Being a Muslim means to always smile, no matter how difficult life gets, for it will last a while
It means greeting people of all ethnicities and races, with a salutation of peace, smiling at all faces
It means helping the elderly, and the one in need, and to give in charity, not to be overcome by greed
It means, to desire perfection, in piety and gratitude. Always be humble and not have an attitude
It means to obey your parents, not to raise your voice in their sight, and to walk away if someone wants to fight
So am I a Muslim by action, or a Muslim by name, the first is a believer and the other is a shame
I must never become arrogant, boastful, or proud, nor utter silly words, or speak loud
I must respect all Christians, regardless of their behavior, even though we say Jesus wasn't a savior
I can't transgress in the earth, I know right from wrong, so I better correct my past, I won't live too long
Before I'm 6 feet under, and taking nothing with me but my deeds, no more things to worry about, no more needs
As I face my Lord, did I really prepare for that day, from the way I lived my life, it seems I was astray'
So even as a Muslim, I will be punished for my sins if I fail, by going to hell, which ain't nothing like jail
So I'm not special for being a Muslim at all, if my actions are on the down fall
If people don't see Islam in my actions, then what do I have to propose, nothing good in my image, which people oppose
So I stand up in prayer, asking God to give me His light, to walk humbly on earth, and to make things right
God created us weak, and in distress, so we can always turn to Him when our life is a mess
God created us to worship Him, not that He is in need, nor will He ever be in need for us, for were only a seed
God taught us the way we should compose our life, to live in harmony and not cause strife
He taught us our purpose and gave us direction; He is tired of hearing everyone's objection
Thinking that we can develop better standards of living than our Lord, if you live life this way, you won't get a reward
So I better stop hurting people, God even counts a woman's tears, while many other people remain in fear
Fear of dying with no shelter, nor food, many more are depressed, in a delusional mood
So I must extend a helping hand to establish goodness to humanity, because too many people are living in insanity
If someone wrongs me, must I retaliate and fight, can I just forgive them, if I have the light
The light of Allah that He gives to whom He please, the only one who gets it are those who bow on their knees
To acknowledge to the creator, that you are indebted to His service, to not get caught up in life, always feeling nervous
The world wasn't made just for me, we all have a share in its joys and sorrow, so let's focus on today, for nothings promised tomorrow
So a Muslim who preaches the message must resemble goodness and piety, and to acknowledge there is only one Deity
His name is Allah., He is the One and Only, if you don't worship Him, you will remain lonely
He is the One who brings life to what was dead, so calling on Him at night, while you lay in bed
And thank Him, o Muslims, for all of His gifts, for if you remain ungrateful, His punishment is swift.
God put us in this world to see how we react, but we failed many times, that's a fact
So pour out your heart to the one and Only Creator, don't live your life like a movie that's playing in the theatre.
Being a Muslim means being grateful for your health, nothing can replace it, not even all the wealth
It means to fear Allah, night and day, and to always reflect, one day you'll perish away
It means to pray qiyam il layl, out of love and desire, doing that for Allah will raise your iman much higher
It means to not even say one harsh word to your father and mother, to honor your sisters and even your brothers
It means to believe without doubt in the unseen, and to thank Allah for this glorious deen
It means to establish the prayer 5 times a day, the key to heaven, there's no other way
It means to spend from your wealth to those who live on the streets, who have no place to live, who are called dead beats
It means to honor all the prophets, and imitate their deeds, respect their accomplishments, and follow their lead
It means to excel in learning Islamic knowledge, for the sake of Allah, and to convey it with humility, for it belongs to Allah
We don't benefit Islam by being Muslims, but it is Islam that elevates the soul, it gives us our sense of purpose, our ultimate goal
It means to treat your neighbor with love, as if related to you by blood, for both of us came straight from mud
It means to honor women by lowering our gaze in their sight, and recite Dua in the middle of the night
It means to glorify Allah, and praise him year after year, and to always know His Judgment is near
It means to go to the Mosque, and thank God for the Nur He gave you, to keep begging Him to guide you and eventually save you
From the punishment of the fire, and the punishment of the grave, so keep walking with reflection or you won't be saved
Islam, what a beauty, what does it do to a person, it relieves him from stress, so he can stop cursing
Islam calls us to piety, to worship one deity, which would help us relieve our anxiety
Islam is a reward, not a punishment or pain, so read the Koran with reflection, or you'll be inhumane
Being a servant of God is the most precious role, it takes you out of darkness, nourishes your soul
What more can you ask for, than having contentment, but when you ignore God, you'll feel resentment
Should I oppress Jews and Christians and every other faith, does the Koran allow me to have such hate?
Does Islam allow me to cheat people from what's rightfully theirs, and if I steal, is that Islamically fair?
Does Islam order Muslims to convert people out of force, to know the answer, you must read it's source
It's called the Holy Koran, a book so divine, yet Most Non-Muslims never gave it any time
To examine its teachings, with an open mind and heart, but instead they attack it, and rip it apart
How can we blame them for their actions, when we failed at representing Gods religion, instead we criticize each other daily, were getting in divisions
So Muslims, we have to spark a fire of love that transcends, to every Non-Muslim, not just our friends
Islam is not just for Muslims, but for all races and faces on earth, if you never accept it, you'll never know what its worth
So I send you tidings of peace, and I will continue my mission, of spreading this glorious deen, which gave me a vision
I want to make a confession, before we have another recession, if we don't strive for God, He will implement another succession
A succession of new people who will die in jihad, and people who, when hear the Koran, are very glad
So exchange your tears for hope of a brighter tomorrow, because Islam doesn't guarantee there won't be sorrow
Allah didn't say heaven is easy to achieve, you have to be active, it's not enough to just believe
Did the prophets suffer, or did they escape the trials they faced, so if we follow in their footsteps, their struggles we must taste
So being a Muslim means to conquer the weakness in your soul, not to follow your passions, getting trapped in a bigger whole
It means to spend the last ten nights of Ramadan in prostration, to honor Allah with a koranic recitation
How much more time will we waste, before we leave this world of toil, and get punished in hell as it boils
So always ponder that today might be your last day, so fulfill your contract with Allah, or he will leave you astray
Muslims, please awaken, from this sleep you've been taken, and get serious with your lives, or else one day you'll be forsaken
It's better to live in the streets and having God on your side, so stop swerving in wrong directions, and start to abide
Abide to His laws, for Allah was always Kareem, just keep calling on Allah no matter how difficult life may seem
When you wake up on the Day of Judgment after been sleeping many years, you won't realize how long you've been asleep, for you'll be filled with tears
So if you're a Muslim, then don't damage mother earth, take care of her soil, for one day you'll return to her dirt
Enjoy helping people, and take the bitterness out of your heart, for if you intend to stay devious, it will tear you apart
So make friends, and establish justice in society, always preach to people that there is only one deity
