What is Islam?

An observation

Islam is

Mind, body, and spirit

Nurture, care

A metaphysical science

 

Islam is

Clothes on your back

Food you ingest

A complete lifestyle

 

Islam is

Misunderstood

Dejected

Akin to the other roads of God

 

Islam is

State of character

More than inked pages

In the eye of the beholder

 

Islam is

Islam is

Islam is

Islam is

I admit I paused because of the title. Guess I wanted to hear another's insights regarding a major holistic (in every philosophical sense) life choice ... guess you didn't have any - or perhaps were afraid to share? But I'm not arguing Faith or belief or doubts or how one lives their life - but I am always curious how others might want me to live mine.

"Every belief has its tenets, every follower has their beliefs." - me

What predeeded was a comment, THIS is the review - you did establish and set a fair pace; have a good rhythm; the tonal quality is clear.

I'm not into telling other people how to live nor what do believe I tend yo share my own thoughts in my poetry usually about myself.. If I was going to share a more in depth look I would have to write a paper but I can understand where you are coming from.
I'm glad you enjoyed the poem and thank you for taking the time to read it.

Absolutely loved this. This is so relevant today. Islam is often misunderstood, but it is a religion like any other, and is truly peaceful and compassionate. For the followers, it means the world and helps them lead great lives. Amazing poem, much needed. Enjoyed reading it

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this poem and I am glad you enjoyed it. I feel that in these days the Islamic community is much too quiet on describing how they see Islam and allow the extremists to be the loudest voice. So this is me trying to be a voice about a religion that has effected me to the core of my being. Peace and Love
