A tribute to you, my brother
The dunya remains covered in despair and darkness
And many an eye sheds tears at the heartache and sadness
Yet forgetting their true purpose are Muslims from every land
While you, my brother, have taken a dignified stand
With each failure the enemy’s attacks change and evolve
But their desperation only serves to strengthen your resolve
They gather about you, seeking to cause doubt and arouse suspicion
For all their efforts, Allah willing, they will never destroy your noble mission
In a time when many are content solely with idle chatter and worldly gain
You have shunned such things, concerning yourself with your Ummah’s pain
The obstacles on the path you have chosen are like huge rocks and boulders
And the weight and responsibility of the dawah rests heavy on your shoulders
Though the task is mighty and at times you feel weak and helpless
When all conspires against you and you are overcome by distress
Remember your Prophet in the cave, and the footsteps that As-Sideeq heard
“What do you think, O Abu Bakr, about two when Allah is their third?”
So lift your spirits dear brother and move forward, with renewed hope in your heart
Put your trust in your Rabb, do not waiver for you too must play your part
As we usher in this Ramadan, the month of blessings and glory
Hasten your steps to a victory promised, for history one day will recount your story
When you fast by day and stand for prayer at night
Do not forget your brothers, like you, engaged in this fight
For all their hardships, they stand with you and share your vision, your dreams
By no means are you alone, surely yours is the noblest of teams
Forsake them not but remember them when you make your supplications
When you call out to your Lord with the best of invocations
He is the Al-Mighty, the Rabb of the A’lameen, men and jinn
Ar-Raheem, the Most Merciful, forgiver of sin
My brother, may He forgive your shortcomings this Ramadan and grant you every success
May He make you and me worthy of His victory, indeed I ask for no less
I pray He lightens your task for you and strengthens your iman
Makes firm your foothold, rewards you for all you have done
You are an inspiration for me, and for the sake of Allah I love you
Remain steadfast on this way; continue to do what you do
You are a flame burning bright, at a time when all hope seems lost
Illuminating the way for your Ummah, not caring for the great personal cost
Truly the goal is near, the Khilafah Rashidah for which you earnestly yearn
For long you have spilt blood and shed tears making it your concern
Now, by the leave of Allah, each passing day signals the coming of a new world
The shade of Allah, a cause to rejoice, bringing joy and peace and tranquillity untold
