"Dear Youth"

~~~~~~

"Raise your hands in Dua, fellow youth,

Bow your heads in humilty.

Gain the knowledge to conquer kingdoms

And feel the power of Allah Ta'aala's bounty

~~~~~~

HE has given you the gift of youth,

Of vibrance and exhuberance unrelenting.

Prostrate before Him in Salaah,

Submit to Islam unashamedly

~~~~~~

Stand tall, each the brother of the next

In harmonious agreement that Allah is one.

When bullets are aimed at you,

Be the wall that reflects them back

~~~~~~

Youth of Islam, be loud in truth

And never silent in persecution

In your hearts, carry the Qur'aan Shareef-

Never forget, Allah Ta'aala is your solution

~~~~~~

Always protect this Divine religion,

You would not be if He did not desire.

Be the flame that lingers, dear youth

Gather strength from Islam to Build empires"
