Paradise Under Your Feet — Page xvi
viii Grant my children good friends, the company of the righteous all of their lives. Help them to pass this worldly life as travelers who are safeguarded From the materialistic and negative influences in their way. Grant my children and me the eyes to discern between what is true and what is false, So we always choose faith in any instance when culture and religion clash. Ameen (A group of mothers composed this poem in a workshop at the 2012 East Coast Ijtema on “ Choosing Islam when Culture Disagrees ” )
