In Allah's Name
In the name of Allah we are born
In His name we live, and in His name we die
Our shadows prostrate to their Creator morning and evening
without our consent
Birds and animals usher in the times of prayer
Birds circumambulate the Ka'ba
while migrating birds stretch forth their wings
finding their way by Allah's Mercy
Only to feel unrest and leave once more
ever-searching, traveling discontent until they die
We, also wander, some blindly, while others see


Please, Mom and Dad
My hands are small
I don't mean to spill my milk.

My legs are short,
Please slow down, so I can keep up with you.

Don't slap my hand when I touch something bright and pretty.
I don't understand.

Please, look at me, when I talk to you.
It' lets me know you are really listening.

My feeling are tender, don't nag me all day.
Let me make mistake without feeling stupid.

Don't expect the bed, make or the picture, draw to be perfect
Just love me for trying.

Remember I am child not small adult.
Sometimes I don't understand what you are saying.

I love you so much
Please love me just for being me - not just for the thing I can do.

 

When I Say...I am a Muslim
When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
I'm not shouting " down with Christians and Jews."
I am whispering "I seek peace,"
and Islam is the path that I choose.

When I say. . . I am a Muslim,
I speak of this with pride.
And confess that sometimes I stumble,
and need Allah to be my guide.

When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
I know this makes me strong.
And in those times when I am weak,
I pray to Allah for strength to carry on.

When I say. . . I am a Muslim,
I'm not boasting of success.
I'm acknowledging that Allah has rescued me,
and I cannot ever repay the debt.

When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are indeed visible,
but Allah forgives because his followers are worth it.

When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
it does not mean I will never feel pain.
I still have my share of heartaches,
which is why I invoke Allah's name.

When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
I do not wish to judge.  I have no such authority
My duty is to submit to Allah's all-encompassing love.

 

Muslim Duties 
  The fourth pillar of Islaam
Is fasting which we do
Once a year in Ramadaan
To make us stronger too
Right from when the day begins
We start to fast you see
And when the sun has set completely
That's when we can eat
Ramadaan is such a great time!
More Qur'aan we read
And Allaah gives us more rewards!
For doing each good deed
The gates of Paradise are opened
During Ramadaan!
It's a time when Muslims try
To strengthen their Imaan
Look forward then to Ramadaan
For one month it will last
And Allaah will give huge rewards
For every single fast!
 
Allah's Creations 
Busy Little Honey Bee   
Busy little honeybee!
Living in your hive
Working night and day for me
Allaah makes you strive.
Then upon my breakfast table
From you little bee
Comes your honey so delicious
Sticky, golden, yummy!
So for our little worker
Love for her let's send
Do not bother or disturb her
She’s our busy friend!

 

Fish in the Sea

Lots of fish upon the tide
They go swimming side by side
Underwater they abide
And on the waves they ride!

Allaah made their home, the sea
So the fish swim happily!
Colourful, big and small
Allaah made them all.

 

The Little Spider

The little spider spins her home
A soft and silky bed!
So do not raise your hand to harm
Her gentle silver web!
Busy night and day she weaves
Spinning threads of beauty
She is Allaah's little creature
Carrying out her duty.

 

Moon and Sun 
 Silvery moon!   I see your face
High in the sky,  That is your place
Quietly you appear,  When it is night
There I see you , When tucked up tight! 
Allah has made you ,  You are His moon
But you will be hidden,  From our eyes quite soon
That will be when, The daytime has come
When Allah reveals The light of the sun

                      
 MY TWO ANGELS 
I have two angels that follow me
wherever I may go,
One of them is quick to write,
the other one is slow.
The one who is quick to write
is when I'm being good
the other doesn't like to write
even when he should!

The one who doesn't like to write
is when I am being bad
he wants to hear me say "I'm sorry"
to my mom and dad.
And when I say "I'm sorry Allah,
I won't do that again"
he rubs away my bad deed
marked against my name.

The one who is quick to write,
writes the good I try to do
even, when it doesn't work out right
he writes that one down too
so when I get to Paradise
waiting there for me
will be lots of lovely presents -
oh, how happy I will be!


THE SKY AT NIGHT 
 Little stars up in the sky
you light the heavens way up high.
Allah has placed you there to shine
you are amongst His wondrous signs.

Big yellow moon with silvery light
you shine for travelers in the night
remember how once you split in two
obeying our Prophet for all to view.

Then as your term has been ordained
your luster fades and starts to wain,
then you become a crescent small
at other times you're not there at all!

 

THE SEASONS!! 
Springtime brings fresh flowers
bursting from the earth
little lambs skip merrily
upon the new green turf.

Summer comes a knocking,
knocking at the door
the sun shines very brightly
making people sore!
 
Then along comes autumn
dressed in red and gold
blustery winds come suddenly
making night-time cold.
 
Slowly, silently winter creeps
in her icy cloak
fires are lit in the hearth
with fluffy puffs of smoke.
 
Each and every season
Allah has made for you and me
to marvel at His wonders
and praise Him thankfully.

 

THE ANIMAL KINGDOM 
  Some animals make their homes in trees
so do some insects and buzzing honey bees.
Others burrow away in the earth so deep
then curl up inside for a winter-time sleep.
Camels live in the desert hot and dry
storing water in their humps so that they won't die.
Yet the Polar bear with his white coat so nice
has to fish through a hole he made in the ice.
No matter whether animals are big or small
they know that its Allah who has made them all!


JANNAH - ( PARADISE )
There's a Garden, beautiful
Allaah says He'll give
To each Muslim who has tried
A good life to live.
It's a place we've never been
Where people never die
Happy always, they will be
And they will never cry.
So if we all obey Allaah
Do our fasts and Prayer
Allaah will give us that Garden
Forever we'll live there!


MY DEAR DAD
My dear dad! Each weekday
You go out to earn some pay
Working hard, this I see
To support your family.
My dear dad! Hard you earn
So that I can grow and learn
Struggling and cheerfully
So you can look after me.
My dear dad! Rest your side
You have worked so long outside
So much of your time is spent
Paying for the bills or rent.
Dearest dad! I will pray
Allaah guides you every way
And that Allaah High above
Gives you all His love!


MY DEAR MUM
Mum is special, this I know
She loves and cares for me
She guides me and she helps me grow
And does so tenderly.
She’s by my side when I feel down
And when I get upset
Mum is there to comfort me
And dry my eyes all wet!
I pray that Allaah keep us close
That's my mum and me
And keeps us strong upon Islaam
To serve Him lovingly.

 

SHARE
Allaah gives me food to eat
But there are people on the street
With no water and no bread
But thanks to Allaah, I am fed.
I thank Allaah for all things good
But to please my Lord, I should
Share my food with people poor
Bring a smile and give them more.
Allaah kindly gives to me
Food and drink so generously
So His gifts I'm going to share
And for others, I will care.
