Inspired by Shaykh Amin’s khutbah yesterday and Umar Shakur’s moving verse, O Gaza.
Here far away from burning Palestine
We find it all so inconvenient
To watch our words and walk the blurry line
Between the truth and counterfeit dissent
Just STOP! Return your gaze to Gaza now
That in the face of sure destruction they
Conduct a blessed masterclass in how
Believers hold their own when skies turn gray
The hamd upon their tongues and smiling faces
Their salawaat deodorizing fire
Janazah prayers in the unbombed spaces
The road of taqwa only takes them higher
The prophet dug the trench but stood up tall:
Believers do not give up when they fall
