When I say. . .I am a Muslim
I’m not shouting " down with Christians and Jews."
I am whispering "I seek peace,"
and Islam is the path that I choose.
When I say. . . I am 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 am 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 am 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 am a Muslim
I’m not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are indeed visible,
but Allah forgives because his followers are worth it.
When I say. . .I am 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 am a Muslim
I do not wish to judge.
I have no such authority
My duty is to submit to Allah’s all-encompassing love
When I say. . .I am a Muslim
I’m not shouting " down with Christians and Jews."
I am whispering "I seek peace,"
and Islam is the path that I choose.
