Guantanamo
Allah the Just, the Merciful.
That must be so
otherwise human beings
would have no conception
of justice or mercy
which is a solemn thought.
Suppose,
and there is no reason that this should not be true,
Allah
watches the unfolding Guantanamo saga
and considers thus:
'That the ignorant of all nations
cry for revenge,
I weep over.
But that those who know the Law
and blazon it as their nation's badge of pride
and then make exception
without remedy,
for years,
that is a crime a hundred times greater.
So I, Allah, the Just, the Merciful,
will allow this injustice to capture the mind
of a hundred Muslim youths
for every detainee;
of these, some may understand the Law;
and weep with Me;
some may ignorantly, cry for revenge
and act it out.
Is this not just and merciful?
It is the Law of ignorance.
Just suppose
He thinks that way.

If Allah do any harm to you
No one else but Allah can remove it
If He wants to do some good to you
There's none to keep back His favors a bit
He gives it to the servants of His liking
And He is the Most Forgiving Merciful Being.

Haven't you thought it over already
How Allah sets forth an allegory
Kalema-A-Taiyeba is like a good tree
Whose root is firm and will never die
And whose branches are in the sky.
It bears fruit in every season
By the permission of its Lord
And Allah sets forth allegories
So that they may learn lesson.
And an evil Kalema is like a bad tree
When it's uprooted, it loses stability.
Allah confirms those
Who believe in Kalema-A-Taiyeba
In this life and in the life-after
And Allah keeps the oppressors confused forever
And Allah does whatever makes Him happier.
N.B. -Allah's happiness is more than His sorrow
That's why Allah is happy.
Kalema-A-Taiyeba is the Muslim's Holy Word -
There's no god but Allah
Mohammad is the messenger of Allah.

Those who spend their property
In the way of Allah the Giver
Their reward will be like a grain growing seven ears
With a hundred grains in every ear
And Allah multiplies reward for whom He cares
And Allah is the Ample-Giving Wise Teacher.
And those who spend their property
In the way of Allah the Giver
Then do not follow up
With reproach or injury
They shall have their reward
From Allah the Wise Teacher
And they shall have no fear
And they won't be sorry.
Kind words and mercy
Is better than charity
Followed by injury
And Allah doesn't need anything
And He is forbearing.

You should go for almsgiving
To the poor who are confined in Allah's way
Because they can not do anything for their living.
The ignorant people think they are well off
Because they do not ask for anything
You can recognize them by this sign
They do not beg by flattering
And whatever good thing you give
Surely Allah knows it.

Will never ever be successful.

O the believers! Don't make your charity
Worthless by reproach and injury
Like them who spend their property
To show they are better
And do not believe in Allah and the life-after
So they are like a smooth rock with earth upon it
Then a heavy rain falls upon it
Consequently it leaves the rock hard and bare
So it's loud and clear
They will be unable to get benefit from their earnings
And Allah doesn't guide the unbelieving human beings.
