • @krakmxer oh getting a muslim woman pregnent is the same as any other women after marriage. She doesnt need to be dressed as a goat.

  • @krakmxer You have a law mentality, filthy mouth, heart of arrogance, and jealousy. May God guide you to the straight path.

  • @SuperMuslimas please remind that to all your muslim sisters and brothers. and May GOD open your eyes soon. 

  • @krakmxer yeah ur eyes too ;p

  • thou shall not kill........what sweet thoughts.....didnt God write that to moses in stone with his finger! He means it....christians jews and muslims alike...especially radical muslims and jewish zionist! true followers of god after christ never kill they trust God to do it! peace i say to all Gods humans today!

  • Its real easy for him to recite a poet like that when he lives a COMFORTABLE WESTERN life with a nice cozy bed, a pantry full of food and a Starbucks on every corner. Not to mention its his tax dollars that are funding the mass oppression of the Muslims overseas. Go live in Palestine for a few years and then tell me if you feel the same way. Not to mention, grow your beard and trim your mustache, its obligatory!

  • @newtype64 in other words, it's easy for him to not be a brainwashed, vile, murderous scumbag because he doesn't live in the filth, poverty, and abject ignorance that defines the middle east. good point.

  • That there is a fine poem.

  • Thank you for Sharing this beautiful well thought poem...Jazak Allah Khyring brother.

  • Violence & fitnna more dangerous than war war irregular, disorganized by methods for establishing a climate of terror

  • Gzak allah kher brother - Thanks For Sharing

  • I am Jewish and I have a Muslim friend who is truly familiar with all of the koran and doesn't copy and paste verses. These terrorist lunatics might just as well be devil worshippers.

  • @adace1: I wish if you could advise those lunatics jews who are killing children in Gaza also!!

  • Nice, I like it.. good work..

  • Extreme islam will end up like new nazism groups when the largest groups are destroyed. They will appear once in a while but they will be hated all over the world.

  • This is not the true face of islam it is AL TAQQIYA..remeber folks islam is only the religion of peace while muslims remain a minority

  • you are not helping here.. the muslims are split

  • well said brother

  • nice to see some muzzie slam the jihadist terrorists

    doesnt happen much so it needs to be applauded

  • First Muslim I have ever seen speak out against radicals.

  • @DumpHarryReidNevada

    There are many that are against these radicals. Just that the media isnt interested in showing them.

  • awesome poem!!awesome message

  • nice poem...mine would have been a bit different...maybe a hiku...and probably would have been pretty blunt

  • That was really cool!

    Peace!

  • This was a nice poem, even thou im not religious in any way.

  • thanks alot, isit ok if we can download and upload this video and change the title of the video so more people can actually get the picture of Islam, i think its a good idea, any ways please reply to me if i can have your permission

  • Yes, what did you have in mind?

  • just wanna get the message to those who think bad of us

  • OK, that's fine with me

  • Islam is a Pure and a Peaceful Religion. Islam does NOT, and I repeat, does NOT allow suicide a attack. In Islam, suicide is 'Haram' (strictly forbidden)

  • This poem encourages me to learn more about Islam and read the Holy Koran for myself! I understand that knowing Arabic is a better translation, but in my own language, it is important that I get the general point of it. Thank you.

  • if u all think that Islam is the name of terrorism u r tottaly wrong... comon try to think out of the box..... we muslims are also seriving this terrorism we also loosing our childs....

  • best poem ever on these tormented days

  • Kudos on the video!

  • Thank you

  • Nice work great poem speak the peace

    ...and for the rest....>_> ugh religion is redundant people are stupid

    mix redundant and stupid and extremist is what you get

  • killing innocent people on the enemys side? that is NOT the way of any of allah's apostles. killing innocents is not islamic. RIP those who died in 9/11

  • yes and the 1 million iraqies and 2 million palastenian and 400 thouthand lebanesse and so on its weird

  • We muslims havent done it. We know, whats right or wrong. Why its not continuing, and suddenly stopped in all around the world. All brainwashed. Your government killed your presidents, most of them are Jews, what you know.

  • Mashallah Brother! Jazakalllah Khair, Rmadan Kareem, inshallah this video will reach those who are thinking of performing an act oh so sinful

  • That was beautiful. Thank you.

  • I'm Catholic since birth..

    I'm always respect the other religion especially ISLAM..

    But "FUCK" that ABU SAYAFF & MILF group who

    kill the innocent people in Mindanao..

    btw Awesome poem..

  • Only evil humans will condem this Video.

  • Check these videos out -

    watch?v=vjmPVwG5jAk

  • This poem shows that Islam is a religion of humanity and tolerance which places a high value on knowledge. It undermines the ignorant steretoyping of Islam based on comments torn from their context in the Quran. Thank you, and peace.

  • Christians are famous for thekilling of millions of people through history, in the name of religion, exterminating cultures and beliefs of others. COMPULTION is not the way, man... It is radical and extreme....and WRONG. It is racist, cruel, and full of HATE...That's what u are peaching. Go away you hater, that is what they teach u at church?

  • "Thou shalt save alive nothing that breathest. But thou shalt utterly destroy them..." (Deut 20)

    "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me." (Luke 19.27)

    Hmmm, sounds like terror to me, don't you think???

  • That's a fragment from a parable for crying out loud! You know the little stories Jesus told as an example for something relating to God. Geesh., I guarantee you that you will not find a single direct mandate to kill in the whole new Testament.

  • Before u speak, u should make sure about what u say...I will give you some examples..

    "Thou shalt save alive nothing that breathest. But thou shalt utterly destroy them..." (Deut 20)

    "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me." (Luke 19.27)

    There are many, many more u can find, but no space. It is OK to kill when there is injustice been done and corruption in the land. And as mentioned in the Bible to destroy Paganism.

  • Again the Luke Reference is a fragment from the Parable of the Nobleman and the servants and it runs from Luke 19:12 to Luke 19:27 Deutoronomy is not part of the new Testament but the Old one, so you see you haven't proven a thing other than being an idiot, since I made very clear that you will not find anty mandate to kill in the New Testament.. But off course Islamists and Libtards all they do is ignore facts and you being a Islamist is precisely what you are doing...

  • Aparently you seem to follow half of the Bible and half try to avoid it...Pretty mature...And hypocrate by the way.

    I could care much that you hate Muslims, people like you open other's mind to find the truth...Keep up your good work. I'll keep doing mine.

  • Christians do not avoid the old testament but what we follow are first and foremost the Gospels in case you didn't know. And you are a fool, the man in the video reciting Poetry he is himself a Muslim and I think he rocks... The Fundies however suck...

  • Jesus did not came to destoy the old law. So how can you believe the half of it. And why holding full bible in your hand. Is better you half it.

  • Words are clear, and you need to read the whole thing to understand it. Next time write Sura 9 as a whole. It refers to resist the pagansof Mecca who refuse them to enter to Mecca, and to enter in peace as much as possible. Funny thing is at the end there was no opposition and they entered in peace and all Meccans became monotheist. U know, I speak for the billions of Muslims that we are against Terror, not for the hundreds who twisted the meaning of Islam to please their desires...

  • In a person is allowed to kill a person who causes terror, like the Army will do in the name of US and its people safety, dont u think it contradicts your statement...

    Open up your mind there are about 7 million muslims in US alone, and u are more likely to be killed by a fellow christian than a muslims. See the local news, u cannot find a muslim robbing, stealing or killing. See who is more peaceful then...

  • In Islam it is allowed to kill a person who cause terror and corruption, and mischief. The killing of inocent people is un-Islamic. I guess, the Army is not far behind with Islamic principals. That is the islamic point of view, whether people like it or not.

  • I've seen that fucked up arab t.v. they need to get that off the air.

  • wow great poem.. reminds me to have patience with all things

  • What a brilliant poem. I feel sorry for the ignorant people who can't understand this poem. This poem truly speaks my heart.

  • Why do I not see muslims in the streets rallying AGAINST terrorism?

  • because your media does boy show it

  • That is true...I will like to see more Muslims on TV showing the good stuff they can contribute...Unfortunately, channels avoid such, I winder why?

  • Great work

    Keep it up.

    We love you Rafey.

  • good...tell those terrorist to stop bombing innocent and disgracing their own religion in the world!

  • This poem is absolutely brilliant; thank you for helping dispel the ignorant stereotypes of Islam which are based on Qur'anic comments utterly torn from their contexts.

  • Honestly you folks here seem quite nice, you should really not support Sura 47, verse 4.

    How many of you have tried to poke a stick at it another way and make another explanation as to what it means?

    I know most of you (statistically) were introduced to Islam by your parents, and you had probably decided you were muslim before you fully understood it, and you are probably gonna tell me im an idiot. Thats ok, i'll take it with a grain of salt, and turn my other slappable cheek have fun playaz

  • "When ye encounter infidels, strike off their heads till ye have a great slaughter among them, and of the rest make fast the fetters."

    Sura 47, Verse 4.

    And who are these infidels?

    Definition: in·fi·del

    a: an unbeliever with respect to a particular religion b : one who acknowledges no religious belief

    I know and Im sure many muslim believers are not raving lunatics, but the Kuran Qu'ran or Koran (I've seen it spelt so many ways) tells you to be. and now you soughta have to .. talk crap.

  • Wow seriously do you really think you can trick us Satan....we are peaceful submitters to God. I reject you satan and your decieving ways. Flee away from here by the power of God. Satan you decieve others that do not know Islam by lying to the infidels and twisting the words of God. I say it again Satan (MsUnreliable) flee from here. You truly are unreliable

  • I don't deny what it says, but do I have to quote the violence in the Bible? I give you sometime to respond

  • To the owners of sound mind

    Sign of the expulsion of all the religions of your heart

    And look at the three monotheistic religions

    Islam and Christianity and Judaism

    Will not accept sense But Islam

  • good! i am muslim and im against terrorism

    if people like osama bin laden are true they are not true muslims they are kaffirs and hyproctires they arent even muslims they are satanists

  • Yup ! Beutiful.

    Bombers killed many people praying in the Mosques in my country.

    Thank you for posting this poem.

  • American solders are terrorists! not muslims. In the Kuran is nothing to find for terrorisem. Terror is NOT Islam. STOP TERROR AMERICA!! KILL WIFS and CHILDRENS stop american solders !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • that's awesome!!

  • Mashallah!

    The pure and worty, are the true warior's.

    May Allah Bless the rains, and bring light into the hearts of the corrupt.

    Allah hafiz <3

  • can anyone get me the written version of this?

  • Over the past few years, there has been a growing tendency to dub Muslims as terrorists. And leading from the front in this blame game is none other than the superpower, the United States. It is extremely sad that such a tolerant and loving community is being dubbed as behind the terror outfits.

  • beautiful poem

    mashallah<3

  • G-d bless this man. Thank you Chris. Awesome video and powerful words.

  • Fantastic poem. Very moving. I wish I was aware of more devout Muslims who are not only for peace and love but also against terrorism. I wish both that there were more Muslims speaking out against those that use their religion in the service of hatred and that we in the US made an effort to listen to the ones that currently are doing so. Perhaps Dr. Rafey or someone else could point some of these people out to me because I, like many Americans, am ignorant when it comes to this branch of Islam.

  • god bless you, very touching, eager to hear more. selam

  • MASHAALLAH!!!!!!!!!

    Wonderful Poem ..spoken from heart...honestly made me cry!

    Thank you!!!

  • Thank you for your kind comments.

  • im not muslim but i agree with you the suicide bombers do not speak for islam only blood shed and war. why they do it any way i thought suiced was a sin.

  • it is, in islam killing one's self is blaspheme

  • These people, lost a whole family in Israeli attacks. They have no one and have nothing. Like humans, they yearn for revenge.

    All these actions however are not taught in Islam. Its an action driven by despair and desperation.

  • Dear Lieberat: yes, you are right. Please see my poem entitled "A Prayer for Gaza." Yours, Rafey Habib.

  • Useful books: Michael Cook, The Koran" A Very Short Introduction; Sohaib Sultan, The Koran for Dummies;

    Useful translations: The Gloriuos Qur'an by Abdullah Yousuf Ali; The Qur'an by M.A.S. Abdel Haleem.

    Peace be to you, brother, from Rafey.

  • Hello Dr. Rafey, thank you for your polite response.

    It would be an unfortunate thing to read about Islam from Western writers. You want to learn true Islam, you read original scholars, i.e. Ibn Katheer, Al Tabary, Al Qortoby...etc.

    You sound like a well educated person and open to dialogue, how about a video dialogue between you and I and the topic "Is Islam a religion of Peace?" feel free to accept or decline, we can have this dialogue with videos, text, or email. You choose.

    Peace and GBU

  • Dear Islam4noone: you are welcome to e-mail me any questions and I will be happy to try to answer them. It sounds like you know something about Islam already, so you may need to address your questions to scholars of Islam (I am a Professor of English). The best thing, however, would be to read the two translations of the Qur'an I have already cited. Peace, Rafey.

  • Dear Islam4noone: conventionally, the Qur'an has been interpreted by the authority of (1) sunnah, or the example of the Prophet (S); (2) 'ijma, or the consensus of scholars, and (3) ijtihad, or independent reasoning (within certain guidelines). Continued in next box.

  • Hello Dr. Rafey,

    Peace and greetings of our Lord Jesus Christ

    I enjoyed your poem and do sincerely wish that it really depicted a true interpretation of Islam. I'll get to my question right away.

    Who gets to interpret Quran, is it anyone who wishes to do so or do you go back to original orthodox scholars? If your view expressd here does really come from original scholars (not modern day), plz refer me to some names. I am eager to learn.

  • islam4noone : why is ur name Islam4no one< ur very name implies u are anti islamic.. INdeed it would take an anti islamic viewed person (who is obviously seeking an opportunity to push his sgenda) to question the intentions of such a beutiful poem...

  • well done. thank you and may god bless you.

  • We all need to stop taking our orders from fevered egos and warmongers, that call themselves "leaders". Well said sir.

  • Yes, you are right; thank you. RH.

  • Very beutiful, thank you

  • Thank you for your kind comment.

  • Muslims are made to feel that they have to condemn terrorism. Otherwise, its assumed, that somehow they condone it, which is a ridiculous premise, considering the minute percentage of Muslims which allegedly carry out these attacks.

    Of-course Muslims condemn violence as do the majority of all human beings, but by the same token ALL violence should be condemned.

  • Dear Jakesteel1, thank you for your thoughtful comments, many of which are poignant and pertinent. However, I think you are mistaken in thinking that my poem somehow one-sidedly serves the agenda of those who condone state terrorism; I suggest you read the second half of the poem more carefully. Yours, Rafey Habib.

    ______________________________­____________

  • In the mainstream media, acts of suicide terrorism are treated as though there is no greater horror, yet when an organized military invades a country killing thousands of innocent people, there is hardly any condemnation at all.

    In short, the poem by Dr. Habib does nothing more than to serve the agenda of those who ignore violence as a whole and only decry or vilify certain acts, specifically those acts committed by Muslims.

  • Let me leave you with this:

    Noam Chomsky, professor at MIT, also argues that "Washington is the center of global state terrorism and has been for years." Chomsky has characterized the tactics used by agents of the U.S. government and their proxies in their execution of U.S. foreign policy as a form of terrorism and has also described the U.S as "a leading terrorist state."

    Arno Mayer, Emeritus Professor of History at Princeton University, has stated that "since

  • 1947 America has been the chief and pioneering perpetrator of 'preemptive' state terror, exclusively in the Third World and therefore widely dissembled.

    Richard Falk, Professor Emeritus of International Law and Practice at Princeton, has argued that the U.S. and other first-world states, as well as mainstream mass media institutions, have obfuscated the true character and scope of terrorism, promulgating a one-sided view from the standpoint of first-world privilege. He has said that

  • if 'terrorism' as a term of moral and legal opprobrium is to be used at all, then it should apply to violence deliberately targeting civilians, whether committed by state actors or their non-state enemies.[9][10]

    Pape's Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism (2005) controverts many widely held beliefs about suicide terrorism. Based on an analysis of every known case of suicide terrorism from 1980 to 2005 (315 attacks as part of 18 campaigns), he concludes

  • that there is "little connection between suicide terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism, or any one of the worlds religions... . Rather, what nearly all suicide terrorist attacks have in common is a specific secular and strategic goal: to compel modern democracies to withdraw military forces from territory that the terrorists consider to be their homeland" (p. 4). "The taproot of suicide terrorism is nationalism," he argues; it is "an extreme strategy for national liberation" (pp. 79-80).

  • That was powerful. Thouse words touched me deeply. I shed tears listening to that poem because i feel so strongly on this issue. Thank you for posting this. I dont even know what to say...im just so emotionally overwelmed with pride and strength after watching that video. thank you for making me feel not invisible.

  • Dear bijouxmiu,

    Thank you for your very kind and humane comment. May God always bless you and all of your good works. Rafey.

  • THANK YOU DOCTOR!! More Muslims must speak out if they do not want their religion to be associated with murder and violence. Anger and bombings will not bring peace, the Palestinians MUST stop supporting terrorism if they hope for a state.

  • Muslims don't have to clarify JACK SHIT to anyone fuckhead! It's your precious western civilization built upon war mongering, occupation and depriving other people of their inherent right to live freely, that has to explain its "association with murder and violence". Palestinians in the meantime will continue their legitimate RESISTANCE by EVERY means necessary until SHITZRAEL realizes that "peace" will not be achieved by occupying and killing a virtually defenseless people for over 60 years!

  • Dear brother Ludhar1, I urge you not to lose your temper. I too am appalled by the murder and destruction occurring in Gaza. But we must make our case in a courteous, polite and peaceful manner, motivated by the highest moral aims, informed by accurate knowledge and conducted at the highest intellectual level. Let the world see that this is what you stand for: it is these qualities that will prevail over all the evils you are witnessing today. Yours, Rafey Habib.

  • Dear Perryellis13,

    Thank you for your comment. Rafey.

  • From Israel to Iraq "suicide bombings" occur as a sad and unfortunate response to occupation and far greater acts of collective violence perpetrated by Israel/U.S etc...since your poem is addressing a "suicide bomber", perhaps it would develop better in it's correct context, instead of beginning with the assumption that "suicide bombers" are inspired by their misinterpretation of Islam. Just food for thought :) Khuda Hafiz.

  • Even people with brains in the western world know that the true motivations of "suicide bombers" are not Islam!

  • Dear Dr. Habib, just wondering if you could write/recite an equally beautiful poem exposing the REAL motivations of "suicide bombers" i.e house domilitions,forced migration,arbitrary arrest/torture,land confiscation,political assasinations,blockades,daily humiliation violence etc...instead of the propagandaistic ones like Islam, Allah etc..thanks!

  • Thank you for your comments. I do understand what you are saying; and you are right in observing that my poem overlooks the circumstances you mention; since the poem addresses many audiences simultaneously, it is difficult to find an appropriate balance of perspectives; but I'll think more on this. From: Rafey Habib.

  • Ludhar1 their is no excuse for murder! If they really want house demolitions forced migrations etc. to stop they must stop giving their money to terrorists such as Hamas and instead use it for schools, hospitals and infrastructure. The western world has absolutely nothing to gain from taking action against people who are peacefull, and it is foolish to think otherwise. The suicide bombers are not accomplishing anything.

  • ''he western world has absolutely nothing to gain from taking action against people who are peacefull'' The USA government has lots to gain by expanding its sphere of control and weapons budget through new defense programs facilitated by increased 'threats', just something to think about.

    peace brother

  • Great poem.

  • This gentlemen I am told played one of my videos in his classroom. I was honored then, but after hearing this amazing poem, I am even MORE honored. Thank you very much Doctor, and may Allah swt guide all of humanity together in a peaceful way. Salamu Alaykum to everyone(Peace be with you all).

  • Everyone the World Over should hear this Lovely Poem. When I first heard it, tears ran down my face. I am not a Muslim, but an American who cares about "All People" of our very Fragile World. Dr. Habib speaks with Brilliant Truth and Clarity. I hope finally, more Muslims may stand up, finally take a stand and put an end to this Violence. In the end, we are all in this together. It is Our World to share and live peacefully together in. Bless him forever more.

  • "Just a note of heartfelt thanks for all of your very kind comments. It is heartening to know that there are so many good people out there who are also eager to spread tolerance and understanding. Thank you. Rafey."

  • We watched this in my class( with dr. memon) and te class was speechless. this is truly an amazing poem!

  • Mr. Habib, you are truly a brilliant man.

  • ***Dr***

  • Rafey is my cousin; May Allah (swt) continue to bless him and Chris, and all those who are part of this effort; Ameen.
