This is who I am. Who are u?

"I am a traveler seeking the truth, a human searching for the meaning of humanity and a citizen seeking dignity, freedom, stability and welfare under the shade of Islam. I am a free man who is aware of the purpose of his existence and who proclaims: “Truly, my prayer and my sacrifice, my living and my dying are all for Allah, the Lord of the worlds; no partner has He. This, am I commanded and I am of those who submit to His Will.” This is who I am. Who are you?"

(Hassan al-Banna)

AWAKEN -maher zain

We were given so many prizes
We changed the desert into oasis
We built buildings of different lengths and sizes
And we felt so very satisfied
We bought and bought
We couldn't stop buying
We gave charity to the poor 'cause
We couldn't stand their crying
We thought we paid our dues
But in fact
To ourselves we're just lying

Oh...I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I'm walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We were told what to buy and we'd bought
We went to London, Paris and
We made show we were seen in the most exlusive shops
Yes we felt so very satisfied

We felt our money gave us infinite power
We forgot to teach our children about history and honor
We didn't have any time to lose
When we were.. (were)
So busy feeling so satisfied

I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I'm walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

We became the visuals without a soul
despite the heat
Our homes felt so empty and cold
To fill the emptiness
We bought and bought
Maybe all the fancy cars
And bling will make us feel satisfied

My dear brother and sister
It's time to change inside
Open your eyes
Don't throw away what's right aside
Before the day comes
When there's nowhere to run and hide
Now ask yourself 'cause Allah's watching you

Is He satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?
Is Allah satisfied?

Oh..I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place
I'm walking with my head lowered from my race
Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west
When in fact all focus should be on ourselves

An-Nisa:83

Dan apabila datang kepada mereka sesuatu berita mengenai keamanan atau kecemasan, mereka terus menghebahkannya; padahal kalau mereka kembalikan sahaja hal itu kepada Rasulullah dan kepada - "Ulil-Amri" (orang-orang Yang berkuasa) di antara mereka, tentulah hal itu dapat diketahui oleh orang-orang Yang layak mengambil keputusan mengenainya di antara mereka; dan jika tidaklah kerana limpah kurnia Allah dan belas kasihanNya kepada kamu, tentulah kamu (terbabas) menurut Syaitan kecuali sedikit sahaja (iaitu orang-orang Yang teguh imannya dan Luas ilmunya di antara kamu).

An Nisa’: 83


Astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah =)
