MY RELIGION
Allah is my God
Mohamed is my Prophet
And Islam is my Religion
Islam comes from the word ‘Peace’
And we have always wanted peace
Never wanted war and blood shed.
We fought only when we had to;
To protect our religion and our families.
For so long,
Others have made false claims toward us
They called us terrorists and wrong doers
True, there are bad people,
Who stray away from their religion,
But that does not make us all the same!
In Islam,
Our belief is in Allah,
Who is One and Holy.
There is no other.
And we are created from mud.
In Islam, and our beloved Qur’an,
Many phenomena are explained,
All miracles are written,
All the Prophets’ stories are told,
And also the creation of man.
In Islam,
Allah has no father and no son
Allah is One, there is no other God
And we worship him alone!
This is Islam,
And it is my religion

Author notes
no matter what religion you are, i want your comments on my poem. Also if it you see it in the featured box/section please comment coz it costs points
You should not judge a whole faith by some people who do crazy and retarded stuff. I don't judge christians as a whole, I judge each one separately and for who they are!
This poem has received the Silver Trophy
I want to thank all who read and are reading my poem and those who applaud it as well.

Salaamu alaikum! I liked this; it needed to be said and you said it well. But there are few Muslim poets out there who are speaking up about the beauty of Islaam, and there is so much to say.
-
"we are created from mud"...a good starting point for all of us when we want to start judging other people and their points of view!
-
Very intruiging. I am quite glad that you wrote this and that so many people have commented on it. It is so very true that every religion has its bad people; mine included. I am a witch, a pagan. You can be sure there are a vast number of misconceptions and falsehoods about my religion, as well as a few bad apples. I feel we should all aproach each other and our respective religions with open minds and caring hearts; each religion also has its good people. You're quite right; we should definitely be looking at each individual and not basing our perceptions on a few angry, misguided, or hateful people. Kudos.

ISLAM!!
El7amdolela i finally found a real poem which is talking about islam, this is absolutely great!! because most muslim poets around here don't really write something for their religion...

it was really expressive and i liked it so much
Good luck

I love it!
Very lovely! I was intriqued by your poem Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Which lead me to this peice of work. It is very sad how closed-minded individuals will attack an entire religion for the acts of a handful of "followers." I don't deal well with religion bashing of any sort, especially when the individual is too ignorant and stuck in their own ways to even open their minds and give others a chance to prove them all wrong.
Wonderful write!!

Holy crap how do you get so many comments on this?!!!
Personally my own views of Islam is a very split religion, split between the ones who aren't following the laws of the religion, our favorite terrorists!
And the true ones who follow it, which it seems you definitely do. I've never really thought of Egypt having bad Islams for a long time. Hasn't it pretty much been since the time of Moses? lol I've not heard of anything bad going on there in a longgggggg time. But I like this alot. It is a good write and it certainly describes Islam well from an Islamic's pov who just seems to be crying out to the world that not all of her people are bad.
Here's my testimony for you, I'll hug you and say "Peace be with you" like we do at church every Sunday. We Episcopalians are taught to truly follow the Bible where it says that God says, "to love one another, no matter the difference. God made EVERYONE the way they ARE." So if they are gay, they DO come into our church, we have gay people in our ministry and I am happy for that.
Talk to you later Nooni, again, great write!

This is an interesting overview of your religion and your right, too often do people judge the Islamic religion based on what they see on t.v. and assume that all Muslims are like that. People tend to watch news if it is edgy, and that means tearing down everyone for the sake of drama. If all our religions were judged solely by the news, we would be praying to no one(cause they always say we will keep so and so in our prayers but talk trash on all religions), christians would all be gays and perverts(contreversies about priest touching little boys), Muslims would all be terrorist(9/11), and we would all be choosing what religion "suits us".
-
Beautiful.....
A very spiritual and heavenly message portrayed here....great job!
-
Even though I am a christian I feel the islamic religion to be very misunderstood. The religion is not bad, people are bad. And that is true in any religion. Look at what happened in the crusades....many muslims were slaughtered. Arabic terrorists do not represent Islam anymore than christians or catholics represent a specific country. I have studied many religions. I choose to believe in Jesus. I believe he is the only way to heaven. But I am no one's judge. God is my judge, and I am accountable for my actions.
"Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few". Ecclesiastes 5:2 - the bible

Interesting
I comment on your poem and return the favour for you commenting on mine - thanks - this is not really a poem, but rather a deperate attempt to justify your relgion - to say you only fight to protect your religion tells it all - a religion (or God for that matter) that needs to be defended is not worth a plug nickle. The terrorists say they are the true Moslems and you are not. Your religion says you are not to shed innocent blood - my religion says we are not to shed guilty blood. Read my poem "Since Time Began" You say people make false claims, I'm sure you won't convince many that Moslems are not guilty, but then again the U.S.A. is guilty as sin too. Do you consider non-moslems infedels? Bless God - Dobar Dan -
wowww 285 comments amazing I wonder how u manage to get such ammount of comments la 7asad,great poem indeed clarifying things for those who think we are terrorists we use the word peace in every second and this's what Islam is all about.
-
Wonderful, I my self have no real clam on one religion, I do however believe that there is one power, one God to rule them all. Weither it be what you believe or others, I am still learning what my heart wants of me and my soul. Well expressed piece you have my dear. You should read, "Now what do I believe" and this can show you what I fight within my own mind in religion. It would mean a lot to me.
-
You have stated the problem with faiths very succinctly: we are judged by what others do. I am lumped with those who do the most horrendous things in God's name, even though we know they do it either for themselves or in a misguided sense of what God wants. The same is true for your faith (I avoid the word religion as it is man-made and not God-made.) There are so many Muslims who do not agree with what is going on right now. They are not true followers of their faith, as the Christians who kill doctors who perform abortions; they are bullies. Plain and simple.
No one ever asks the little people how they feel about things; they are more interested in getting their point across.
Thank you for sharing your faith with us; it cannot be easy, with the anti-Muslim climate right now. We can only pray that one day everyone will be able to live side-by-side in peace, no matter what their beliefs.

wow ndada this is awesome am so proud and so i bet is our religion too the poem is awesome just like u
-
I like this a lot Nooni. I think it explains a lot when so many have views that are closed minded. I didn't know many of the things explained above and I think that fear comes from ignorance. You are a great poet!

Interesting
As a poem, it flowed nicely. As a religion, it's very interesting. Nice perspective. -
hi sweetie, it has been a while since we've talked. i learned something about you today. as for the writing of this piece, it taught me some things i did not know about islam. i find what you have written to be well done in form and informative. the only punctuation error i found is here: We fought only when we had to; i believe the semicolon is used incorrectly {at least according to my word program as i was not entirely sure} thank you for sharing this with me as i now know a bit more about you and the religion you practice. viyanna rosemarie.
ps--congratulations on the silver trophy you earned with this write.
-
I respect you for the choice in your religion. I, in no way agree with your religion, as I'm sure you don't agree with the Christianism way of believing.
-
it is well written. it sheds light on Islam to Christians and other religions

Thank you so much for your comment and your applauds. I am glad you liked my info poem

i have had certin religions told me from my grandfather in his view. and it's very interesting to hear it in a different view, well writtin.
-
Superb/Inspirational
A very fine write indeed. Your faith comes shining through. The desire for peace, one hopes, will someday bind the human race together "until the drums of war are heard no more". -
Thank you
i completely agree with you. people should not judge others because of religion. religion is an important thing a person but religion doesnt always make the person. i think you showed that in this poem. it is unfortunate that society puts people into a group and thinks that they all are the same, we all know they are not. this poem is so beautifully written and conveys very clearly a very strong message.
-
as a catholic i have always agreed with you. not all followers of islam are bad people, i have many islamic friends who are nothing but laid back and fun loving. people need to take a step back and learn a thing or two about themselves before they judge other for their beliefs. GOOD JOB! this is a great poem. there is alot of meaning held inside it. your are a good spokesmen for your culture. sure, there are islamic people who missinterpret the Koran and do terrible things, but there are also horrible christians who missinterpret the bible, and do equally horrible things. thank you for sharing this poem Nada, it is beautiful. Tim aka ChildOfTheNing
-
nice description of your religion. i'm not islamic, but i thought it was a nice poem from your side...well written and expressive of what you believe.
-
I agree with you. Religion is important and it doesnt matter what religion we choose...there is only one god and we all call him whatever we call him. See you in heaven someday Nada adel. You are a wonderful poet. God Bless. Patti
-
nicely said. i am unsure of my religion choice but you know what yours is and that cool. nice job with the statement. It was good
-
Wow this really amazing I never knew this

well now u do cutie Thank you for reading

I learned something today. I was not familiar with your religion..it's good to know what you believe and why you believe it. I enjoyed the read!

very good
I am Christian. I used to be Egyptian pagan, but I converted. I have nothing against Muslims in general. Most of the ones I know are decent people. However, unfortunately, decent people don't make the news much, so all we ever hear about are those Muslims who want to blow us all up for whatever reason. It's a shame that the decent ones get such a bad rap from the intolerant, murderous jerks that happen to share the same religion. Sadly, we Christians have our fair share of those, too. I shudder to think that somewhere out there someone is forming his or her opinion of Jesus, based on the examples of Jerry Falwell or Fred Phelps. I certainly hope the majority of Muslims don't think and act like Osama bin Laden.
-
-
Well the majority do not think that way. And it is sad how we are portrayed but I guess there can't be much done here, the bad side is the one which the media likes to use and to portray others with.
Thank you for reading my poem and applauding it,

Thankx Clovis. Your comment is highly appreciated. Thnk you for reading.

I think with all the people in the world, there cannot be one true path - there are many. I enjoyed this poem alot, insightful for me as I know very little about Islam.
-
Superb
A very fine write indeed. I agree, the extremists of any religion usually just bring shame and disgrace upon the religion they claim to represent. Very well done. -
Thank you so much Fox. I am glad you enjoyed my poem and can understand
-
This is right on track and definetly expresses your sentiment well.I agree with you totally I think too many people see use religion as kind of a blanket to hate people. Just because one person pulls a crazy doesn't condem an entire faith.Great Job.
-
Thank you for reading and commenting my poem Serena. I'm glad you liked it and thank you for applauding it.

You did alot of work into this & should be proud.
-
I think you did a wonderful job proclaiming your faith and your description is detailed so that I can feel the love for your religion. You have Great description here. keep penning.
-
great poem
I think that I read somewhere that god has 99 different names and that we as people should not feel that our name for him is all that is, when there could be a name for him that differential from our own. This is a great write and keep on penning. thanks for sharing this with me, I will be reading this again...... -
Merry meet Nooni,
Ah, such a beautiful poem and sentiment. I know I get tired of correcting (or attempting to) ignorance here in the US regarding the Muslim faith, the terrorist jhad and such. As you know, I am Wiccan and proud of it. I understand your frustration and I empthize.
Your form is impeccable as always, your word choice is deceiving simiple for the message they carry. Good job my friend.
Amythest -
I agree. Not all people of a religion are the same. I don't see all people of your religion as terrorists. I never thought that. I believe everyone wants peace. It is how that peace is obtained that is another story. I think you are courageous for writing your poem.
-
Looking at the poem with a critical eye, it seems to be more of a prose piece broken up to look like a poem. That would be my only "beef" as it were, with this poem. That being said, I think you didn't write this to post a poem, but to rather post your thoughts and feelings on the issues surrounding your religion. I think you achieved that admirably and I applaud your willingness to post it and create a discussion on it here. I have served my time in Iraq, and I am not so stupid to believe that what some fanatics and lunatics do, is represenative of the entire culture/religion. As a Mormon, I am well aware of how misconceptions can create a hateful reaction in the willfully ignorant. Good luck and God bless.
-
Generalisations are a terrible thing. We are all different people and I agree with you, just because a few people following a religion are bad, doesn't mean the whole religion is. Although I don't follow any religion myself, I respect your views and beliefs that you've talked about here. I enjoyed this poem!
-
I applaud the sentiment, and fully agree that there needs to be more understanding between religions. (I'd quibble with you over the second stanza, as all the big religions have caused their fair share of war/turmoil) Unfortunately, as a poem this didn't work for me. It came off as preachy, lacked any sense of symbol or imagery.
Could it be reworked? Perhaps centered around the image of bending to the will of God (isn't this the original of the term islam?) -
Thank you so much for reading Aidenn. I'm really glad you liked my poem, thank you for applauding it too. I unction perfectly with my christian friends too, i don't know why soem don't function well with muslims though.
Thankx again! Nooni

Let the song of Gabriel be played.
The children of Abraham (Issac Isah and Isaah) must one day lower their arms and live as brothers. only when enough have created a critical mass, can the peace the Qu'ran teaches be made possible.

Great poem :-) First of all, I'd just like to say it's wonderful to read a poem on religion here that isn't Christian. Don't get me wrong, although I have mixed feelings on what I believe, I lean toward the 'Christian' teachings...however, it seems that always, when there's a poem or collumn here on religion, it's always Christians saying how people must do this or that to be forgiven by God and that they somehow know best...ergh...anyway, that could just be me being unlucky with what I click on, but it has been my experience here so far...but it truly is refreshing to see a poem about a different religion :-) I really liked the message in this, and it is something so crucial in these times. It's both bold of you to stand up so strongly and say this with pride, and also to say it in a poetic manner, making it a piece of art in its own right, not just a speech which I have seen here a lot too. Really, really well done on this....a really great poem :-)
-
This is very well written and your points are legitimate. I myself am Christian I have spoken with several who are Islam none which I would think a terrorist so I agree with you not everyone is a terrorist in Islam anymore than everyone is in Christianity or Judaism everyone deserves the right to believe in what they wish the freedom of choice God granted to us all that's what sepereates us from the angels. Well done.
-
Very interesting. Basically, the trend I've noticed with religious zealots of any faith, is that they get so involved in the morals associated with their beliefs and being a good "christian" or good "muslim" that they forget how to be a good person in the process. I personally am an atheist. It gives me a lot more insight into the faith of others and allows me to better appreciate all lifestyles bother for their good points and their flaws. I definitely agree with this piece. I studied theology as a kind of personal hobby for about 5 years. Nicely done. Well structured and silky-smooth in execution, which carries it's powerful message well. Take care.
-B'Jot -
excellent piece!
Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa Barakatuh, Sister Nada this was fantastic..I am also a muslim and proud to be a muslim..Islam is religion of peace indeed and too bad that there is still a lot of racism outhere..Like you said we should never judge others by their religion ,race or color..we should actually never judge anybody unless we are in their shoes..this was such beautiful poem..and it deserved the trophy..best of luck my dear poet
AJ -
We all worship the same God. The differences that divide us - will destroy us.
-
Interesting and informative.
In my life and work I have met peoples of different faiths. No your religion is not the only religion that have killed others. Most of my dealings with people that believe as you do have been good ones. There are fanatics in every religion. While I believe in Jesus Christ the son of God, it does not mean that I am to hate you or do wrong to you because of your faith. There is a lot about the way that you pray that I think we should all be more diligent about. I truly believe that peace first begins in the person and that we must reach out to others in order to understand their beliefs and respect them. -
Amazing
This is an excellent poem. I agree with you. You can never jdge someone by their religon. It is not only wrong, but I believe that it is disgusting. I am a christain, but I have friends of every faith, and we all get along excellently. I wish that the rest of the world could function like that.
Great write, and so very true. I loved reading this. Thank you for posting it. -
Regardlees of the one you choose to serve, the message is the same: Walk in peace, unity and love for one another as yourself. When properly applied this leaves no room for judgement Mr. Joe
-
Its good to see you being proud of your religion. I'm a Catholic myself, but I really liked your piece. It was full of conviction and clarity. I think its important to learn about lots of religions because it may give you perspective on your own. Its unfortunate that some americans are so ignorant that they extract lines from the Quran and use it to attack Islam - calling it a violent religion. That should be an oxymoron, but I guess recent events have shown that violence and religion often linked. I say, no violence whatsoever, because no religion condones it. If you want to take out lines from the Quran and say that Muslims must kill anyone who doesn't convert, then you can take things out of the Bible and say that gays should be killed on site. Its all to be taken in context I think. Anyways, I digress, good poem. lol

good work
good write. you are just being yourself and i feel that you are telling me about yourself and your life. -
i admit that there has been a lot of wrong doing against you and i must also admit there are a few people on both the sides that are wrong and not just wrong sinfully commiting crimes in trhe name of religion,,,,i must tell you that i m a Hindu,perhaps a jain to be precise,,but I read The HOLY BIBLE,,The GEETHA and THE VEDAS...I tried to get myself THE QURAN and infact have told a few friends to get me one in english..i know that we have been leading ourelves in believing in different faiths,,and i admire everyone's Right to do so all are free to believe in what they seem right but must refrain from Haarming anybody because we do not have any Rights to do so,....Ameen
-
mashaAllah! thisis great. thank u for simply putting it out there. keep up the good work and never be afraid to stand up for islam!
-
well done!
So so so true! I'm Christian, but what you've just descrived of Islam is exactly what my best friend lives! That's how I learnt about Islam... from her life.
I shudder at how many silly people think about Muslims as terrorists. It is tragic that such narrow-mindedness and ignorance abounds when education has never been more accessible to the world's peoples! I get annoyed because I know so many devout and altogether wonderful people who are Muslim andI hate to think that anyone would call them terrorists! Truly, Islam is a religion of peace. And true Muslims live it.
Nada I applaud this poem and I am sending the link to my friend. Stand up for what you believe in, even when others around you take the path of ignorance. Continue to learn and educate others as well!

it is a dear poem that explains in a simple and clear manner the basic beliefs of islam.nooni the witch,i am happy at your effort to inform and change the wrong perceptions found in people about islam. To tell you the truth, your poem has inspired me to write one myself.
Edited on Aug 16, 4:36 p.m. because ''. -
See, everyone has this problem with religion. "Muslims are terrorists, Catholics are child-molestors, Satanists are evil, Jews are greedy." The misdeeds of a few become the basis of arguments for loads of people. Most Muslims I know are calm people, peaceful people. I myself am Catholic, and I've never been drawn to children, I've hung out with Satanists and they're really not evil, and my ex was Jewish and hardly a representative for the Israeli government's actions in the Middle East...
The poem itself was alright. I preferred the contents over the form and wording. A good way to express what you believe, and spread some understanding. Can't judge a whole people or religion based on acts of some people, and you can't put everyone in the same category. -
I applaud you for standing up for your religion. I do how ever have some difficulty with some of your lines. I don't believe we were created from "mud" per say. The bible says we were created from the earth. In another line I dissagree with is "Alla being the only one", With God there is a trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
I admire you for putting this up for all to read and I'm sure there will be controversy with all religions. I think you did a great job explaining this to all. I don't mean to put you down for your beliefs, just trying to explain mine too. -
nice poem, awkward form but loved the confidance and pride shown in this poem! I guess your right. People do really catagorize fast in this world...If your from iraq, your a terrorist, if you come from france, your fat, lol its just easier for people to look at the big picture than indivisual aspects! well good poem... thank you for entering and good luck!
PS: loved the line
And we are created from mud.
HEHE never thought about that before! -
I'm a Christian, and I think you show your religion very well. And thanks for your sweet author's comment; I feel the same way. Good work!!!

it's sad that everyone's profiled today...it doesn't matter what race...religion or persuasion...honey there's a few manipulating the many...what is happening is there's so much hate that it has brought humanity to it's knees...I've also studied history and civilizations...we are back where we were 11,000 years ago...there were advance civilizations...that's another story for another time...history is about to repeat itself..smile and hugs..thanks for responding back...Dave

outstanding insight and truly written..bravo!
Your religion is the same as of the Christian and of the Jewish faith...I've read the Koran...that's not a doctrine of hate...but of the same insight as the other religions..for they come from the same patriach...Abraham...most forget that and the significence...in a world unraveling...isn't it time for humanity to start getting along before we have "nothing left"...outstanding write...hugs...David
Edited on Aug 12, 4:48 p.m. because ''. -
You know, suprisingly I know what you are talking about. I am European (caucasian) but I am Muslim( not Islamic though). But, in the holy places I used to go when I was a child, there would always be the Qu'ran. The only difference in my situation is that I didn't call God "Allah", but God, in my language, Albanian.
Anywaisss, I am not a religious person though, my parents are, but I'm more of a believe-in-only-God-and-no-religion person.
But, I don't judge people just because of their religion. Diversity is cool, I love it. There can't be only Christianity, or only Budhism, or whatever, there has to be a variety of religions too, so that people can choose from.
Nice write my friend. Selam Alejkum
-
so basically you see jesus as a prophet, not a messiah. but scripture also says that just because you are forgiven your sins through Jesus sacrifice, you dont have carte blanche to go on sinning. Even without Jesus in the picture, in the old testament the message from god was always the same...there is nothing in this world you can do to earn it. there is no wisdom knowledge or anything else that god did not give. so how can one earn something that has already been given to them.

of course you have to earn your way into heaven. Isn't that what happens in most things in life. You can not "sin sin sin" and find yourself in heaven and say it was a gift. Furthermore, we believe in Jesus but as the messenger of Christianity not the son of God.

Thank you for commenting Princess I'm glad you liked my poem.

I am not offended. I guess free verse is a bit paragraph like. Anyways, I'm not offended, I know it has no rhyme what-so-ever and I can't rhyme well either. But thank you for commenting.

Religion, isn't that something that is done religiously, daily? Not just relegated to one "holy day a week". I feel your religion of Islam is practiced more religiously than the western christianities. And I am, was one.
Lovely piece.

Oh. This is a nice little poem that you have written here! I like it! And I agree that you can't blame everyone for what a few people do. People do that with everything though and race especailly. It's all very sad. But I think that it's great that you stepping up and willing to speak out not in anger but in a show of peace and try to help people understand. I think that's really wonderful and positive of you and I hope it helps others. You have done a good job of expressing yourself here. So thanks for featuring this so that we all had a chance to share your words and feelings with you!
-
the only basic difference between christianity is the in christianity, there is Jesus. the thing i have always had a problem with concerning islam is that god is a punitive god, not one of love and you have to earn your way into heaven. In christianity, there is nothing you can do to earn it, its a gift.

Thank you for reading and commenting paullallady. I'm glad you liked my poem. We do not kill women and children and say it is in the name of religion. We fight when we have to, for our religion, families and out land. We don't kill 'just like that' although some do yes. But those are idiots (really) and it is not in the name of Islam to go blow yourself up either.

very good
I like how you explained your religion. It was a nice read. I don't think that everyone thinks that all islams are terrorists. Though when I see them burning the american flag, I guess they hate all americans. The basic fact of almost all religions is love. Pure love. In pure love there can not be hate, and killing. Even the first christians were killed just for believing and they did not fight. The stood fast in their beliefs, so I have a hard time believing that killing men, women children and standing back saying it is in the name of my religion,,,can that ever be justified? I don't know. We each will know one day if the choices we made were correct. Your write though was almost an "this is my religion and I am putting it right in your face!" which makes it a powerful write and very good. -
I'm glad you liked my poem and found it informative. Thank you for reading, commenting and applauding.
