Dr. Abdulhay Yusef of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at King AbdulAziz University wrote the following poem in English.

I am the Muslim Engineer
Qur’an is my Book
Sunnah is my Manual
I perform my duties
Whether daily or annaul.

Allah has guided me
To be a MIslim Engineer
My message is clear
Just to “repair” the world,
And that is why I’m here.

I’m to Glorify My Lord,
With everyway and mode,
Through a machine or a keyboard,
Through data transmission with very high baud,
I know the right way to pave my road,
With such a view, wide and broad,
I’m the Muslim Engineer.

I’m to spread Islam on a plane or in a bus,
Through an interface or data bus,
My message is clear with no fuss.

I’m to draw on every face a nice smile
I’m to reshape the world in a new profile.

Allah is My Lord
Muhammad is His Messenger
I’m working at full load,
I’m the Muslim Challenger
