I Believe

A testimony I've taken I'd like to share
of a belief within of a great affair

of a day for which we should all prepare
when deeds shall be weighed on a scale so fair

when the trumpet shall be blown and we reappear
anticipating judgement at the skies we stare

The day our ablution will make us glare
The day high mountains like cotton will flair

alone... each on his own,, that day will bear
glad tidings and peace for those who care

those Who single Him out in worship sincere
To take partners with Him they do not dare

Obedience and respect their parents hear
In every good deed they want to have a share

Fornication and adultery they do not near
portions of their wealth for orphans volunteer

O Allah my Lord you are I proudly declare
the creator of the heavens and earth without wear

no rest did you take nor problems bare
The Bestower of bounties The Manifest The Near

The Creator of Adam from clay austere
The Lord of Noah and his arc which you did steer

The Lord of David and Solomon the extraordinaire
The Lord of Lot and Jonah who was punished severe

The Lord of Abraham who told his people to beware
the idols they worshipped brought no joy or despair

The Lord of Isaac and Ishmael who you did spare
The Lord of Joseph the handsome who was judged unfair

The Lord of Moses and Aaron the magnificent pair
The Lord of Jesus the son of the virgin, I swear

The Lord of Muhammad the honest and trustworthy heir
of the message preceded by thy prophets here

The Most Merciful to whom no other can compare
The All Hearing All Seeing who does not err

In You I believe and in your path I ware
Your assistance I seek in every situation and every lair

Your mercy your guidance: salvation here and there
I testify O Protector i'm aware i'm aware

O Most High O Enricher O Expediter O Delayer
Protect me O Allah from the evil of Satan's snare

Save me from the torment of hellfire's flare
and grant me heavens and trees that fruits they bear

To Muhammad thy prophet I send my peace and my prayer
Praise to you alone O Majestic King O Source of all care
