On 4th October 2002 I saw a segment of Oprah Winfrey show, where they were showing the treatment and condition of Muslim women in many Muslim countries, the segment that I watched had to do with Pakistan, looking at their disfigured faces and bodies and hearing their sad stories it broke my heart.

What if - - -

 

What if miraculously today  Rasulullah (S. A.) came back to our society

Would he be pleased with the people of his Umma and their definition of piety

 

I think displeased would be an understatement of his condition

He would be devastated  and livid with anger and infuriation

 

He made acquiring ilm faraz on all men and women

In the majority of muslim countries it is like the pre-Islamic condition

 

He gave women many rights that didn’t exist before Islam

All those rights have been taken away by Wahabis and Taliban

 

Women are beaten and burned for lack of  excessive dowry

Such dastardly acts are not done even by people like Maori

 

Throwing acid on the face and body of your own wife to disfigure

She is your lover and mother of your children, you  go figure

 

To perform any acts of shar and gunah the man is ready and willing

If his wife or sister digresses even slightly, he will do the honor killing

 

Jihad is one of the pillars of Islam, it means striving for self-improvement

Terrorists have hijacked it as suicide bombings to settle political argument

 

The cause for all this mayhem in Islam is such varied interpretations

Too many self appointed fatwa-makers twisting Quranic citations

 

Illiteracy among muslim men and women is extremely high

Fatwa-makers manipulate their brains, and fill them with lies

 

Would Rasulullah be able to bear such slander

I am afraid he would not, if I can speak with candor

 

What they need is a guide and a rehbar who is solid in Aale Mohammed’s ilm

Well-versed in Quranic injunctions, Fiqh, history and still has hilm

 

Our Maola Mohammed Burhanuddin is such a guide and rehbar

We are proud of his guidance, he is Maola Saifuddin’s dilbar

 

He actively promotes women’s education, dini or secular

You won’t get their fragrance if you abuse your wife, they are your flower

 

If Rasulullah (S. A.) came back and met our Dai, he would surely kiss his peshani

Our doa is, may our Dai live healthy ta qiyamat as our rehbar noorani
