ALLAH-THE GOD OF ISLAM
Our God is just and loves the right,
The wrong is hateful in His sight,
To all his creatures, He is kind,
He gave us reason that we might,
Know good from bad and wrong from right.
This is the first lesson to light our path,
To gain His grace and shun His wrath.
But, gift of reason varies far,
Some wise and others foolish are,
The eyes of mind our passions dim,
And reason oft is quenched by whim
THE PROPHETS OF ALLAH
For second guides we have the men,
Of larger mind and wider ken,
Who could from God, a message get,
His Law before the people set.
We call them Prophets know you well,
Coming events they could foretell;
No nation was without such a guide,
To warn them and from sins to chide.
Each Prophet in his own sphere,
Was told worship God, and Him to fear.
But thousands of such Prophets came,
Of whom we know not the name,
Of some well-known, I mention make,
The Lord God bless us all for their sake!
Job, Jacob, Joseph, and Abraham,
Elias, David, and Solomon,
Lot, Moses, Aaron, and Ishmael,
Hud, Noah, Jesus, and Daniel,
With Adam first and Muhammad last,
Between the two all others passed,
Their minds were brighter than our own,
But otherwise all flesh and bones,
God did not in them incorporate,
They were men and separate.
THE BOOKS OF ALLAH
The Books of God, a third guide form,
And us of his commands inform,
God sent them all through His Prophets great,
Repealing Older with the Late,
The Quran now the Law in force
The other books having run their course.
THE MESSAGE OF GOD
In all these Books, it is plainly said:
The graves in the future give up their dead,
A new life will God give to men,
Who made us once will quicken again,
That Day we shall to Judgment be brought,
Be called to answer what we wrought,
And shall judged by the Faith we brought,
And work we did good or bad,
The good shall get a festive treat,
Everlasting bliss and a heavenly seat,
Where such the pleasure, the mirth,
We have never dreamt while on this earth.
The bad shall go to hell and fire,
And suffer pain and torture dire,
But the sense of guilt to the conscious mind,
Is more than all the pain combined.
While the sense of having pleased our Lord,
Is the greatest bliss, the highest reward.
THE HOLY QURAN
The Holy Quran teaches us to pray,
Our Lord God five times a day.
To fast the days of Ramadan lent,
To give alms to the indigent.
To visit Makkah once in life,
And to make for God every strive.
Find here the Muslim Laws in brief,
May God guide us all to this belief.
