If
a poem for graduating seniors
By Mahasin Shamsid-Deen

If you can keep your Islam
When everyone around you is losing theirs
If you can trust and call on Allah
In all your concerns and daily affairs,

 

If you truly believe Allah is The Best Knower
When you think ‘you’ know this or that
And remember Allah is the Only Judge
And personal opinions don’t figure in that fact 

 

If you are constant in your Dawah
While you face the trials of this dunya
And make sure all your deeds and actions
Are in accordance with Quran and Sunnah 

 

If you can keep up your daily salat
And your fast during Ramadhan too
Even if at school away from home
You never forget they are required of you 

 

If you remember that even a smile is sadaqah
As you see your muslim sister every day
And make sure you offer the salaams
The moment you see a muslim coming your way 

 

If you keep taqwa in your heart
And grow strong in your Iman
Then your sisters in Islam welcome you
For you are now a - Muslim Woman 
 

“And who is better in speech than one who calls upon Allah, does good deeds and says, Lo – I am of those who are Muslim" (Holy Quran Surah 41: ayah 33)
