Obligations we owe the Quran

Five things that the Qur'an demands from every Muslim are as follows:

The Muslim is required to believe in the Qur'an,
He is required to read it,
He is required to understand it,
He is required to act upon its teachings, and
He is required to convey its teachings to others.

Poem:What makes a Caliph cry?

Oh you ,who have been blessed by

The Lord,The Provider,The Most High!

Oh you who have it all,

Yet you don't give thanks at all.

Fruits and fancy foods don't satisfy

You.

Know,that Cliphs cry

To thank their Lord for their provision.

They were commanders of a mighty nayion.

Oh you who have plenty,

Think of him,

He who said

"Did Allah make this for me?"



Here poeple play with gold,

There they starve and shiver in the cold.

Here plates full of food are thrown,

but there where the grain is grown..

What can we say?

Know that a Caliph did cry for the dog that did die

On the other corner of the Caliphate.

Oh you who rule the Muslim stae,

Think of him.

He who did say

"On that day

When the mule complains.."



Will our ways be starightened?

And our hearts become whole?

Will faith be revived once more?

Will customs be combatted wit Prophetic traditions?

Will we obliterate all superstitions?

Will women in our villages see the end of tyrrany?

Will modesty come back to the Muslim city?

Indeed we will mourn and greive

Until we learn to cry again.

Poem:Wings of the Faithful


There is love,
And there is joy from this love.
There is hope,
And there is satisfaction from this hope.
There is fear,
And there is discipline from this fear.
The wing of hope
And the wing of fear,
Move together to bring us near
To Him,The One and Only True God.
For He is so Dear
And Love made Him so
(dear to us).


Poem:The Examination Has Ended!



The examination has ended!

Your papers surrendered.



You have been rendered



Strong or weak,



Depending upon the strength of your beleif.



The time is up!



It will no longer be extended!



Oh you who were given a choice and tested,



How did you fare in this most important of tests?



It is only on Allah's judgement that your fate rests!



He is the judge.Bribes he does not receive.



He is the One you can never deceive!



For fraud works in this world but not on the Day of Return!



Did you submit or did you scorn?



Will you celebrate or will you mourn?



Did you praise Him and did you Glorify?



For His sake the deen did you purify?



Will you have victory or will you have doom?



Will you have honour or will you have shame?



Will you succeed or will you fail?



You record will reveal what tale?



What story will it say?



Is it salvation or is it dreadful dismay?



On that day your actions and intentions'll count?



Were you on the right track?



Or will your efforts amount to nothing?



Will you gain or lose everything?



Everything...Everything?



On that day many actions will be in vain!



Many a deed blown away like a grain



Of dust in the desert.



Gone,gone,gone with the wind!



Oh you who are in this world,



Living and breathing,



Hurry!The clock is ticking!



Repent and do something!



Who knows when your examiation ends?
