Modesty in my soul It’s the key to my final goal. The law set in life for me to live by, or a trait instilled by the Most High Though it’s not something you can easily find A characteristic to instill, A duty to fulfill, Doing the right thing due to Allah’s will Noticed by my peculiarity, as I live in a foreign country, But it’s a positive from of disparity as long as I posses it with sincerity Modeled by my credence, powered by my guidance Led by my resilience against those who wish to find me in its absence It’s represented in the way I dress, and the tranquility that I feel in its presence is a feeling that words cannot express They view it as oppression, or a new invention Its benefits they don’t take into consideration Only through a course of action can it serve its true function To acquire it I made an intention, so leaving it is not an option It’s a form of Islamic convention, It leads me in the right direction They would realize its importance if they would just pay attention A form of guidance and light for those who seek what is right Found in the book they recite, and within them does it incite the strength to fight Strong faith it does guarantee in a halal way that sets you free I wish that you could see the comfort that it gives me Indecency it does abolish, Turning your heart into a diamond that doesn’t need polish Reflected in my behavior with others Treating them with kindness because we are all brothers To lower my gaze I was taught-it would protect me from the fire so hot They say it’s a form of self-suppression, it’s not It’s my way to heaven, so desperately sought So I declare with temerity that it leads to prosperity The result is worth more than gold, It’s our desires we must control so let us help each other as a whole Because repetitiously I was told, these are my values to uphold It’s the key to my final goal-modesty in my soul
