Salaams all,
Hope you have all kept well whilst I was away at the Living Islam Camp 2005 and then to Andalucia in Spain. I have captured some good shots out there and Insha-Allah will post them on soon once I have uploaded them on to my computer.
I came back last night and could not wait to log on and check out some of my favourite blogs to see what new posts have been added. One in particular is Expressions of Peace by Umm Ibraheem.
The sister has added this new poem and with her permission, I have posted it to my blog to go with my painting also titled Al-Khaaliq – The Creator. Read on, and take heed of the words.
Wasalaam
Umm Aisha
THE CREATOR (by Umm Ibraheem)
HE IS AL-KHALIQ,
THE CREATOR,
HE CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,
THE RIVERS AND THE SEA,
THE MOUNTAINS AND THE FIELDS,
THE STARS AND THE MOON,
ALL THAT WE SEE AND DON’T SEE ARE CREATED BY THE ALMIGHTY.
WE ARE THE HUMANS,
MOST REVERED OF ALL HIS CREATIONS,
WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN KNOWLEDGE,
FREEDOM OF CHOICE,
TO BUILD, RE-CREATE, TO TRAVEL,
WE ARE THE DESTROYERS,
POLLUTING THE SKIES AND THE SEAS,
CREATING WASTE,
KILLING THE TREES,
ABUSING NATURE,
SLAUGHTERING ANIMALS, NOT FOR BASIC NEEDS,
DO WE THINK OF OUR ACTIONS,
EACH TIME WE PUT OUT THE TRASH,
WITH OUR MODERN LIFESTYLES,
WE TAKE TOO MUCH FOR GRANTED.
LET US TRY TO STEP BACK,
TAKE A LOOK AT ALLAH’S swt’s BLESSINGS UPON US,
LET US TRY TO TURN GREEN,
THINK OF EACH ACTION AS PRESERVATION,
OF ALLAH’S AMAZING CREATIONS!
