Poem

Beliefs

Now that you're a Muslim,
There are seven things you must believe in.

The first is Allâh, the only God,
None but Him is God.

The second are His angels, made of light,
They each have a job, and they do it right.

The third are His books, to guide mankind,
Books so good, you will never find.

The fourth are His prophets, the best of men,
Sent by Allâh, to help guide men.

The fifth is the Day of Judgment,
Prepare for it, to avoid punishment.

The sixth is that Allâh ordains good and bad,
So no matter what, do not get sad.

The seventh is life after death,
Do good deeds, until your last breath.

Obaid Ahmed, Age 9
