When I say..I am a muslim

I am muslim and I am proud of it :)

When I say. . .I’m a muslim,

I’m not shouting. . .“I am the best”

I am whispering . . .“I seek peace”

and Islam is the path that I choose.

When I say. . . I’m a muslim,

I speak of this with pride.

And confess that sometimes I stumble,

and need ALLAH to be my guide.

When I say. . .I’m a muslim,

I know this makes me strong,

And in those times when I am weak,

I pray to ALLAH for strength to carry on.

When I say. . . I’m a muslim,

I’m not boasting of success,

I’m acknowledging that ALLAH has rescued me,

and I cannot ever repay the debt.

When I say. . .I’m a muslim,

I’m not claiming to be perfect.

My flaws are indeed visible,

but ALLAH forgives because ALLAH is the most forgiving.

When I say. . .I’m a muslim,

It does not mean I will never feel pain,

I still have my share of heartaches,

which is why I invoke ALLAH’S name.

When I say. . .I’m a muslim,

I do not wish to judge,

I have no such authority,

My duty is to submit to ALLAH’s all-encompassing love.

By Allah is my only hope, Allah is enough for me  :’)
