Marriage = Dating? NOT.

Another great video reminder by Nouman Ali Khan. May Allah make those of us who are single to marry for the right reasons. Ameen.

The Meaning of Life Spoken Word Poetry



What are we doing here and where are we going to go
It's like we just woke up one morning and then it's welcome to the show
Don't ask any questions just go with the flow
Make as much money as you can and try your best not to get broke
Copy everything you see on the tv
From the hairstyles to the clothes
And don't think too often just do exactly as you're told
You ever get confused then turn towards the alcohol
You still hear your thoughts? Then just turn up the radio
As you learn to live a lifestyle of drugs, sex and rock n roll

But in all honesty I just need to know
Is there more to the cycle than growing and getting old
Living and dying just to leave behind a happy home
And a whole lot of property that somebody else is going to own
I just really need to know before the caskets closed
Cause I'm not willing to gamble with my soul nor am I ready to take any chances
These are just simple life questions and I'm just searching for some answers
Like what are we doing here and what is our purpose?
How did we get here and who made us so perfect?
And what happens once we go or is this world all really worth it?
Questions we don't answer because apparently we don't really have to
There's no purpose to this life and our existence merely natural?
In that case please let me ask you.

Did you create yourself or was it somebody else that had fashioned you?
Because you're a being that's impeccable, faultless, and unparalleled.
You are a product of supreme intelligence and I'm merely being rational
For there isn't a camera on this earth that can come close to the human eye
Nor a computer that can compete alongside the human mind
And if the whole world was to come together we wouldn't be able to create a single fly
So many signs yet we still deny
As science tries to justify that all this could come from none
When it's a simple sum
Zero plus zero plus zero cannot possibly ever give you one.

So from where did all this order come?
For everything has it's origins, a maker, a creator of it's own
I mean the only reason your watching this video is because somebody had to press upload
So you can believe in the Big Bang but I'd rather Believe in He who caused it to explode.
Allah, the creator of the universe along with every single soul
The Everliving, the Master the only one who is in control
Unlike his creation, beyond our imagination and NO
He's not a man nor has he any partners in association, He's on his own.
And neither did He ever leave us alone
Just like every manufacturer he left us with an instruction manual
The Quran and Islam and I'm sorry to jump to conclusions but it's the only one possible.
The only definition of God as the One and Only, supreme being its logical,
A book with zero contradictions and miracles that are both scientific and historical.

All revealed over 1400 years ago
Like the detailed description of the human embryo
To the mountains as pegs holding firm the earth below
and the two seas that don't mix in a complete separate flow
to the planets in orbit alternating night and day as they stay in float
The expansion of the Universe and the creation of everything from H20
to the stories of the past and the preservation of Pharaoh.
To identifying the lowest point in the land where Persia defeated Rome
The gushing fluid that created man in the glands between the ribs and the backbone.
And not a word has changed it's still the same
So please explain how all this was known over 1400 years ago?
To a man who couldn't read or write, as he would recite what the angel spoke.
And if you still don't believe please come up with something that's even close.
But you can't.
So we took God as a mockery and his Messengers as a joke
Dismissed his scriptures as legends and tales of the ancient folk.

As we live life according to our whims, desires and hopes
Saying this life is the only home we will ever know
We will live then die and simply turn to bones YOLO.
Correction: After the grass dies the rain arrives and it re-grows
And Allah promises to do the same thing to your very soul
And bring you back from your very fingertips to your toes.
As the All Seeing Supreme Being watches us so close as we are surely being tested.
In our wealth, our health, our self and everything that we've been blessed with
So believe for we will surely be resurrected.
And be brought back to our Lord in account for every single deed
As He hands us our books and orders us to "READ!"
From the bad to the good and everything in between
You, yourself are sufficient for your own accountability
So don't be mad at me,
(Your Lord says,) "You were the one who thought you wouldn't come back to me.
I gave you a whole life long to search after me."
But you were busy chasing all that which was temporary
So read, and glad tidings to all those who believed, but if you disbelieve
READ
And don't let that day be the first day you find out what life really means.
READ.
