Zaid Shakir
is amongst the most respected and influential Islamic scholars in the
West. As a Muslim-American who came of age during the civil rights struggles,
he has brought both sensitivity about race and poverty issues and scholarly discipline
to his faith-based work.
Go forth romantic warrior,
to slay the beast of self.
Go forth into the field of life,
and relish in the wealth.
Go forth romantic warrior,
transcend the chains of time.
Go forth beyond this world of strife,
to learn of life sublime.
Go forth romantic warrior,
no more shall your heart bleed.
Go forth to find your love so rife,
intention is your deed.
The Road Home
If the road endures for one more bend,
or twist, before we reach the end.
If our hope endures for one more day,
then surely we will find our way.
If we can fly where only eagles dare,
our hearts will find Him waiting there.
if our weary feet can onward trod,
our journey’s end will be to God.
