My Sister In Islam
What is wrong with you, my sister?
Why do you stand alone?
I’m standing in line for salah
We both bow before God
The same Allah, the same salah
But you stand far away from me
Let’s shuffle down
So that we stand
Shoulder to shoulder
With no gaps left
All in the same line
What is wrong with you, my sister?
Why do you not answer me?
I’m saying salam
With a sincere heart
But you ignore me
With a stony reply
I’m wearing a hijab
Just like you
Why don’t you reply?
Are you an Arab? A black? A white?
Aren’t we just Muslims?
You and I?
Let us embrace
You say “Asalamualikum”
And I will reply,
“Walikum As Salaam:
We will bow before one God
The same Allah, the same salah
