Hi readers :)
What if i tell you,
that Islam means peace, obedient and submission.
Anyway....here the story begin...
Let me introduce myself,
My name is Islam, the rootword of peace -salam (سلام),
Or even saleema (سليما) meaning submission,
Which to a muslim is like his tuition, it's his ticket in,
But before I begin let me greet you like I'm supposed to do,
so Assalamu'alaikum, may peace be upon you.
You know it's kinda funny,
I'm accused of oppressing when really I'm oppressed,
I've became on the list of things to detest,
I'm screamed in rage in almost every protest,
& I've became the "red scare" , a "threat to the west",
You see? If you look at me and all my obligations,
You'll see why I have such a great population,
It's cause there is the motivation and that sense of inspiration,
That keeps "muslim" as their occupation,
To me, being a good muslim means being a good person,
'Cause I'll never ask you to kill or to slay or to lie at least 5 times a day,
I'll never ask you to steal or to hate or to swear or discriminate,
I actually tell you to smile to everyone you see,
'Cause a smile is the best form of charity,
I tell you not to smoke and not to drink,
To stay clean and take shower so you simply don't stink!
I tell you to care for animals and treat them with care,
So yes I'm against animal testing & abuse in care you weren't aware,
I tell you to treat those who treat you bitter....better,
I tell you not to be mad at someone more than 3 days,
I tell you to respect women and lower your gaze,
I tell you that paradise lies under the feet of your mother,
I tell you to passionately love your significant other,
I tell you to never mistreat your wife!
I mean if I tell you to care for animals, then what about the love of your life?
I tell you to be precious and save youself for "the one",
So you don't keep giving yourself away till you're literally done,
I tell you to be moderate and that balance is key,
Just in the middle is the perfect place to be,
I tell you to excell in all that you do, from that essay to that slum-dunk too!
I tell you to clear your ignorance and to never judge,
To love for your bro what you love for yourself and to never hold a grudge,
I tell you how to be a good person, a person of peace and a person of love,
& they say I'm a terrorist, an extremist,
You know what? I am.
I am a terrorist, I terrorize terror,
I kill injustice to make this world fairer,
I am an extremist, I am extremeeeeeely kind,
So beware of my extreme benevolence to all of mankind,
Yes there are those who kill and bomb in my name,
But if I don't approve then why am I to be blamed?
In every religion you'll find those who abuse it, thinking they have a permit to do wrong,
A religion may be prefect but the followers may not be,
So when mine commit mistakes don't blame it on me,
I give what I got and what I got is good,
So if they do otherwise...they misunderstood,
& I'm not here to preach, I'm just here to teach,
I'm a professor in politics, economy and sociology,
In manners and ettiquette, I got my PHD,
To all my teachings, I have 2 sources,
The book of God and the words of the prophet are my resources,
I teach for free and to whoever desires to learn,
It's all for the sake of Allah, I ask for nothing in return,
& listen, I'm not here to convert but just to clear misconceptions,
With the way I'm viewed and my common perception,
Because yes it hurts when I'm literally abused,
By some who do it for pleasure just to be amused,
& by some who just follow the "trend" because they're clearly confused,
In a nutshell,
My name is Islam.
