The Future Belongs to ISLAM

- not a threat but a promise!

ISLAM is as old as the universe
Created by Allah to disperse
Darkness, disorder, uncertainty
Replacing all that with unity

Perfectly crafted and made to last
It is not for those who live in the past
Nor is it for dreamers who zig-zag along
Unable, or unwilling, to tell right from wrong
Nor is it for educated fools
Who would never accept that Allah rules
And with their last breath still insist:
"If it cannot be measured it does not exist!"
No, not for all those, it is instead
For people seeking the straight path ahead
And Islam is proving again and again
The choice of rational women and men

For Islam appeals to the intellect
It is so simple, clear and direct
It compels you to question, seek knowledge and think
And is surely that all-important link
Between man and his Maker, and was always there
But we have to seek it if we want our share
Of the benefits which so many ignore
That connection is easy to restore
Unlikely as at first it may seem -
Just follow the faith of Ibraheem

Islam was made to heal, not harm
There is nothing to fear, no cause for alarm
Do nothing, don't move, don't worry, stay calm
But accept that the future belongs to ISLAM

Above all else, Islam makes sense
Realise this and you will dispense
With faiths like Christianity
And its preposterous Trinity
Which the brightest most highly trained
Scholars have not yet explained
It is not in the Bible so who made it up?
Will the questions ever stop...

Reason alone will lead you to say
Politely to Jesus: "Get out of my way -
Your presence is no longer needed here
Though you may be scheduled to reappear
Inshallah, sometime, somewhere, somehow
But that's for the future, please leave me now"

The last book of Allah is different
To what came before, it was not meant
For just one specific time and place
But for all time and the whole human race
At a stroke the previous made obsolete
The older scriptures just cannot compete
With this revelation, compare with the rest
And agree the Quran is simply the best

Islam was made to heal, not harm
There is nothing to fear, no cause for alarm
Do nothing, don't move, don't worry, stay calm
But accept that the future belongs to ISLAM

Now for the skeptics, some words of advice:
Living together in peace would be nice
Resistance is futile but fight if you must
Though the battle of wills is already lost

Morally crippled and it must be said
Spiritually just about brain-dead
The West is unfit to be in control
Of so much of the world, that vital role
Should pass to people with a higher goal
Than corporate America's only creed:
Greed, greed, insatiable greed
[Or if the reader prefers:]
Soft power, hard power, greed pure greed
[Or if the reader prefers:]
Production, pollution, profits, greed

Political systems come and go
Which was the first we may never know
The closest to perfection yet
May well have been The Caliphate
Across the Muslim world they yearn
For its revival and return

So it should come as no surprise
That pure Islam is on the rise
Everywhere you care to look
Take note you People of the Book
And everyone else, for the time is near
NO! - It is already here:

Statistics show that one in five
Of all the humans now alive
Is a Muslim and the clear trend
Is that it will never end
Soon it will be one in four
So brace yourselves for even more!

Islam was made to heal, not harm
There is nothing to fear, no cause for alarm
Do nothing, don't move, don't worry, stay calm
But accept that the future belongs to ISLAM
