'Weaping of the Ummah' by Maryam Mohamed Ismail (2017)

I’m sorry oh believers of Burma that you were thrown in flames
Yeah, I know I am the fire...and I could hear that your heartbeat still remained
How is wish that Allah proclaimed
To stay calm and cool, like for Ibrahim (AS) I became
And i know your city was destroyed by me
But honestly it’s only the law of Allah I obey

Oh innocent souls i sincerely apologise
Because it was me they sued to cut and slice
The bodies of your children, fathers and wives
Though I wish that Allah told me to make myself blunt, in order to save lives
Like for Ibrahim (AS)’s sacrifice
But for now it’s only the law of Allah I abide by

And all those families in Syria, Iraq and Chechnya, I’m really sorry...
Flapping my wings i watch from up high of you being tortured and oppressed...
And each day I always worry
And my heart bleeds when I see you empty handed, trying to fight off these barrel bombs. Chemical weapons and sieges
And I wish Allah gave me an order to chuck stones at the unjust armies
Of Israel, Russia and America
Like I did for the army of Abraha
But right now I just have to obey the order of Allah

And all those sincere believers of Burma, Bangladesh and elsewhere
I’m awfully sorry they beat and whip you
And although they used me, it also hurt me too
To see you bleeding and wounded just for believing in Allah and his Rasul.
I wish that Allah ordered me to become a snake and break through
Or at least to frighten the unfair oppressors too
Like for Musa (AS) he told me to do

I’m deeply sorry oh believers of Syria, Burma and elsewhere
As I’m the deep blue sea and I see you there
And I saw that your country was so harsh to you, that’s why you fled to me in despair
And you were stranded for months on me with no food or water or warm clothes wear
Nor any life jackets to spare
But i wish to split myself was what Allah declared
Like for the Muslims of Musa (AS) I prepared

I’m sorry your rejected countries after countries continuously,
But let me tell you that I am the earth and I swear to you undoubtedly
That there is enough space on me for all of mankind to live peacefully
But it’s your own people who draw artificial lines and distribute me unevenly

I’m sorry of starving stomachs of Africa, I’m sorry you have no food to survise
I know I am food but i cannot provide
I’m wasted and thrown into bins by your own humankind!
There’s enough of me for all bodies to stay healthy and alive
But most of me is taken by just America and Saudi alike
Like I did for Maryam (RA), I wish Allah told me to provide
But now I just obey the law of Allah, so I truly apologise

Oh Muslims living in the West, I’m ever so sorry
I’m the wind and I see what goes on everywhere and everyday...
And upon seeing you being called isis, terrorist, extremist and other mean names
And for long security checks when they make you stay
Not knowing what new law to expect the very next day
And as the hijab bannes and co-swimming and prevent laws were claimed...
I ALWAYS CRY AND PRAY...!
That Allah tells me to blow you strong believers to a different place
Like for Sulayman (AS) I used to do the same way...
Its only the law of our lord which I obey

Ob belivers of Allah, don’t you lose hope or weep
We are the creations of Allah and we are witnesses for your abuse and cruelty
Just for believing in Allah and practicing his deen
But don’t you worry because you’re on the correct path of Deen
And as you cry at night, don’t you think that no one hears your tears
Because we all see and hear
Keep being patient as for you victory is near
And from your Lord you’ll gain priceless bounties
...just be patient of Ummah of Rasulullah, as this world is only temporary...

And the rest of the Ummah,
Do you know about the brothers and sisters struggles?
Or are you just trying to ignore their troubles...?
Just because they’re on the other side of the world and theyre not your actual blood brother
It doesn’t mean you sit back, relax and don’t bother
You Muslims are one Ummah and shouldn’t be divided by natural borders
And what about that Hadith that says you should be like one body as you’re all sisters and brothers...

When your brothers and sisters lives are being torn apart...
How can you enjoy your lives, flling your shopping carts?!

Imagine this was your actual blood brother, would you just share a few messages and donate a few pounds for them to stay alive?
But shouldn’t it be the same as you’re all one Ummah...when one part hurts...the rest all cry...

Is a miracle what your are looking to find...?
Because in your own homes is where it lies...
Al – Quran is for you to rely
The miracle is waiting for you to apply
And to implement it’s rules and abide by...

Like when Palestine was controlled by the Jews, like in this time
 Didn’t Salahud – Din – Ayyoobi liberae Palestine?
And when women were dishonoured in the Roman time
Didn’t Mu’thasim Billah deal with it like it was a crime?
He proteceted the honour of those women’s lives
And when it was the ruling of Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez’s time,
Did a single person lead a poor life?
No, not a single soul was left to die

SEE?! Didn’t these rulers deal with all these problems we face today? By implementing exactly what the Quran had to say....
So why can we not do the same?

The only way to end this Ummah’s suffereings...
Is to bring back Islamic rulings...
The weeping of the Ummah will come to an end...
When a great Islamic ruler stands by us and defends...
