Have You Not Seen It Coming? Poem by Rubaba Mmahajia Rahma Sabtiu

And is the knowledge of the deen not fading?
Replaced by ignorance?
Has adultery not become widespread?
And alcohol so common
Don’t you see their advertisements on TV?
Do you know of the disease that has no cure?
Are the Muslims not also committing suicide?
Have you not seen it coming?
When Muslims are fighting each other over trivialities
When time is running as if it is being chased by a cheetah
When everyone is getting richer and richer
Have the women not dressed up
And yet are naked?
Don’t you see the rich sharing only with the rich?
As the poor gazed at them in their poverty
Have you not seen it coming?
Is the payment of zakat not a burden now?
And the worst of the people, now their leader
Is homosexuality not being forced down our throats?
In the name of human rights?
And the Muslims falling into the trap
Have you not heard of the war waged on Islam?
Have you not seen it coming?
When a virgin feels ashamed of her virginity
And the fornicator is proud to let everyone know
Don’t you see the pre-marital sexual nonsense?
And the innocent babies that come with it?
Have you not seen the woman who wants to be a man?
Did you not hear of the Muslim who calls himself liberal, Modernist?
So he could dodge the rules
And considers others fundamentalists
Those who hold onto the rules
Have you not seen it coming?
And then when I talk about the Dajjal, Anti-Christ
And Ya’ajuj and Ma’ajuj, Gog and Magog
Does it not come clear to you now?
That indeed you might have seen
