If they analyze the situation as thoroughly as they should, Muslims will realize they are the first targets. What are the fundamentalists really after? Simply taking over Islam and then turning its back on modernity.

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

The values of Islam are expressed by Muslims clearly. September 11 changed the world, and put Muslims on the spotlight.

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.

All theory of modernity in sociology suggests that the more modernity there is, the less religion. In my theory we can realize that this is wrong: atheism is only one belief system among many.

The Media and Islam
Today many Muslims face discrimination
Because of the Middle Eastern situation
I can't walk in the park, without hearing a racist remark
I'll rather sit peacefully alone in the dark
Rather than promote his ideas with a harsh trademark
It seems discriminating me is part of their interest
They automatically assume I'm an Al-Qaeda terrorist
And yet I'm the one being called racist
Why do I have to hear these racial slurs?
How much more of this do I have to endure?
Stop being arrogant and let's confer
Before another false media outbreak occurs
All this terrorism in Islam was introduced recently
When Islam has been around 1400 years humbly
You need to look into this more deeply
Because this has extended to a colossal degree
I know there are plenty of rabbi's out there that agree with me
You've been informed about my religion falsely
But you think it's funny
When my fellow Muslims endure the U.S.'s fury
It is the U.S. who is guilty
Because they're the one's causing all this hostility
The truth is scary
And nobody wants to do anything sadly
But it’s best to live wisely
Then take information blindly
We follow Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) : he's the last of all messengers
He told us to be kind and love each other because we're all brothers
Whether we have different ethnicity or nationality
We all derived from Adam and Eve in actuality
He taught us Arkan Al-Islam
Testimony, go Hajj, give charity, fast and pray
Shoulder to shoulder five times a day
With it we must have sincere intention and true Imaan
It's best to combine it with the pillar of Ihsaan
He came to us with a beautiful message
He was an illiterate man who possessed life changing knowledge
But the media portrays Muhammad and his followers with false information and images
Now everyone thinks and treats us like we're incivilized savages
It's all fake, none of it is true
Why can’t you see the truth, what’s wrong with you
It's a media breakthrough that simply outgrew
It leads to another issue we cannot undo
What's the point, do I even have to argue
Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan... it seems we're all on the menu

You have to be realistic about terrorism. Certain groups of people, certain groups, Muslim fundamentalists, Christian fundamentalists, Jewish fundamentalists, and just plain guys from Montanta, are going to continue to make life in this country very interesting for a long, long time.

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.

Naturally
Verse1:
Sorry if I didnt do this, didnt do that
Its just that I dont know you anymore
What turns you on,
What has been turning you off
cause I hear you talking behind closed doors
What do they say all these friends of yours
And why are they no longer friends of mine
Do they remember
Chorus:
When we didnt have to touch
Its just that it meant so much
And all hesitation was gone
We didnt analyze
We didnt have to do anything
It just came naturally
Verse2:
Wasnt it you who used to read my mind
Id pick up the phone and you were there
Now its as if you are a step behind
It was an effortless affair
Under the moon I made promises
That I really thought Id keep back then
Do you remember
Chorus
Bridge:
I dont want to let go
Id be letting down you and me and everyone
That hung their hopes upon
Our love and our trust
Where has all the goodness gone?
Do you remember
Chorus:
We didnt have to touch
Its just that it meant so much
And all hesitation was gone
No we didnt analyze
We didnt have to realize anything
It just came naturally

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
