Centuries ago, great minds and characters
Fought to uphold Islam in its true essence
Of knowledge and wisdom, they were masters
Their spirituality and akhlaq were never absent

They struggled and sacrificed
So you and I can coexist in peace
Friends and families killed before their eyes
Their lives were not of ease

They strove for unity, not division
Yet they were faced with rejection and humiliation
Assassination, poisoned, prisoned
Were ways of their deaths without reason

Today from within we see enmity
Blurred by confusion, ignorance and naivety
Victims of hearsay and hypocrisy
Deterring progression from a community

The eyes are the door of contemplation
The tongue can be vile if untamed
The ears are the gates to verification
The mind will wither if left unclaimed

So brother in faith these walls of hostility must fall
For us to realise the real enemy and eradicate tyranny
Let us seek to understand, knowledge is for all
Only then can we actually live in harmony
