Selama tiga hingga empat dekade terakhir, dinamika pemikiran Islam menunjukkan kecenderungan yang benar-benar baru. Perkembangan ini ditandai dengan munculnya karya-karya akademis dan intelektual yang dianggap sebagai pembacaan ulang warisan intelektual dan budaya Islam. Dari perspektif awal, gagasan baru ini sebenarnya merupakan tanggapan atas kekalahan Arab di tangan Israel selama perang enam hari Juni 1967. Peristiwa itulah yang membedakan pemikiran kontemporer dari modern.
Berikut 10 contoh puisi berbahasa Inggris yang bertema Islam Kontemporer:
My Lord
You are all-wise and you provide
You give although I never asked
You fulfill my needs, even though I never pray.
You are always there in every breath I take
I am you
You are within me
I will never fulfill you
Until I empty my shell
The Almighty
I walked without direction
In the dark of the night
Alone and empty-handed
Wish I could return to my home
I walked the true path
I go through all the trouble
I face with patience
I pass with great enthusiasm
Your light is so beautiful
Illuminating the dark night
Showing me the true path
Guiding me into truth
Dimension of The Heart
My heart is like a bamboo flute
Buzzing when the wind blew
Sometimes it makes a beautiful melody
Sometimes it croons softly
This heart is a home
Wise in opening the door
Faithful to the things that you encounter every day
Sadness, happiness, anger, patience
How can this mirror measure itself
If it is covered in dust
How can this heart find its beloved
If it is filled with sins
The Truth
I looked for you until the end of the world
I climbed the mountains
I crossed the valleys
I didn't find you anywhere
You are far, I am far
You are near, I am near
When I found you
You are within me
Islamic
I found no peace out there
There is only one moment of happiness
The more I look for happiness
The more tormented this heart becomes
When I returned home
I began to slowly grieve
I left home for a long time
I left it unkempt
I cleaned the dust
I left this house empty
When loneliness begins to approach
Serenity comes to find
The Most Compassionate
I've been negligent for years and years
But time never stopped for a second
You keep giving me chances
To keep improving my life
Your love is overflowing
To every single creature in the world
Your light shines throughout nature
To give life its sense
The Pinnacle of Knowledge
There are many clever headsÂ
But only a few are saved
Few people are civilized
But many are saved
Knowledge is not only about reason
Knowledge involves both the inside and the outside
Knowledge is not just memorization
Knowledge is action
My Hero
You are my breath
As a light in my life
You lead me into faith
With the lights of prophethood
I only call you Rasullallah
When I lose my wayÂ
I only call you Rasulallah
When I was far away from you
Ya Rasulallah, Ya Habiballah
Your light is so brightly lit
Ya Rasulallah, Ya HabibballahÂ
I longing for the day i see your face
My Islam My Truth
I sailed across the ocean
Just to find a diamond
I dived to the seabed
And I found a diamond there
I have spent the rest of my life in pursuit of knowledge
Just to find the truth
I drowned in Islam
And I found the truth there
Tahalli, Takhalli, Tajalli
I died as water
And rise again as a plant
I must die again and rise again as an animal
Once again I must die and rise as an angel
Wandering the world
Crawling through the world
Why don't you fly
If you have wings
How long would you be confined
In such a small cage
Die and come back to life
Then fly high
