Keeping It Real Poem by Yassar Ali

Were up quicker than the drug dealers before the sunrise
Standing in prayer and hoping for paradise
Every second we ask the One in whose hands lies all the power
To aid us in this life and relieve us of all pain in the final hour
Knock knock can you hear it?
The call from our blessed Prophet
Calling us to eternal paradise
A place where one never dies
We need to mute the devil so that we hear and obey
For we all know in this cold world we cannot stay
I say that we raise the flag of Islam
Taking oath to reject the haraam
We need to pump jihad in us like a blazing fire
A jihad against every unlawful burning desire
Truly our faith gets worn out like our clothes tend to do
Thus we must always ask The Almighty to keep us true
To the heavens above we all need to call
Asking The Almighty to purify our body and soul
Knowledge is light and ignorance is darkness
Concealing knowledge is evil and teaching it is kindness
Committing sin brings about a disease
Whilst doing good brings about ease
A life spent in sin seems incurable like cancer
Until you realise the time in prostration is the answer
The companions are like the stars shining ever so bright
Follow them and you will be guided to the path that is right
The Prophet is the bright light full of kindness
Follow Him and you will never be in darkness
