An Oasis for the Muslim World

Lost in the desert is the youth's caravan Clueless about who is God's man? Who will answer their questions? Who will lead their generation?

Our society is devoid of a hero Perpetually stranded at point zero Blinded by caprice, ego, and lust Ignorant of the covenant and trust

The angels are yet to be proven wrong Where is the man of conviction so strong?

Mental health has become a crisis Is distraction from misery a bliss?

Social media is the diet of the senses No soaring thought, no clear lenses

Vulgarity fills the eyes of people The will for restraint grows feeble

Spirituality has become a name for pretense The dearth of authenticity is immense

Novices ridicule the giants of the past Without whom Islam could never have last

Is reverence for saints a superstition? Is genuine scholarship now a fiction?

Can we separate the message from the messengers? Is the journey complete without the passengers?

Are classical modes of learning obsolete? Can there be burning without the heat?

There is a fear within the youth's mind Religion means a life of a boring kind

Dogma and rituals alone bring no elation The search for truth grants emancipation

When faith's true essence is revealed The vessel of confusion is sealed

When the station of gnosis is reached Escape from emptiness is no longer beseeched

How can we rise above decadence? How can we reclaim our significance?

Political and economic revival are not the root They are merely the tree's fruit

Civilizational renaissance is the goal The rejuvenation of mind, heart, and soul

The restoration of that worldview The criterion of false and true

Our legacy is too rich to fade away It nourishes the intellect even today

It fills the void of the modern man Who stands at odds with the Divine plan

It raises the spirit beyond the sky It grants the seeker an inner eye

It lifts the veils that leave us blind Revealing reality of a different kind

It gives birth to polymaths and sages Whose insights transcend all ages

Where logic does not defy revelation Observation complements contemplation

Science does not displace religion Philosophy embraces spiritual intuition

Modernity does not mock tradition Diversity does not lead to division

No branch of knowledge is viewed with suspicion Specialization does not create fragmentation

Purity of intent beautifies every decision Human striving emanates from divine provision

No blame is cast upon the external condition All accountability lies in inner submission

Collective benefit surpasses personal ambition Every deed is part of a grand vision

Every narrative revolves around the Creator Every method traces back to His Messenger ﷺ

Death is not an end but a transition Its preparation is the natural disposition

Art, literature, calligraphy, or any composition Higher ideals are pursued instead of exhibition

Every book is a creative, original exposition Bestowing upon us a fresh interpretation

In the eyes of God, we seek recognition With indifference to societal validation

Serving Islam alone is the ignition With the devil remains our competition

Quran and Sunnah form our nutrition The lives of saints fill us with inspiration

Each believer bears a divine mission Each prayer holds a silent confession

The Sufi and the scholar are at peace Piercing through truth piece by piece

Creating ways to let the spirit soar Reasons to let faith's lion roar

Only that walk is called a path Where the human self takes a bath

Where patience is the sword Gratitude is the magic wand

Greatness is not reaching the stars But becoming the human you truly are

Every word, an echo of sacrifice Every act, a window to paradise

God's remembrance fills all leisure Sagacity is sought like treasure

Virtue flourishes beyond measure A brother's success brings pleasure

Sects do not conspire against one other The call for unity is now or never

O Muslims, do not weep at your plight A day is destined to succeed the night

Bring back the truthfulness of Abu Bakar The power of Umar

Usman's chastity The wisdom of Ali

The Prophet's ﷺ four dimensions Pillars of an Islamic revolution

Thrive in that generation's shadow Whose colours alone form a rainbow

On the Night of Ascension, God defied physics For His Beloved ﷺ, there were no limits

Where Gabriel was denied even a step ahead The two lovers gained proximity head to head

The two mirrors reflected one another A spectacle beyond the reach of wonder

The fabric of time and space bows to that maestro Who breathes only for Muhammad's ﷺ manifesto!
