The British Nomad

Up and out the house before dawn
Two hundred miles to drive this morn
Stopping for Fajr on the way
Never missing prayers, come what may

A job where I'm the only stranger
Around every corner, so much danger
Twitter and lectures keep me going
In this constant life of to & fro-ing

Providing for the kids and wife
Allah blessed me, with such a life
Many a day, spent away from home
But with my religion, I'm never alone

Not a job I'd recommend to many
There's easier way to make more penny
Just make sure you study in school
Don't end up like me, a silly fool

Zaid ibn Amr ibn Nufayl (radiAllahu anhu)

Would not follow Quraysh in belief It led him into becoming a haneef Different from a Christian or Jew To Abrahams way, he tried to stick true The rescuer of baby girls buried alive He raised them himself, until they would thrive If you were to offer him, non-halal meat Face an admonition, for he shall not eat Showed such strength, in an ocean of shirk The mis-leaders, everywhere they lurk It just shows, the pure fitrah is strong He'd never be made to stray into wrong He's not quite a sahabi But he is no less worthy Murdered whilst on his way home A nation raised, all on his own
