Go Forth Romantic Warrior!
By Imam Zaid Shakir · October 28, 2008
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.

Dear Imam Zaid, I really enjoyed your post. I met you a couple of times at Masjid Al Islam (whit Mike from outside of Hartford). I'm also a fan of poetry and have tried my hand at writing a few verses. I'd be honored if you read some of my stuff and let me know what you think: www.solomonsmith.com. Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah, Mike

Imam Zaid Shakir · April 22, 2026
The savage, unprovoked American/Israeli attack on Iran illustrates an old play, as far as the American side is concerned. It is amazing that the same script is rolled out for each violent, imperialist episode, yet there are still people who line up…
