To: The Believers



Who are you? I am a Muslim. I am not a prefixed word before that. I am simply a Muslim, One who follows the Sunnah (teachings, ways, actions) of prophet Muhammad (SAW), and the righteous predecessors (ra). Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said to his followers: “Three generations after me and you will be of me no more.” He (SAW) didn’t lie; that has indeed happened. Now you have Sunni, Shiite, and more. That is the problem; we now have seventy-three sects of Muslims. There lies the division. Allah (SWT) says to the Prophet(SAW): “On this day have I perfected my favor upon you, completed your religion and give it the name Islam,” and we were called Muslims. Why do we divide ourselves with all of these titles we place in front of the word Muslim? All of the prophets were Muslim, and we are Muslims even though we follow the ways and the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). We can settle our differences later, but for now, we must all consider ourselves to simply be Muslims first.

About this poem

“If you’re scared then you need to leave now, This is no place for cowards. Some people were told to shut up and they did because they scared. Some people sold out and got paid, power, and or position.”

Raheem Muhammad

Active Revolutionist from Chicago, by way of New Jersey, Atlanta, Birmingham, and now NOLA; dedicating his life to establish a truly independent economic system for the poor and oppressed peoples of America first. Fighting for those faces you see and don't see on the websites: THE ARK PROJECT LLC THE BEEP INC. BEEP BLACK WALL STREET BOOKS I'm Muslim, I'm Black and I'm American so I guess I have three strikes against me LOL. I'm here reaching out to those concerned about the great divides that no-one wants to address and I'm here to address them head-on (Social Injustice, Islamophobia, Systematic Oppression, etc...). I am the author of this book: "Oh, Say Can You See!?" (Secrets) & Truth Is In The Art which shows how passionate I am about what was done and what continues to be done and ignored. Poetry is as a result of my life experiences as well as my opinions. They are my studies of the scriptures while paralleling them with history along with the present day's crimes against humanity, by those that claim to govern us. Keep in mind that my love for this country is beyond measure and incomparable. However, there are principles that a person ascertains to and therefore must stand upon. more…
