The Simple Garment

Poem written by : Nargis Rahman (England)
I am a Muslim,

A proud Muslim,

A lady with strong beliefs,

Why should I hide that fact?

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

The comments, the looks, the sniggering,

Don’t care what people think,

I will still hold my head high,

I will still walk with bliss and dignity.

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

So simple is the garment,

Yet so effective at its job,

Protecting me from the eyes of the world,

Reminding me of Allah.

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

Stop….look….and think,

Do you truly want to be amongst the ignorant?

Do you truly want the lustful world?

Is it really worth sacrificing your Imaan?
