Becoming One



“I and the father are One” Assimilate Rahman to Sabur,

“Remember Me, and I’ll remember you.” (Dhikr).

“Where I am, you may be also,” wrapped up in 99 names,

We can be (“an image of”) but not Him, not the same.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the… God,

Not begotten, nor begets a twisted story of Nimrod.

“You’ll do greater, because I go to the father.” (understanding),

“Be, and it is.” Kun Faya Kun, over and over oft repeating.

Created only and simply to worship Him and Him alone,

“I breathed into Adam of My Own Essence.” Adam’s soul.

“There is no god, but God (Allah).” His Oneness Supreme,

“The things I do, you’ll do greater.” I in you, still living.

“From Me you came, and to Me you all shall return,”

Everything and Everyone (One with God) as we learn.

The Jews and the Christians believe, yet still deny,

“…and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;”

Muslims hold the truth but seems to have quit,

“…and breathed into him something of His spirit.”

“The souls of men were once as a gathered army,”

Breath by breath shaping and molding History.

“…worship him in spirit and in truth.” Repetition,

“… and he became a living sole.” (Inside of a human).

the immaterial essence, or actuating cause of a life,

Times two becoming one, through Eve, his wife.

The beginning of understanding truly oneself,

“Take four birds and commit them to yourself.”

“Obey Me.” “Worship Me alone.” The Commandments

“On these two commandments… law and the prophets.”

“Iqra (Read in the name of your Lord who created you),”

Books of instructions (Adam to Muhammad), Proof.

“Study to show thyself approved,” join us, its time,

Our Movement (Change evil with hands, mouth, and mind).

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…
