War on Error
What if I told you there were soldiers outside who despised who you and I,
Ready to take us dead or alive, with guns pointed at your pride,
And you had the option to just lie and denounce what you hold inside,
Would you go run and hide, or would you get ready to die,
See the problem with you and I, is we would say anything to stay alive
Multiplied by the drive that we have to survive
Most would rather compromise, than be chastised
So we don't even try, but I dare to ask why
Homeland security, is only trying to secure me
In these tiny little rooms, where I could barely breathe
Maybe it's the way that I'm dressed in the land of the free
No khamis, I should have just wore jeans and a T
And I know it's hard to believe, but I aint a refugee,
Actually, I was born in a hospital right down the street
So tell me what's the beef; is it the beard or attire?
Or is it my last name; you could just call me Michael
Are you comfortable, am I moderate enough for your liking
I don't wanna any trouble, I'll be good, man I promise
I'm honest, only liars need to preach to a choir
Holding onto this deen is like holding onto fire,
But I still smile, aint sure if this is still worth your while
You say you wanna believe than you will be put on trial
Tested, but blessed are those who remain steadfast and pray
Because what are we but slaves, just looking for a raise
Anyways, everyday's another chance at being saved
Cause even a broken clock is right two times a day
But I'd be lying if I didn't say,
We look like lions without manes
Trying to impress these creatures who just came from mud and clay
Why don't you beautify your grave, Iqra, proclaim
Who will testify for you when your Lord calls your name?
Work for your spot in the shade on the day when their will only be his shade
The things you love today, they will all fade away
Remember the story of the cave, even though they were afraid
The youth knew the truth so they still remained brave
The same goes today, cause even rain goes away
And after the clouds the sun comes out to play
So expect brighter days, and declare all praise
To the one with no son, in need of no aid
Isn't it strange how the strangers are starting to feel strange?
I guess sometimes Guantanamo bay is just the price you gotta pay,
Allah does not place a burden on a soul more than it can handle
And the bruises from sujood will light your way just like a candle
And we follow the example of the best of examples
I don't stand for flags and or bow to your bourgeois
I pledge allegiance to La elhalla il allah
Say it now, Say it loud, be proud of your Muslim names
Uthman, Umar, Ali, Khadija, Aisha, Summayah
If only you knew the sacrifice these people made
So tell airport security, I'm sorry if we all look the same
But there's a reason why Muhammed is the world's most popular name
And you can call us funny names, and draw cartoons in his name
But there will come a day when your Lord will decide who goes and who stays
So go ahead and tease, after hardship comes ease,
And gardens with rivers that flow underneath
This poem is for every hijabie who got made fun of in school
Or the brothers too scared to rock a beard, cause facial hair isn't cool
If Allah didn't love you, then he wouldn't test you
So prepare for victory, coming to a soul near you

@thesubmittedone lolzzz mm god created us out clay according to the bible.. and the bible sasy jesus has beenthere since the begining... and there was no intercourse between God and Mary

[SuperRevolver1]

"the things you love today will all fade away"

[thesubmittedone]

@tessh3000 He was not produced, nor does He reproduce. You are ascribing to Him qualities of His creation, and far above is He than what you describe. May God guide you my friend, and may you keep an open mind.

[thesubmittedone]

@tessh3000 Every time we do wrong, we either pay its consequence in this world or the next, or we are forgiven by God after true repentance. Your claim that the only price for sin is death is extreme. Animal sacrifice was only one way to atone for sins. Furthermore, not all sins are equal. You must go to extremes, unfortunately, to justify your belief that God simply can't forgive without having His supposed son murdered. God is THE COMPASSIONATE.

[tessh3000]

@tessh3000 back in the day only those who were the high priests were allowed to enter in gods presence because he anoointed them and they to be purified and before they were high priests they had to sacrifice something an animal..no humanswere sacrificied because no human was flawless until jesus that is ...well anyways we are goin to go back and forth may god guide you always =]

[tessh3000]

@thesubmittedone Well anyways the discussion is not goin to go anywhere lolz.... but if god is JUSt and a Judge someone has to take the price for the sin..a judge would give me some jail time for breaking a law.....and since all people have brok gods law something or that person had to take that price...

4:50 listen from there till the end

!!!!!!!!

[AnilRaoufi]

nice brother ive seen you in leeds ,london and bradford when you were with shykh navid and baba ali i really like your poems "im sorry if we all lok tha same" LOL

[thesubmittedone]

@tessh3000 Exactly... it was currency. The meat of animals is and was always to nourish and sustain us. When it came to the expiation of sins, it was a means of providing charity, and thus, you benefit the society you harmed when committing your sin by providing nourishment to it, especially it's weakest members. Just reflect for a moment and think about why was it always animals that were sacrificed? Why was their meat always eaten? There was never such a thing as human sacrifice, period.

[tessh3000]

@tessh3000 from what i read th purpose was to give cleanlines and for certain sins people where told to give certain types of animals because not all animals were pure to the lord, it wasnt just a feeding thing, to christians jesus was the pure perfect sacrifice ....sorry ran out of space lol
