Mullas in Pakistan used to sell themselves as pious men - say "hell for you, and heaven for you!" But that's not the most unfortunate thing. The unfortunate thing is now average people dislike things Islamic. Now, wearing a Beard is "Mullish", dhikr is "Mullish" - saying the Shahada is weird. Just strive for Allah - "you're foolish!" We are mirrors for each other, So we are each other, brother. Candy is dandy, but dhikr is quicker. You hate me to distract your eyes, When a sura I memorise. But Allah is with the patient, and not with the couch potato. And when you stare at the T.V. screen, You urge me to recite *Yaseen*. It is an irony, in my home, that the television is opposite the Qibla. You don't understand. Your back is to the Qibla when you watch television. And when you face the Qibla - the noblest of directions - your back is to the television. I wish Allah returns the Salaams you deny me in this world, my brother. I am not a "Mulla" as you think I am, someone who "uses religion" by whispering durud sharif to bug you, so you leave the apartment, and I get the plastic chair to sit on. I read durud sharif to solve the silence, of a brother who thinks I'm a "mulla", because I enjoy reciting out loud. I accept all your allegations. I am worse than you think! I am worse than a mulla! I am worse than you! And praise be to Allah, Who is above any imperfection, Who is the Source of Peace whether I live or die, whether I'm right or wrong. © 2000 Abul Arifin Syed |
