Our God is one
Our Prophet is one
Then why do we have so many sects
Why do we fight amongst ourselves.
Why this sectarian violence
Why can't we talk about assimilationism
It is time for jihad with our own ego and conscience
It is time for holy war with our egoistic notions and schools of thought.
Let us stand shoulder to shoulder in prayer
Sheathe our knives, daggers and swords
Swap our turbans and caps
Gift rosaries and prayer rugs.
Let us say Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik aloud
And, kneel and prostrate to one God
Hearts full of piety, love, peace and patience -- no place for hatred or vengeance
Embrace and forgive one another -- that is the real, true -- attribute and trait of a Muslim.
