OFF D CHEST (lyrics)

J-Ansari:
Sometimes,
you wanna get things off your mind,
get things off your chest,
sometimes you want to ventilate.
Right now is one of those times.
Saad gone & tell em.
SaadImam:
I'm in the Masjid like a mantis, dawah (Call to Islam) deep like Atlantis,
So don't address me with circular logical semantics.
My roots run deep cuz that's how my seeds were planted.
Like an oak tree in the wind. Resisting drought like a cactus.
Firmly established. Unbreakable like Bruce Willis.
My last names Mateen (firm) so don't act like you don't know this.
& the bros I flow with, they ain't down for no nonsense.
You wanna intellectually debate us, we'll consume you like a thin mint.
Your beliefs a figment. Imaginatory allegory.
I studied your concepts in detail. i find them utterly boring.
They had me snoring so I blew em off like a gale wind.
You can tell to my hand the things my mind can't comprehend.
J-Ansari:
Absolutely! Sayf tell em. What...
Sayfuddeen:
As you fall into the scheme of things, the American dream makes things seem ok,
but they're not & no way.
not an inkling. Now my spidey sense is tingling
from all this interfaith dialogue & leaders mingling.
It's ok, you got some fatwa (Scholar's opinion) from your shaykh [learned (old, or rich) Muslim]
but who's written his check? Did you check?
Are these actual stacks like upper deck?
Or is it all made up like MiMi Bobeck?
Hikmah (Islamic wisdom or Sunnah-Way off Muhammad s.a.w.) can show you what's correct.
It can be soft enough to put you to rest or hard enough to break your neck.
It's the wisdom from Qur'aan (Last revelation from Allah to mankind) & Sunnah (Way of Muhammad s.a.w.).
Not some weak man's thinking over Hub-bud-dunya (Love of this life).
It's not hidden between the lines like some "peek-a-boo".
& that's shocking to some people just like peeka-choo.
But it's the truth so I let these words flow straight thru.
Cuz I'm a water-tight, inspire your son & daughter type.
Let the Hikmah (Islamic wisdom or Sunnah-Way off Muhammad s.a.w.) make you smarter type.
love Islam, study harder type.
Not some weak "lamb to slaughter" type.
but a bat to your dome, Jack Carter type.
J-Ansari:
O Saad, you ain't finished yet?
SaadImam:
Like acupuncture, pricking points to stiumulate.
Relax you with these fact & I'm open for debate.
As long as you bring it to my level & keep it level headed in your tone
I'm Jihadi (Muslim warrior for Islam) to the bone.
this ain't no threat. just practice common respect.
Cuz the Hikmah (Islamic wisdom or Sunnah-Way off Muhammad s.a.w.) can be soft or the Hikmah can snap yo neck.
It all depends if we be foes or we be friends.
Cuz if we be foes then we'll battle to the end.
& in the end it's victory or martyrdom.
For me one of these two, for you, you won't get none.
Cuz yous a kafir (Non-believer in Islam) so your home be that fire,
Cuz I'm lead by the wahi (Revelation" Qur'aan & Sunnah), you're lead by desire.
J-Ansari:
Yea! Absolutely!!

NEAPOLITAN UMMAH

DawahWorks

Neapolitan Ummah

In the 19th century Neapolitan ice cream was introduced to America. Neapolitan ice cream consists of the chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry flavors in a single container with no barrier between them (Umm genius). This seemed to work quite well for ice cream lovers. The only downside would be that people would naturally eat their favorite(s) and leave the less desirable flavor(s) to waste.

In the 20th century the Orientalist began to apply this recipe to the Muslim Ummah. Their thought was to divide our single Ummah into a Neapolitan existence in order to force Muslims to pick and choose sides (flavors). Just as with Neapolitan ice cream, favorites are utilized and what are less desirable are alienated. Daniel Pipes wrote in the Jerusalem post: If militant Islam is the problem, moderate Islam is the solution.

Allah (swt) says,

إِنَّ هَذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً

“Your Ummah is but one Ummah”. H.Q. 21:92

Among these proposed “flavors” are Extremist, Fundamentalist, Traditionalist, Secularist, and Modernist. Of these “flavors”, the favorite chosen by the Orientalist for us is modernist, and, to a lesser extent the secularist. These are individually defined as such:

  1. Extremist: Belonging to or supportive of armed groups
    1. Those who would offer resistance to occupation by any means necessary.
  2. Fundamentalist: Practicing Muslims
    1. Those who adhere to the same exact Islamic principles and practices of The Prophet Muhammad (saw).
  3. Traditionalist: Non-converts
    1. Muslim by family tradition.
    2. May not adhere to all the tenets of Islam.
  4. Secularist: Assimilators and integrators
    1. Identify as republican, democrat or other.
    2. Believe in limiting Islam to rituals in order to gain acceptance.
  5. Modernist: Feather in the wind
    1. Believe that Qur’an needs revision
    2. Believe Sunnah to be antiquated
    3. Believe in socially accepted Islamic practices only.

Sadly, Muslims began to identify themselves within these parameters.

Allah (swt) says,

هُوَ سَمَّاكُمُ الْمُسْلِمينَ

“He Allah (swt) has named you Muslims.” H.Q. 22:78

  1. Cheryl Benard, a senior political scientist at RAND, stated:
    1. Support the modernists first.
    2. Support the traditionalists enough to keep them viable against the fundamentalists.
    3. Oppose the fundamentalists energetically.
    4. Support the secularists on a case-by-case basis.
    5. The West should also support the idea that religion and state can be separate in Islam, too, and that the separation will not endanger the faith but, in fact, can strengthen it.

2:120 Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion.

وَلَن تَرْضَى عَنكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلاَ النَّصَارَى حَتَّى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ

Mark A. Gabriel, Ph.D. of Al-Azhar University, the son of Muslim parents, stated in his book Charisma House: Muslims are of three kinds.

  1. Ordinary Muslims: They are Muslims because of their culture and tradition rather than because of strong religious beliefs. From the point of view of a committed Muslim, this group should be referred to as secular Muslims because they are not submitting wholly to Islam.
  2. Committed Muslims: Committed Muslims are those who make great efforts to live according to Islam. They pray five times a day, give alms and fast during Ramadan.
  3. Orthodox Muslims: A subset of committed Muslims, orthodox Muslims want to follow the requirements of Islam in the same way Muhammad did in the seventh century.

Mr. Gabriel further states: Sufites are the first sect in Islam that tried to change the meaning of jihad from "spreading Islam with the sword" to "a spiritual struggle to fight evil within oneself." Sufism (among Muslims) started six centuries after Muhammad's death.

It should be clear that anti-Muslim agents are working to divide, label and define our Ummah beyond Muslimeen (Muslims) or Mu’mineen (believers). It is bad enough we remain polarized by the Sunni, Shia divide.

Islam’s flavorful variety rests in the fact that it unites all peoples under one thought: “There is nothing worthy of worship & obedience except Allah (awj) alone and Muhammad (saw) is His last Messenger sent to the whole of mankind.”

Allah (swt) says,

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ

“Only those are believers, who believe in Allah and His Messenger.” H.Q. 24:62 & 49:15

This has been SaadImam for DawahWorks.

Mind of SaadImam

As Salaamu alaykum,
This is a page dedicated to my mental overflow. DawahWorks by title alone has to be of a certain standard. Although much of DawahWorks' content is satiristic the subject matter is always pertaining to Islam and Muslims. Mind of SaadImam however, may contain family related subjects or general comedy but never un-Islamic content. I pray that you enjoy!
