Poem written by Bassil Al Yusuf son of our dear friends Dr. Sumaya and Ali Al Yusuf Fellow Muslim, I see you there So quick to judge, but never fair I wonder much, do you not see Muhammads (pbuh) way is gentle, free Of malice, scorn, so crude and vile Such spite, your own soul does defile Your tongue rolls off such noble terms Yet twisted aims in your heart burn You break the oath, our Prophets (pbuh) plea To harm not man, or beast, or tree In pomp, conceit, you cast your hate On those who follow other faiths You must not know a single thing Of a just, righteous Christian King In Abyssinia, in times gone by Who heard the desperate, needy cry Of Muslims greater than you, a thousandfold He gave them refuge, and peace untold And Muslims who may not comply With narrow thoughts, you do despise You see Truth solely in your code Islam is vast, a spacious road I put to you a grave request Consider, would it not be best? Relinquish hate, a wretched load To carry to your last abode And live the rest of life in peace Thanking Allah for granting lease To you upon His lovely Earth For your being, and for your birth Our time is fleeting, much too brief To share not fruits of real Belief Spreading goodness, in word and deed God willing, that we may succeed ----------------------- Thank you Bassil for these wise words from young man of brilliant family
