The Early Jihad (Struggle)

by Abu Hamzah bin Yusuf Alamo

The morning was cold as he rose out of bed

tried to remember Allah in his head

applied Ahl-us-Sunnah as soon as he woke

praising Allah with the first words he spoke

then he made wuhdoo until all complete

same as he learned it, wash and repeat

made it a point to stretch out with his back

brushed all his teeth with a trusty miswak

dressed in a robe of Islamic fashion

looking the part of a Muslim in action

adding one last bit of flavor and spin

wrapping his head in an Arab turban

making real sure not to miss his suhoor

afterwards walking straight out of the door

having intention to join the Jama'ah

praying with brothers in Fajr Salaah

Sister, you are more than you think

by Abu Hamzah bin Yusuf Alamo

By the One who holds my soul

made the worlds and has control

do you really mean to say

jealousy has had it's way?

You bought the lie and now you've quit

because you feel inadequate

a girl you feel has more to give

than what you have with how you live

Sister simple truth be told

your excuse has gotten old

fact is sister what you're in

is a mess from evil jinn

stop believing Shaitan's lies

make wuhdoo and wash your eyes

take the time to go repent

save you from some punishment

Allah can get you through this pain

heed my words, don't go insane

the things you say are not unique

to someone with a kufr streak

let me right now tell you something

you are not an empty nothing

you are more than flesh and bones

make-up, hair, and color tones

can't get pregnant, can't have kids

doesn't matter what it is

just be grateful for a man

Allah may send unto your hand

make stighfar before you sleep

don't just get by counting sheep

and pray Ar-Rabb your soul to keep
