Tell me something....
Why do your books continue to remain on your shelves?
Why can't you loan them to us, so that we can educate ourselves?
Your Qur'ans, hadiths and sunnahs filled with lots of knowledge
Why do you continue to allow your nafs to be more of a blockage?
Don't you want to learn and grow,
So that insha'Allah you and I can make it to the Jannah, where rivers flow?
Tell me, when was the last time you opened your Qur'an?
Do you think it was meant to be left on the shelf with your coloring books and
crayons?
Round and round we go in a senseless pursuit of worldly interests
All this hootin, hollarin' and finger pointing you do, it's just senseless....
Saying, "they aren't Muslim, they don't know Islam..."
Yet you continue to allow dust to collect on your Qur'an.
Placing it on high shelves, thinking you've done your job in showing the respect it's
due,
Yet you still allow for it to sit there, staring right back at you.
Continuing to collect dust, awaiting the next Ramadhan,
Because that's the only time of which you seem to give a doggone.
When will you see that the shelf is not where the Qur'an is meant to be
Rather, it should be given the highest place on our priority list, in all of its entirety.
So next time we ask, if we can borrow your books,
why hesitate, instead have a postitive outlook.
By loaning us your books, you are helping to increase our knowledge.
And when we return it to you, we'll gladly pay you homage
For it's what lies in those books we seek to learn
and I only pray that one day, you will also yearn,..... remember to HIM is where we
all shall return.
