MY ADVICE TO OLD, GRUMPY, WEALTHY MEN, SEEKING UNDERAGED GIRL-WIVES

Depressing it is

As I read about a so-called Muslim old man

Marrying a girl aged nine years...

Last year some other lust-filled chap

Did a similar act and went even further

By inflicting pain and molesting his child-wife

In Yemen -- A country ruled by Muslims

And populated by many a believer of the Glorious Qur'an....

This is not the Islam given to us by our beloved Prophet Muhammad

(May the peace and blessings of God and His angels be on him).

Wherein does the Qur'an tell old men

To get married to underaged girls --

Who are like young flower buds waiting to blossom fully?

It is plainly written in the last revelation, the Glorious Qur'an

That men can marry only women

And all girls are not women

They are children who have to grow up and be women.

O ye grumpy, lust-filled wealthy Muslim old wolves!

Play not with the revelations of God the Greatest

For you cannot fool Him at all...

He knows everything as He is the "All-Aware, the All-Wise"

And one more word of good advice from a fellow Muslim man

To all you old, wealthy, lust-filled men,

Scattered all over the four corners of the globe:

Purchase not error at the price of gain

And mock not God's wisdom again

Please O all of you oldies waiting for girl-wives

Fear Allah and His justice

And mock not your own religion

By distorting and misusing the Qur'an's words

For it will only bring you shame and disdain...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It was disgusting to read the harrowing story of a rich but very old man getting married to a girl of nine years age. It is depressing -- as I have said at the beginning of my poem above -- to see Islam being misinterpreted by half-learned fools all over the world. The Glorious Qur'an tells men to marry women and not girls especially underaged children in any of its verses. Yet the final revelation of God Almighty Allah blessed as a divine inspiration on His last Messenger and Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him now and forever) is being misused by the wealthy and lust-filled minority of morons the world over tarnishing the real face of Islam -- the religion which means Peace by submitting wholeheartedly to the Will of God/Allah. Militants are also distorting the meaning of the Arabic word "Jihad" which means "striving" against evil in all forms, within and without one's own self. Islam is what has been defined as the "Golden Mean" in the scriptures of Buddha and Mahavira centuries before Jesus Christ (Peace be upon him) appeared in this world with his gospel. Islam is PEACE and "Jihad" is not HOLY WAR in any sense of the term. It, I repeat yet again, means striving against evil in every form. Islam does not advocate fanaticism or extremish in any way. It stands for PEACE as the word Islam is derived from the Hebrew word Shalom meaning PEACE. SALAM/SHALOM/PEACE.....that is the truth.
