Islamic Poetry. This poem is based on reflections I made from first portion Surah Baqara - the 2nd chapter of the Quran. In the verses 1-5 Allah talks about the believes who will be successful in the hereafter, He says that they believe in the unseen, establish prayer,spend out from their provision, believe in the Quran and the previous scriptures and that they have certainty in the hereafter. Then Allah goes on to talk about the disbelievers in verses 6-7. However , this poem in based from reflections made from verses 8-16 where Allah talks about the hypocrites. In these verses He exposes the dual nature of the hypocrites. As for the hypocrite , he will have to face a very painful punishment as his heart and actions did not sync, i.e. he only pretended to be a believer in order to gain benefits and was in fact disbelieving in his heart. They were opportunists who thought they had correct knowledge while they didn't. They caused corruption on land and considered those who believe as fools. This is because their minds were Dunya oriented, and considered the sacrifices made by the believers as a foolish decision. But why did they not believe in Allah? This is because they failed to recognize Him due to their choice of darkness over light. Let us take a moment and analyze ourselves, ask yourself the question, "Does my action reflect my belief?"

I put the grocery bags down after coming inside the house, setting my keys on the counter and placing the bags on the table, putting the stuff away, until I heard a voice. &quot;FATIMA, FATIMA!&quot; Mama was calling me, hm I wonder what for and why did she sound excited as well? &quot;Yes mama?
