If Prophet Mohamed (pbuh) visited u

[Searching_soul]

I WONDER...


If the Prophet Muhammad visited you,

Just for a day or two;

If he came unexpectedly

I wonder what you'd do.



Oh! I know you'd give your nicest room

To such an honored guest;

And all the food you'd serve to him

Would be the very best;



And you would keep assuring him,

You're glad to have him there;

Your hospitality would be beyond belief

And service beyond compare.



But... when you saw him coming,

Would you meet him at the door

With arms outstretched in welcome

To your honoured visitor?



Or... would you have to change your

Clothes before you let him in?

Or hide some magazines and put

The Quran where they had been?



Would you still watch movies

On your trusty TV set?

Or would you rush to switch it off

Before he gets upset?



Would you turn off the radio

And hope he hadn't heard?

And wish you hadn't uttered

That last loud nasty word?



Would you hide you worldly music

And instead take Islamic books out?

Could you let him walk right in,

Or would you rush about?



And, I wonder... if the Prophet spent

A day or two with you,

Would you go right on doing the things

That you always do?



Would you go right on saying the things

You always used to say?

Would life for you continue

As it does from day to day?



Would your family conversation

Keep its usual pace?

Or would you find it hard each meal

To say a table grace?



Would you keep up each and every

Prayer, forcing back a frown?

And would you always jump up early

For every prayer at dawn?



Would you sing the songs you always do

And read the books you read?

And let him know things on which

Your mind and spirit feed?



Would you take the Prophet with you

Everywhere you normally go?

Or would you , maybe, change your plan

Just for a day or so?



Would you be glad to have him meet

Your very closest friends?

Or would you hope they'd stay away

Until his visit ends?



Would you be glad to have him stay

Forever on and on?

Or would you sigh with great relief

When he at last was gone?



It might be interesting to know

The things you would do

If the Prophet Muhammad, in person,

Came to spend some time with you.

Alhamulillah. You know most of the things mentioned in the poem such as switching off the TV or radio, or changing clothes (to wear better Islamic clothing), or hide my music, I would not have to worry about. Alhamulillah. I do not have a TV, no music, no radio, no unislamic clothing. I have my one laptop on which I do Islamic research, university assignments, keep up to date with university emails and the like. (No, I am not an uncivilised, poor, depressed person). My family has tried very to limit any sort of material that might change our behaviour, since I was very young. And Alhamulillah, I do not have any liking for those misleading things either. With none of these things in my life, my friends and other close family still envy us. And I am happy for that. We are not envied for our materialistic gains.

Despite the many worldly instruments mentioned in the poem, I am sure I would have other things to regret about as I still do.

However, I pray that all us Believers become better Muslims and find ro regret in any of our actions. May Allah (SWT) make us all better Muslims so that we may implement in our lives the unflawed actions of the Prophet .

Brother Searching Soul, May Allah (SWT) reward you for sharing such a touching poem with us. Jazak Allah.

Assalamualaikum
