Faith! Poem by Shahzia Batool

Faith!

Rating: 3.6


Do you want to know?

What faith you follow?

Pray do not go for names and labels

Labels do not really matter

As religions do not go by brands

But goodness, substance, quality!

For what good do labels do?

Can anyone say he follows that brand of faith?

Where lies are not told,

In which hearts are not broken,

Where honors are safe from brutal hands,

Cheating is not Neatly done

Brothers do not kill brothers

Where devils do not appear divine

Where sham wars are not waged by killing the innocent?

Are we not taught that killing a human is killing the humanity?

True following of goodness norms

Forms the figure of your faith

Actions will be valued as good

If intentions will be pure

where caste and colour, race and creed

are not really followed

Do you want to know?

What religion you follow?

Well, seek for it in the fairness you think

and the goodness you do

faith is the fusion of pure preaching and fine following

We’ll justify being the human beings

If than all things we place the faith above

By staying good for following

Just goodness, peace and love! ! !

Well said Shahzia - the only true religion is based on love for humanity and its practice.

So true as long as we have faith, love and the will to help others. From us all this could unite the world as one.

this is what we are preaching but someone takes it wrong..... Religions are revealed but for the sake of human and not humans are created for religion... nice thoughts......

Strong and direct, relevant write. Religion is not about God nor is God about religion. He is looking for intimate relationship with us - we don't find that by joining a religion, we find Him by seeking Him - and He finds us.
