It's you
Just you,no one else.
And it's me ,just me.
No one else
Meanwhile,
We have them,just them.No one else.
Who would fall for the prey?
A few years before now,how and where was I?
What about you?
And them?
I was on the journey of realization and becoming.
Perhaps you, too, were
And them,they only want the idea of destruction to come to life.
Who's destruction?
The destruction of you and me.
Who had fallen prey?
Who would be the next?
They had fallen prey to whims of the accursed.
Indeed, they've been lost, and they would never be guided because my Lord and your Lord has said it.
Look everywhere. The world is lost.
Look who's far from guidance..
Them
But would they rather be lost alone?
No!
Every bit of their life is about how to destroy you and me because they have acknowledged to be misguided, and so should you be.
But would they do so directly?
The Latest Jazz,Pop play would never cease to release and be well sponsored.
You'll never listen to it,I know .
The Fashion Trends would never stop promoting Nudity.
You would never put it on,Great.
The Latest Movie series would never stop attracting you.
You won't be interested ,anyway.
This was how the world was years back and the way you and I were .
Look into the present…..
Where and How am I?
What about you?
They?
They would never be guided, and their aim is still the same.
They had identified that you won't be misguided just so easily,the consciousness is still solid.
Their next move is to infuse some of your beliefs and practices into theirs.
Now,the lyrics of the Jazz and pop play speak about your practice .
Afterall, the lyrics speak so much truth,a whisper creeps.
The fashion trends infused their idea into your cover.
A stunning cover...Afterall, it's still a cover ,another whispers creeps.
The movie industry releases their so called series, oh wow,it portrayed Islam to an extent ,the whisper creeps again...
They got you and me right there but that's a bait.
They discovered it worked,the next plan was executed and little by little, my conscience and yours started fading.
Have we fallen to the prey?
Not yet….
Cmon girl,it's your big day.
You should get a befitting make up to look gorgeous.
You can't put on your hijab this way,it's too boring.
Let the expensive earing be seen,cool that way.
Let's see your ring ……
Please turn on the music,It's her day.
Oh please stop,
Do we really need to fall prey ?
She doesn't need this,it's a sacred journey. Everything should be done in the pleasure of her Lord.
They were reminded.
Have we fallen prey?
We had, ever since they had made us justify our sins and instead of acknowledging the reminder when we tend to fall prey, we give excuses to back up our acts .
How did we get here?
Literally everywhere we turn ,sins have now turn to norms in Muslim Community.
Where's then the evidence to show that we're truly the best of mankind when we could no longer differentiate a muslim from others.
You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind) Q3:110.
When did the one honoured with the Qur'an become the one with full album of Artistes who have made it in the industry.
When did the one who was brought up with the right ruling of Hijab become the one who justifies her head tie?
When did the one with the correct Aqeedah become the one who supports Anti Islamism or Islamophobia in the name of portraying Islam as a religion of peace,highest level of Hypocrisy.
Since when has the forbidden become permissible ?
Since when has when you want to fall prey and you get reminded become forbidden that the one who's now reminds who goes by the saying that reminders benefit the believers seen as extremist.
Since when do we get reminded and we feel guilty and instead of acknowledging and appreciating the one who has reminded us,we bring up the "I'm not as religious as you "fallacy or "We're still trying" or My level of faith has not reached that level.
Wait,our level of faith has not gotten to that level .
Is that a flex?
That we're happy with how misguided we are.
And who told us our level of faith hasn't gotten there or the laziness in us to not want to fight against our Nafs .
Do we think people whom we feel have some level of religious consciousness got there so easily.
Everyone of them strives, the kind of struggle that would make them battle constantly with their Nafs and would pray sincerely about it .
The people who would want to among the people Allah has chosen.
The people who would want to give it their best for his love.
It's time to pick up slacks and get better in the real sense and with all efforts.
Have we fallen prey?
Long ago…..
The moment we see believers who remind us when we tend to fall prey as extremist is the moment they had envisioned.
That every little forbidden that should be seen as a greater sin when committed is taken with levity.
And when we're asked,we say Afterall they are doing it.
But the last time I checked,the Judgment will not change just because everyone is doing it.
Your Lord and Mine will not change his judgement just because the world is Lost .
They,the world has fallen prey.
Who would be the next?
You or Me?
I ask my Lord and yours to never be among the misguided ones.

I leave you in the care of my Lord, the most high.
