THE STATE OF THE MUSLIM UMMAH

By Abu 'Aqeel Muhammad Ibn Shafeeq

When we look around the world, and see the Muslim Ummah in it's current state,
A worry and concern in our hearts, it should at least create.

In so many countries, Muslims are being oppressed,
But we spend our daily life, without being distressed.

Their lives and homes are in such a turmoil and mess,
But we never spare a minute for them, to worry & stress

They don't have a house or a shelter over their heads,
But we don't really care, as we lie in our comfortable beds.

So many men, women and children the kuffaar are killing,
But we don't care, cos we are too busy chilling.

So many are living without anything to eat or drink,
But when we're eating, about them we never think.

Many have no clothes, so they walk around bare,
But we're not bothered, cos we have wardrobes full of stuff to wear.

So many of our Sisters and Mothers are being raped & dishonoured,
But we don't get affected, cos we aint even bothered.

Surely about the State of the Muslim Ummah, we have to start to think and care,
Then we will be prepared to do our share.

Think about the oppression of the Muslims in the Holy Land of Filisteen,
Then in order to assist them, we will be more then keen

Think of what's happening in Afghanistan,
Then we'll be willing to help in anyway we can.

Think about the state of the Muslims and the Occupation in ‘Iraq,
Then surely we will be worried and taken aback.

Think of the Muslims in Shishaan,
Then we will be willing to lend a hand.

Think of the genocides of the Muslims in the Gujaraat City,
Then for them we'll have more then just sorrow and sympathy.

Think of what's happening in the Kashmir state,
Then to start helping them, we will not wait.

Think of the Brothers that are unjustly and inhumanly locked up in Belmarsh Prison and in Guantanamo Bay,
Then we will do du’aa and make effort for them to get released, every single day.

There's so many things we can do to help the Muslim Ummah,
But the least we should do, is ask Allaah (SWT) and make du'aa.

Remember, that like one body is the example of the Muslim Brotherhood,
Which is why the Prophet (SAW) and the Sahaabah (RA), helped each other in anyway they could.

But do we as Muslims really care,
And do we really try to do our share???
