While others sit on the couch
Eyes glued to the TV screen
Or closed to the sound of music,
You sit on the concrete floor
in a cold empty room,
Shivering and naked you silently fight,
Allah in your mind,
Dua on your lips,
A finger tasbeeh
And the sound of a struggling breath
Fills the silence of your solitude.
Tortured, raped and forced against your religion,
You stand brave and bold with trust in Allah
Amidst a silent protest.
But do not fear, my dear muslim,
Your prayers will be answered because Allah
Has a plan for all of us
And he accepts the duas of the oppressed first.
Your Lord has made it such
That we all know of the injustice done
Towards our fellow muslims.
Never forget who you are,your religion
And that Allah has a plan for you
So don't give up hope in the Almighty.
Even though these are just words on a page
Written by a child who understands only half
Of the excruciating pain and suffering you are experiencing,
Your duas are worth gold because Allah accepts
The duas of the oppressed.
(Zahraa Suleman)
