The extinction of race consciousness as between Muslims is one of the outstanding achievements of Islam, and in the contemporary world there is, as it happens, a crying need for the propagation of this Islamic virtue.

The Islamic Religion
You heard about the Islamic religion
Now I’m going to bring you to the Islamic institution
For an introduction
And initiation
And salutation
Of the one true religion
You will witness Muslims making invocation
During prostration
And supplication
After the completion
Of ablution
Your prayers will have acceptation
Only with sincerity and intention
We are not under physical subjection
But it is merely our decision
To enjoy complete submission
along with great appreciation
The our Lord of all Creation
It is an Islamic tradition
To have Eid as our only celebration
Where Muslims meet and come together in socialization
Islam is the largest religion
The Qur’an is its divine constitution
Muslims don’t bother to petition
Because they are all on a mission
Alhamdulillah I'm in this position
Muslims face a lot of discrimination
Because people have no satisfaction
For the Islamic religion
Which has a low reputation
Because of the Bush Administration
That started the Middle East’s bloody demolition
We will have our reincarnation
On the day of resurrection
To witness Allah’s domination
Over his creation
The believers will be under his protection
Who passed his examination
The disbelievers will witness their own destruction
Because With clear proof and conclusion
They failed to practice the universal religion

We have been given a role to play. We have been asked to provide, to give lectures on the role of Islamic development and the way we do it here, so the people who are Muslims there would understand what the role of Islam is.

Jihad
Jihad means struggle
In Islam most of the times
It refers to holy war
Jihad is the defense of Islam
If there was no Jihad
There would be no Islam
Jihad is obligatory for those
Who are driven away
From their motherland forcibly
Moreover
Jihad becomes obligatory
If the unbelievers wage War
Against the Muslims
Without any provocation
From the latter
However
Jihad is not obligatory
For the sick, women and children
Killing of innocent unbelievers
Is not supported by Islam
Thanks to Islam’s motto of peace

Mosque
A place of worship
Where muslims bow down before
Their Maker with utter devotion
Irrespective of race, cast and colour.
Mosque is the symbol of their unity,
The unity which distinguishes them from others.
Mosque is the citadel of Islam,
It is the symbol of its glory,
Mosque removes the distance
Between God and muslims.

I suppose that the media and their portrayal of Islam and the almost tribal separations and divisions of the Muslims are the greatest issues confronting Muslims in the United Kingdom.

All too many Muslims fail to grasp Islam, which teaches one to be lenient towards others and to understand their value systems, knowing that these are tolerated by Islam as a religion.

The idea is that they wouldn't want to deal with militant Islam but an Islam and Muslims who are committed to progress, committed to development, who like peace and are moderate in their ways. So that's what we are doing here.

Psychologically experienced consciousness is therefore no longer pure consciousness; construed Objectively in this way, consciousness itself becomes something transcendent, becomes an event in that spatial world which appears, by virtue of consciousness, to be transcendent.

Let me say this loud and clear. There is a world of difference between terrorist acts and the Islamic Shari'a. Islam is not only a religion, but a way of life. And at its heart lie the sacred principles of tolerance and dialogue.

If there are Muslims who believe that they've got to kill Christians to make a way for the Islamic faith in the West, not only would they be disappointed, but it will lead to conflict, there's no doubt about that.

Flower Of Mercy
Islam is a flower of mercy in the blooming seasons,
Peace is inherited due to hard spokes of a wheel,
And safety exhibits itself in the form of pleasure,
Pains reside in the souls of men who are wicked to
The souls so meek and refreshed.
Islam is a tree of health, to be exhaled by the forest,
Warning signs show the Islamic offspring lately,
Their showers are from the whispered tones of the clouds
And the water then drains into the ocean to relive.
Souls are meek on the Last Day.
