I have embarked on a journey.

[salahdin]

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ




I have embarked on a journey.




Leaving behind all TV’s, mp3’s, wii’s, oh please,

For this journey will make all that freeze, and truly, it is my mind it frees,

A journey that precedes that of the high seas,

A journey that decrees and spreads like disease,

A journey that needs no introduction nor explanation

A journey that is not the new, rather timeless, sensation

a letter. a word. a sentence.
the better. the world. the repentance.

It’s just this little thing that I like to call “IQRA”

A step forward linking back to the fitrah

Clearing the mind of confusion and fitnah

A returning to the revelation written with the-

pen, that only One can send

I open pages of stories,
That may just bore thee,

But truly and surely,

I’ve acted too poorly,

And now,

I will open the books of the knowledge and more

I will open the minds of the scholars, explore

I will open the door to the soul of my core

I will READ
until my eyes are too sore

until my guise is no more

until I cry only for

Rabbi, my only Lord

I will turn the pages until I see faces

I will skim sentences until I find traces

Of ‘ilm gushing like water in an oasis

So please join me as I explore these new places.

IQRA – it was the first command,
and now I will obey this.Jawaad Ahmad Khan
