Keep The Faith

I think these words ring true and hold testament in paraphrasing what Allah said in Suratu Luq-man verse 34:

"Verily, Allah! With Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things.)

Faith

The world is filled with despair

there is pain and suffering everywhere, 

the cost of living is always going higher 

and the poor are always getting poorer. 

There are wars the world over, 

Mankind are fighting each other, 

which race is superior, 

which knowledge is better

We are out seeking better ways 

to kill each other, 

to harm one another, 

to wipe out everything, 

that means anything. 

We have given up our freedom, 

Handed over our voice 

to the big men with shallow characters

and throwaway morality

We have allowed -

the voiceless to be silenced, 

the poor to be improvished 

the hungry to be famished

the souls to be polluted

Somewhere in all of this 

we need to:

 find hope, 

stop cursing the darkness 

provide some light

we need to find our faith in the unseen.
