As-Salaam Alaikum, This Poem is dedicated to the historic first graduating class of Zaytuna College. May Allah bless them all as they move forward in their lives. From Eastern Skies From eastern skies the stars brought forth their light, Conveyed by hearts transcending desert nights, Igniting flames that burn the dross of sin, Gifting to them the strength to gaze within. Freeing the hearts to know the secrets there, Those secrets with their lovers they do share. Their wisdom sometimes subtle, sometimes frank Defies pretenses of a social rank. For knowledge is for all men to enjoy And ignorance their calling to destroy. For Moses, Jesus, David, Muhammad Are guiding stars that light the firmament. Its ancient vault spanning turbulent seas; The storms they birth become a gentle breeze... That whispers to the far shores of the West: With knowledge, truth and faith ye shall be blessed. Zaid Shakir
