OUR CREATOR

Our creator sends the rain, from drips to quench, to monsoons to revive

Our creator sends the snow, from drips to excite, to white blankets to fright

Our creator sends the hail, from stones to bash, to rocks to crash

Our creator sends the sun,

from rays to enjoy, to draughts that destroy Our creator sends the wind, from breezes to chill, to hurricanes that thrill

Jaria Sabir

CREATION BY ALLAH (SWT) Allah (SWT) made everything Whatever you see, wherever you go

The sun by day the moon at night The shining stars

Three kinds of light Plants, flowers, trees so tall

Boys, girls animals in all Whatever you see, wherever you go

Was made by Allah (SWT) Hashim

ALLAH (SWT)

Allah is the greatest of that lives He’s all forgiving and merciful He gives death and will resurrect

And I will try to be like you, never selfish or unkind You came to mankind to show us the way,

And inshallah we’ll meet you one day Hamza Dahya

FRIENDSHIP

A friend is like a flower

A rose to be exact Or maybe a brand new gate That never comes unlatched

A friend is like an owl Both beautiful and wise Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost

Whose spirit never dies A friend is like a heart

That goes strong until the end Where would we be in this world If we didn’t have a friend

Sakina

B Bibi Sakinah (who is also known as Bibi Rukaya) was 4 years old

I Imam Hussein is Bibi Sakinah’s father

B Bibi Sakinah the young Hashemite princess

I Imam Hussein loves Bibi Sakinah

S She was also a very religious princess

A “A house without Sakinah would not be worth living in” Imam Hussein said.

K Kind and loving that’s what she is

I Imam Hussein loved her very much

N Nobody can forget Bibi Sakina

A Abbas Ibne Ali loved her more than he did his own children

Aneeqa

PARENTS

You picked me up so many times When I was just a child

You dried my tears when I was sad You kept me by your side

You tried to make me go to school To do my best You wanted me to see the good

And sheltered me from the rest

So many times I hurt you With cruel words, I had said You know I dint mean them

And you love me anyway

If I had the choice to change my life And change my family I wouldn’t change a single thing

Because the best parents belong to me Meher

FRIENDSHIP Forever together

Respecting each other Involving everyone

Experiencing new things Never ending friendship Determined each other

Sharing is caring Helping each other Islam likes

Positive partners.

Fatema Najafi

BIBI ZAINAB

Bibi Zainab was just, a lady you could trust

In resilience she stood on Karbala's dust Bibi Zainab was always loving reassuring for Sakina in the prison of Shaam

In Yazeed's court she was strong and calm In the court yard of Yazeed, their escape she reconciled, in the speech she gave

Ali in her voice, Muhammad in her stance, The Ummah in her mind

when the musalaas of her sons were presented to her she mourned and wept but she never was weak

Zainab Bandali

DON'T FORGET...

A girl is an actress a boy is an actor

But don't forget, God is the director Hasibah Evans

TABLE MANNERS Table manners are important for instance Not to pick your nose To close your mouth when eating To chew and chew and chew Then after that, swallow Down your chest it goes Try not to cough over everyone's food "Alright bossy, fussy pant, Please be quite dude" I know I coughed out loud It was an accident mate. My food was burnt That's why I coughed. It must have come out of the oven late! Remember not to burp or act like a jerk when eating some ice-cream or swallowing baked beans. Maryam Mohammed

You held the bottle with your teeth But they shot an arrow in the mashk. We miss you Hazrat Abbas.

Karbala is a place of battle Not the best place to keep cattle Because of this, Imam Hussein gave his life

He sadly left his life The Imam's soldiers saved Islam Without them we wouldn't be here

Without the brave soldiers we would be full of fear.

Kaashif Ali Baig

PROPHET MUHAMMAD

When truth was lost and hearts frozen From you Allah came a chosen Prophet

Blessed Prophet Muhammad, obedient to you Taught us the things we ought to do.

He taught us for certain that you are one And that you have neither a daughter or son He taught us to be good to our mothers and fathers

and that paradise lies under the feet of our mother.

I love you my Prophet and sing your praise and follow your sunnah One day I will come to visit your tomb Inshallah that day will be soon.

Hassan Ali Naqvi

We've learnt the morals and now we're best friends Sadly, this will all came to an end

Where I really wish I still had a dad But you will always be in my heart and we will never be apart.

Aleen Kazmi

NAMAAZ

Namaaz is when I talk to my lord and thank him The first prayer is at the crack of dawn

When everyone's asleep, I wake up alone The content I feel when I pray namaaz Talking to my Lord, takes my worry away

Do your best and leave it in his hands He will take care of you in difficulty Such is the power of namaaz

And its strength in it all your wishes will come completely true

Zahra Najafi

NAMAAZ

We should always read namaaz Because we should thank Allah

for what He has given us. Allah has given us everything We should always read namaaz.

We should read namaaz five times a day When you read namaaz

You pray for something you want If Allah thinks it is good for you

Then Allah will give it to you Fatimah Rizvi

KARBALA

Karbala is special, ziyarat to Imam Karbala is special, say salaams to the martyrs

The shrine is a gift for you and your family Peace fills the air when you are around the Alam But you hear a sound coming from a distance

It is being said really loudly It is being clearly recited The words are following:-

Hussein is our saviour Abbas is a brave lion

Zainab spoke against Yazid to save Islam Red rivers, Black skies, Golden sand Oh our Imam, his family and their plight

will stay in our hearts forever We think about their severe thirst

Baby Aliasghar on the spear Martyred with no water Now raise your hands and say

"Oh Allah! place the martyrs in paradise Punish Yazid and his army.

Maryam Mohammed

NAMAAZ

When we read namaaz, we bow down to Allah (SWT) We feel happiness in our hearts

and our hearts send a signal to our brain, which tells us it is prayer time. All praise to Allah (SWT)

Fatima Kazmi

CLEANLINESS

Clean this, Clean that,

Those two words are haunting me, Those two words are now taunting me "What's wrong with these people"? I used to say

I know cleanliness is half Imaan, I know cleanliness is half Islam, Everywhere I go,

Everywhere I hear Clean this,

Clean that, What is cleanliness I heard one day, Now I can't stand a speck of dirt,

Anywhere I see, I call the maid just for me,

And let her do it just for me, That's how my life is now, And that's how I end my poem now.

Hanna Jessa

IMAM ALI

You were the lion of Allah The brother of Mustafa

You went to Masjid-al-Kufa You went to Sajda Ibne Muljim struck you with a sword

We miss you Imam Ali.

WHY

Sometimes I see you all so bright

shiny as a diamond in the light But more often than not you are dark as the night

Can you tell me why when you are of the same Why water why?

Hassan Naqvi

DEAR MUM

Writing memories on this paper

You are too far away to be my helper Writing words that are just for you I'll let you know what I've been through

It's only you who can understand the weird turns of my restless mind

I leave for you words written on the sand Better read them before they get washed

I find your arms the safest place and your love the purest of all

It's far too hard, it's for me a disgrace that remain unforgiven mistakes

Writing thoughts I want to let you know that you were and will always be my soul

Being the past still my present It's you when I will turn to for love.

Meher
