Lyrics>
Hazrat Nuh was of Messengers, the very first one.
Before he arrived polytheism had begun
In present day IRAQ he was born and raised.
In twenty nine suras, forty three times praised
He was born to Lamech, who was Methusala’s son.
His Great grandfather Idrees, was the last Chosen One
Nuh was indeed a very great man.
His life spread beyond a thousand year span
For building the Ark he was most well known.
A refuge from the floods, the only safe zone
The story of Ibraheem AS and rites during the annual Hajj Pilgrimage Start>>> The Prophet Ibrahim was tested through life With his father, his son, as well as his wife Against his own father, he was destined to stand Who sculpted his idols on public demand Lost in worship of the moon and the stars From the righteous path his people strayed far His father and kinsmen had called him a liar He was bound and gagged and thrown into fire The flames did nothing to put him in fear Upon his blessed face, was nothing but cheer He came out alive, as if he had just slept For, in Allah’s Protection he had been kept Onlookers expected to see something tragic But he walked out calmly as if it was magic! He left his family by Allah’s Command And rebuilt the Ka’baa with his bare hands Alone in the desert were mother and child Who would protect them out here in the wild? Here the miracle of Zamzam commenced Today we can drink to our heart’s content He called his people towards Allah, The One He was ordered to sacrifice his only son! When he tried to follow-through with Allah’s Command Three times obstructed he was, by Shaytan He threw some stones and told him to shoo! Determined to achieve what he was instructed to do His son who was strong and who was full of grace Instructed his father to turn away his face As Ibrahim began to make his move Allah Decided that he had proved His faith in Allah, It was second to none An animal switched the place of the son! He passed the tests and indeed went far Henceforth he is known as Friend of Allah
According to Masjidul Haq his name is Ukhnoon. He is also the great grandfather of Hazrat Nooh AS.
START>>>
The sixth grandson of Aadam
Was Idrees Alayhis Salam
In his lifetime all nations
Of the world were on Islam
He came from Babylon,
Known as Iraq of today
After Prophet Seth
Prophethood came his way
In fact he was the first
Rasool that came in place
The true message of Aadam
Had now become misplaced
He ‘interpreted’ the laws
From Aadam and from Seth
He ‘instructed’ with true knowledge
And understanding, till his death
There were good and there were bad
People across the board
But still they all believed
In the oneness of their Lord
Soon enough for some
Their problems became dire
Some had gone too far
And began worshipping the fire
Corruption from the people
Of Qaabeel came very near
With the Assistance of Allah
They fought away this fear
Idrees who was among them
Assisted everyone as their guide
As long as he was around
They had goodness on their side
He split his normal week
Into three and four so blessed
For three days he would preach
Leading prayers in the rest
In many aspects Idrees was
The very, first one of all men
He was the first man to invent
The usage of the pen
Observing movements of the stars
He was also the first
In the sewing of new garments
He was very-well versed
Of the gifts bestowed upon him
By Most Generous Our Lord
The virtues of his people
Were included in his reward
So he thought to ask Allah
And increase his life some more
An angel he requested
To take him to heaven’s door
His angel friend agreed,
And they travelled upwards north
The Angel of Death however
Was waiting at the fourth
When Muhammad was on Me’raj
Riding Al buraq he saw
That Allah had Raised Idrees
Up to Heaven number four
To Enoch in the Bible
Match the skills of this good man
We too, can be the first
And invent new things- we can
Any ideas that you may have
Just pass around the word
And ask Allah for His Support
Your duas won’t go unheard
Welcome back to the Prophetic Poetry Podcast, as we journey through the Stories of the Prophets through a series of Poems written and delivered by your host Atique Miah.
In this week's episode we have a featured blogger known as Umm Ibraheem - https://ummibraheem.wordpress.com/about/
...this sister has done some really good research and created this blog for the benefit of the Ummah. May Allah SWT Grant her every good wish, and Accept all her efforts. Aameen.
Today's episode of the podcast introduces Seth or Sheeth AS. Not much is really known about this man, so please do comment if I have missed anything out. As always, please rate and share- so that others can also benefit.
Lyrics:
START>>>
One hundred and thirty
was Aadam at the time
Of Seth being born
after Qabeel and his crime
He was a ‘gift’ to his parents
since Haabeel had been slain
Slayed by his own brother,
by the bitterness of Cain
Cain and his group
moved to a far-away land
Leaving Aadam and Hawaa
and the rest of their clan
When Aadam grew old
he appointed Seth to lead
to lead away his people from
ignorance and greed
Seth and his followers
Were instructed to stay
Away from Qaabeel
And all those astray
The people of Cain
Went to the flat lying lands
Where the people of Seth
Were now truly banned
Seth now a prophet
taught the hours of the day
He taught the approved times
For his people to pray
For his day and his night
The meanings became new
As his reliance upon the Path
of Allah now grew
Seth was foretold
of Noah’s flood and much more
Of scrolls was given fifty
from a hundred and four
Not much more is known
About this ancestor of man
But he’s mentioned as ‘a gift’
In the books before Qur’an

Lyrics:
...Aadam and Hawaa agreed- mistakes had been made
They asked Allah’s Forgiveness, for being waylaid
On a Friday they descended, upon the lonely Earth
To many, many children- Hawaa had given birth
With every born twin, was a sister and a brother
Marriage was decreed, to the sibling of the other
Aadam had two sons, Habeel and Qabeel
Qabeel was envious, and he proposed to steal
Qabeel made a challenge, to his brother in a fight
But Habeel- he declined, he knew this wasn’t right
Habeel was much stronger, and knew this was sad
Qabeel held no restraint, and hurt him really bad
Quarrelsome Qabeel, his anger just grew stronger
He decided not to stay, with his parents any longer
He moved away soon after, to far and distant lands
He took with him some people, by making strong demands
Reading this account, there’s something we can learn
Away from all the prideful, Allah will always Turn
Arrogance and pride, are traits of that Shaytaan
Not part of the character, to be found within man
If you’re listening carefully, you must try to understand
Take good advice from parents, and your lifetime will be grand...
Now you have come to the end of Book 1 about Prophet Aadam and his wife.
You can look forward to the next book in the series...Book 2 Seth AS. Here's a sneak peak at some lines from the book...
One hundred and thirty was Aadam at the time
When Seth was born after Qaabeel and his crime
He was a ‘gift’ to his parents since Haabeel had been slain
Killed by his own brother and the jealousy of Cain (Qaabeel)...
Thank you for listening. I look forward to your comments!

Lyrics:
...Aadam felt alone, in the garden he was kept
So Allah Made a wife, for him while he slept
He woke up from his slumber, beside him to find
The most beautiful being, right there by his side
“What is your name?” he asked, “and why are you here?”
“I am Hawaa, the first woman - your wife, so don’t fear”
Allah Informed them, they were partners for life
They were both to live in harmony, as husband and wife
They were told they could go, wherever they felt free
But reminded to stay away, from one particular tree
They promised they wouldn't go, anywhere near
But Shaytaan the Accursed, whispered in their ear
“That tree that you have, been told to avoid
Its fruits give pleasure, that you’ve never enjoyed”
He whispered and repeated, until they forgot
The promise they'd made, of avoiding that spot
They ate from the tree, his lies they believed
Their clothes disappeared, so they covered up with leaves
He laughed to himself, as they forgot Allah’s Command
To make them slip up, had always been his plan
For this reason they were, from Paradise removed
And transported to Earth, where lifetime was approved
Arrogant Shaytaan always angry and mad
He lost all he worked for, and everything he had
Pridefully he blamed, Aadam for his loss
When the fault was all his own, no one else to accost
In the same manner we must all, follow-up to the letter
We must accept our faults, and change our lives for the better...
Thank you for listening. I look forward to your comments!

Lyrics:
...So Allah Created man, by a special command
He Gave him a soul, and Allowed him to stand
The names of all things, to man did He Teach
Now man had knowledge, beyond Iblees’ reach
Iblees was no angel, but would not give thanks
He’d worked his way up, and rose above their ranks
But now Iblees worried, that his place would be taken
By this man who knew things, about all of creation
The whole group was ordered, to bow before this man
Iblees and his friends rejected this command
He was too proud, to lower down his head
“My fire is better, than this clay”, he said
Disappointed was Allah, with Shaytaan and his pride
Until now he’d been faithful, but has shown his true side
He was ordered to leave, the group he was in
This was no place for arrogance, or any kind of sin
Shaytaan knew the Lord, has Infinite Mercy
And so he took a chance, to ask Allah and see...
“My Lord let me live, until the Judgement Day”
In his mind he thought “I will, lead humans astray
I’ll teach them to be haughty, and guide them to shout
At parents and elders, when they’re out and about”
He cackled to himself, with this plan in his mind
He likes us to be rude, and to be mean and unkind
Allah Allowed Shaytaan, his wish of respite
So each day remember, Shaytaan you must fight
He puts wicked thoughts, inside our hearts
He’s wanted us to fail, right from the start...
Thank you for listening. I look forward to your comments!

Lyrics:
"Silly old Iblees, should've known he
Guidance comes only, from Allah you see
Yes we make effort, and try our best
But only with Allah, do all results rest
As humans we always, remember we must
To rely on Allah, as He is Most Just
We must not forget, to put our effort in haste
And Allah will not allow, our efforts to waste
The angels too wondered, why Allah had made
Yet another creature, the earth he might degrade
Allah Responded clear, for all around to hear
“I Know what you don’t, and I Know what you fear!
Mankind has the power, for remarkable things
Which make them exclusive, from angels and djinns
Mankind has the power, for themselves to think
They can choose what is right, or know they will sink
Mankind can overpower, his basal desires
He can save himself, from the greatest of fires
The people that listen, and the ones that take heed
Will seek out success, and from punishment be freed”
Thank you for listening. I look forward to your comments!

Lyrics:
Do you know who was, the first man on Earth
And do you know the story, of his spectacular birth?
His origins were earthly - humble and meek
Angels were raising question, long before he could speak
He never was a toddler, and neither was a child
Made was he from clay, so very soft and mild
Aadam was the name, of this man who came to Earth
Unfolding very shortly, is the story of his birth
Created was this man, from different types of clay
Clay from planet Earth, from near and far away
As an adult he was born, a great father soon to be
Destined he was for greatness, that yet he could not see
Father of all humans, he taught us right from wrong
To Allah is our return, and to Him do we belong
The Most Merciful Creator, Made an image so unique
Angels and djinns had never, seen something so sleek
The body of this man, lay there in its place
For all around to view, from his toes to his face
Iblees who was a djinn, among the angels- glared
He saw this new creation, and inside he felt scared
“For what reason is this ‘thing’, that Allah has made?
While years I’ve been loyal, for so long I have prayed
It was I, that was chosen, to be close to Allah
And only I am supreme, and the greatest by far
The djinns were on earth, in the greatest of error
Fighting each other, unleashing their terror
I alone repaired the problems of djinn-kind
I am Number One above angels you'll find!”
Thank you for listening. I look forward to your comments!
