A DIALOGUE WITH NATIONS

In the Name of Allah (God) do I begin,

In the Name of the One Who is,

The Compassionate, the Merciful,

There is nothing like unto Him.

Then I humbly offer my salutation of peace,

To Prophet Muhammad, the harbinger of peace.

It's through him that souls are defined,

It's through him that souls are refined,

It's through him that all mankind,

Has received the Message of peace.

Sincere is my appeal to my fellowmen,

In all the wide, spread out land,

May my Lord give flow to my words,

So that you all may understand.

I appeal with a passage from the Quran,

addressed to us all as a whole,

"O mankind, adore your Gaurdian Lord,

Who created you from one soul."

And from that soul create its mate,

And from the two, made nations, whole."

Some are humble and some are great,

But it is up to us to remember,

That all of us have been made equal,

That in God's sight nobody is great.

We have become tribes and nations,

So that we may learn about civilization.

Some belong to Asia, some to Europe,

Some to Africa, some Australia,

Some come from the Americas,

Some even live in Antarctica.

But it doesn't matter where we come from,

We are all humans with the same form,

Our ancestral strains are all similar,

Be we at the two Poles or the Equator.



This is my plea to all men and women,

Who make the communities of all nations:

Let's not work mischief in the land,

Be it on the hills or the desert sands.

Let's help each other in doing good,

Let one and all earn their livelihood.

Let the rich share their wealth with the poor,

And be kind to the wayfarer.

Let us strive against exploitation,

Be it of man, child, or woman.

May all of us who are far and near,

Spread the message of peace and vanquish fear.

Let us pledge on every occasion,

That we shalln't be lured by lust and passion.

That we shall strive against poverty and hunger,

And eliminate lawlessness on every border.

Let us all agree with determination,

That we all shall become one great nation.

United in the bonds of harmony and peace,

So that hatred and war-mongering seize.

A personal message to all the enlightened men, women and children of this beautiful planet.

This is a honest call to the human republic to embrace peace and live in accordance with the will of God; to move away from human frailty and restrain to misuse the holy scriptures to pursue ungodly interests. A good poem inspired by the spirit of God. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, with these words, if all believe, we shall be one great world. One in which He will glorify. We must stand strong against evil. It may never go away, maybe it will ebb, as the tide, and realize that good has won. Peace and Love Linda

Very few would read these words and understand, yet this is the road, the way to peace.
