Isn’t it time to come back to Allaah?

Isn’t it time to come back to Allaah?


We were once lost in the gloom of ignorance

Plunged deep in the heart of unawareness

Worshipping dumb idols made of stone

“Who would resurrect us, flesh and bone?”

 

We would shed blood for petty reasons

Remaining in war throughout the seasons

We would bury baby girls, no mercy did we feel

Nothing seemed cruel to those hearts of steel

 

And just when it seemed that we were doomed

In front of our eyes our destruction loomed 

Allaah, the Merciful and the Almighty 

Sent us Muhammad…. a Guidance, a Mercy

 

He brought us out of darkness into light

He guided us, he showed us wrong from right

As we Submitted, Imaan filled our hearts 

That’s where the great story of our Triumph starts

 

Under his leadership we conquered the world

With all of its treasures…. at our feet unfurled

With Imaan in our hearts so strong so bright

No one could defeat us, such was our might

 

The strongest authority one had ever heard

Our only mission…. to spread Allaah’s Word

We were good Muslims…. with patience and piety

We were One Ummah…. all brothers with sincerity 

 

But now those blessed days are all but gone. 

Now things have been turned upside down

Muslims and Islaam are looked down upon. 

Where is our Glory? Where is our Dawn?

 

The world is killing us, tearing us apart

They are eating away at our very heart

We are despised, reviled….we’re humiliated

We’ve lost our honor, we’re subjugated

 

“They will invite each other to attack you,” he said

“Just as to a feast,” he foretold years ahead 

“But why, O Messenger of Allaah?” they said.

“Love of the Dunya and hatred of death,”

 

What will it take… for you to realize?

What’s going to make you open your eyes?

What will make you hear the children crying?

Do you not see your brothers and sisters dying?

 

How can you remain silent when you see the aggression 

Why are you not moved when you see the oppression

Did you, O Dear Muslim, ever ask….“Why?” 

Why are we so low, though once sky high?

 

It’s because we strayed away from Allaah

Its because we forgot the laws of Sharee’ah

Its because we forgot there’s a Day of Judgment

We just got lost in the Worldly enjoyment

 

We followed our desires, we neglected the prayer

We abandoned the Sunnah….we just didn’t care

But even in these times of shame and desperation

YOU have the power to change the situation

 

If each one of us will change for the better

Our strength will surely be put back together

Repent to Allaah….come back to the Sunnah

Mend your ways….that will renovate the Ummah

 

Keep the Qur’aan close to your side

Make the Prophet your beloved Guide

And in this tough time of hardship and despair 

Don’t forget the ultimate power of prayer

 

Allaah says, “O You who believe!”

If you help Allaah, surely He will relieve…

All of your burdens…. all of your sorrow

Soon there will be a brighter tomorrow

 

So get up O Muslims! Time to take a stance!

If Allaah is with us, no one stands a chance!

Haven’t we been humiliated enough?

Hasn’t there been plenty of rough?

 

Why are you asleep? Wake up O Ummah!

Isn’t it time to come back to Allaah??!!
