-by Sameer al Bashiri
If you want to be like a mole (or "beauty mark") distinguished amongst the human race.
Then track the trails of a generation that planned and outlined for excellence.
The generation of Zaid and Usaid and Mu'adh and Al-Bara'.
(Zayd ibn Thabit - Usaid bin Hudhair - Mu'adh bin Jabal -Al-Bara' ibn Malik)
They were like stars in the darkness and on the unjust they were falling comets.
They are clear full moons with no clouds to disrupt visibility.
They all were "Effort" and "Striving" in character.
They were needed rain (Help) that fell on all.
They divorced life and lived as torches of guidance on its aspects.
They filled earth with peace, science and virtues.
They guided every misguided one who, from the guidance of Islam, had lost course.
So, O my people when will we rebuild...When?...When?
What we have by our own hands destroyed...When?...When?
Boasting about Khubaib and Al-Muthanna will gain us nothing.
(Khubaib bin Uday - Al-Muthanna bin Harithah)
Injustice will not be removed from us by saying "We were this...We were that".
