| [slm] I AM A MUSLIM BUT ONLY BY NAME by a Sister. I am a Muslim, but only by name When it comes to practising, what a shame! I go to friends and relatives in suit and tie It's alright if I occasionally lie Yes I practise, BUT when it suits me Or more to the point, when it pleases society. If I show my ankles, they'll point and laugh They'll think it's too short and reckon I'm daft. If I trim my moustache and grow the beard They'll reckon I'm a fanatic or something weird. If I wear the sunnah I'll get great reward But the Kuffaar will look down on me, that I can't afford. Yes I'm a Muslim, but only by name I make excuses which I admit are rather lame. Yes I'm a sane man and I'm on the right track Who am I kidding, I feel like a right jack! To hide my inferiority complex I protest it's unimportant Though my heart screams to tell me I'm a blatant fraudulent The best thing is no-one can hear what's going on inside People think I've got it made and with my life I'm satisfied. But I'm afraid this is a fable and it's a pure deception I have no peace of mind but this I daren't even mention. If I remain ignorant it's OK, 'cos then I don't have to practise Yes I'm conniving and these are baseless evil tactics. But I read the Kalima and I think I have Imaan I can't help my attitude - I was placed in a Kufrstaan. Yes I'm a Muslim but only by name And with my precious life I'm playing a foolish disastrous game Jazak Allah Kahir Your sister in Islam Asifa |

| [slm] what a reality ... The sounds of His glory ring the minerat again The sounds of marching foot ring the ground again For the bodies and clothes attend the mosque in prayers While their soul and hearts are visiting some other Harams just my outlook for todays muslims [wlm] |
