I Am A Muslim But Only By Name.

:salam2: A dear freind of mine send me this poem.


I Am A Muslim But Only By Name.

I am a Muslim but only by name

When it comes to practicing what a shame!

I go to friends and relatives in suit and tie

It's all right if I occasionally lie.


Yes I practice but when it suits me

Or more to the point, when it pleases the society.

If I show my ankles, they'll point and laugh

They'll think it's too short and reckon I'm daft.

If I trim my moustache and grow the beard

They'll reckon I'm a fanatic or something weird.

If I wear the Sunnah I'll get great reward

But the Kuffar will look down on me, that I can't afford.

Yes I'm a Muslim but only by name.

I make excuses, which I admit are rather lame.

Yes I'm a sane man and I'm on the right track

Who am I kidding, I feel like a right jack.

To hide my inferiority complex I protest it's unimportant

Though my heart screams to tell me I'm a blatant fraudulent.

The best thing is no-one can hear what's going on inside

People think I've got it made and with my life I'm satisfied.

But I'm afraid this is a fable and it's a pure deception

I have no peace of mind but this daren't even mention.

If I remain ignoring it's O.K. ¡cos then I don't have to practice

Yes I am conniving and these are baseless evil tactics.

But I read the Kalimah and I think I have Imaan


I can¢t help my attitude I was placed in a Kufrastaan.

Yes I¢m a Muslim but only by name

And with my precious life I'm playing a foolish disastrous game!
