To the Muslims of the Twenty-First Century: by Dr. Rafey Habib

[rehan376]

Muslims contributed nothin in this 21st century for the mankind... Frm roadways to vehicles... Frm submarine to space ships ..Frm radio to satellite ...Frm medicine to major vaccine Frm Telephone to Internet...Frm typewriter to Computer...This is all the great innovation of West ... Whome these Mulvi and Jahil curse.. And shamefully use all their product for basic need.. Pathetic

[MsThemuh]

@rehan376 Muslims invented algebra and math in the path. Cough cough with out them the west would be in the middle ages.

[shivrajvishnu]

Stop following the criminal Mohammad and his unholy book Koran, everything will be alright only after that.

[khayser200]

@shivrajvishnu Have you read the Quran? have you read The so called 'Criminals' Biography?...No yeah thats what i thought, now go plug yourself back into those Hate Groups and Hate channels You get your info from.....

''seek the true dawn of islam that we didnot find'' beautiful!

[tchaikovsky1979]

I love you

[Adnowwwwn]

Amazing poem.

I think elders are afraid to tell the youth what you are telling them in this poem.

Our problems don't end with Israel or the US. If we miraculously defeated these two forces our world would still be riddled with corruption, slavery, ignorance and war.

The change must come from within, taking lessons from our rich history to solve our problems today. We should resort to the fundamentals of our great religion, starting from the Qur'an.

There should be a Muslim Renaissance.

[mhabib3]

@Adnowwwwn Thank you for your very balanced response.

[mhabib3]

@MrChickybee1 That has nothing to do with Islam, only the abuse of it by people who are uninformed and motivated by political reasons. Your own foul and semi-literate language says nothing about Islam but only about the kind of person you are.

[linmgo]

"flex their pens"

[linmgo]

Dr. Habib rejects a prophet of Allah... Hazrat Ahmad AS who died 120+years ago. It is no wonder the ummah is in its condition......they are upon the path of jahil. The messiah warned the people to give up their swords and flew their pens.....unfortunate are those that have disobeyed this.

[StopTheElite]

@linmgo last prophet was s.a.w Mohammed (pbuh) .Its written in quran clearly so all muslims should know that prophet muhammad is the last prophet and the muslim who say that it isnt true then they are on the path of jahil.Hazrat Ahamad was a great personality but he wasnt a prophet ..

[therashidarahman]

Very inspiring words... I'm glad I came across your videos, they motivate me to be a better Muslim and better myself as a person. I've always felt slightly guilty for questioning what I'm taught of religion and my culture... Even if I wanted to, I find it hard to accept everything at face value and conform merely to please my elders. I am a truth seeker and this poem inspires me to continue to follow my instincts instead of doing what people tell me I 'should'. Thankyou.

[RobertLowellPoetry]

Although I have not visited the Middle East, I have been favorably impressed with every Arab person that I have met.

[muslimgiga]

[mhabib3]

[Mu7ammadHilal]

It was of great help, thanks Dr. Habib ..

[ranel63]

You're so right brother! Beautiful poem!

[gubassan]

nier.

[69nuz69]

Agree with everything he said but.. How on earth is this poetry?! Sounds like a speach to me.. If he shouted it with a beard, he'd have the CIA on his case!

[anoriginalname397]

I don't know a lot about poems either, but there are a lot of poems which don't have rhymes and don't have a fixed number of stanzas etc. A poem is much more than just that.

[FreedomValentine]

@69nuz69 A poem is basically an oral tradition, a story that is expressed with more obvious emotion and moulded by rhythm and meter. You don't seem to have read much poetry. 

[ReligionOfSacrifice]

Islam never was an example of love, peace, tolerance, & non-violence. Islam took into France, Spain, northern Africa, Turkey, Pakistan, Jerusalem, & Mecca all prior to 100 yrs after Muhammed's death & all by the sword that Muhammed began while alive.

Rev. 13:10

This man's only message is fully support those Muslims in Palestine who train their 3 yr old children to call Jews dogs & pigs. They bring out dead children to be their only method of politically sanctioning their awful behavior.

[TimTimKitty00]

Islam should have been the example of love, peace, tolerance and non-violence.

He this gentle man is so right.

Pls. do not kill women and children in the name of your GOD.

Praise be to GOD who must look down to acts of terror on his creation.

Ensha-ALLAH all GOD fearing humans stand for justice for all man kind.

There were GOD fearing people before Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, Solomon, and prophet Mohamad (PBU, THEM ALL) etc....

There are good people every where on earth as there are bad

[SilentPete720]

sweet, my name is rafaye too.

"Muslims of the future, beautiful

Dark-eyed men and women, be beautiful

In your words and deeds,

In your clothes and manners, beautiful

In intelligence and love:

Awake from the past centuries slumber!"

[mara235]

Lovely poem - I am, what those who follow Islam, Christianity or Judaism would call an Infidel, but I believe in God, Peace and Truth, the paths to Those are many, yet the end is the same.

[owlofathene]

Well-said, my friend. Peace be to you.

[ranel63]

@mara235 Ur not an infidel. God bless u.

[tosikuai]

To you be your own new lifestyles.

Alhumdulliah by pondering over the teachings of Islam, we know its the Truth one of the reason is that it matches exactly with the human nature.

We shall never worship that whcih ya worship

May Allah be exactled and glorfied over that which ya associate with Him.

[jandor13]

So many good points, hopefully more will listen.

[includao]

amazing!!!

[shoryian09]

Beautiful poem, I forwarded to all my sisters in hopes of giving them inspiration to continue in the path of righteousness. Thank you so much for posting this poem, you words have left an imprint on me.

[diggersstory]

Goodness, Dr Habib, this is wonderful and needs to go viral > world wide. Thumbs up to a most talented creative hero. Truly your work needs to be remixed and mashedUP and passed around. I must I must do what I can.

[AzureSapphirexxx]

'Seek your own path;

Seek the true dawn of Islam, which

We did not find.

Seek the true Light of the One God.'

as a young person, i feel your poem is exactly what i feel but was unsure how to voice- but yu are compleltey right.

may God guide us allon the right path.

once again, thank you- this is one piece of writing i definitely intend to save.

[mhabib3]

Thank you for your kind comments. From: Rafey.

[amirahas]

Assalamu alaikum, brother.

As a Muslim, as an Arab, as a Palestinian, as a student, as a young person, as a human being...I thank you for your poem. :)

We must not linger hopelessly on the what-ifs but move forward to what can and should be. And it all begins with God, who still commands us, Iqra.

[mhabib3]

Thank you, brother. From Rafey.

[Clayzflute]

Thank you~*

[egoriskarma]

Your poem is beautiful. I am a Buddhist in the West, that is always looking to the East of the present and the past to help me understand my culture even more. Yet, there is no better time to do these things that you could've done in the now. Right now. The Dalai Lama is 80, and he just keeps on going with so much joy. If he can have joy after loosing so much in his lifetime than so can I. Peace.
