A VISIT FROM THE PROPHET (SAW)
If the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) visited you, just for a day or two If He
came unexpectedly, I wonder what you'd do . . . . .
Oh,
I know you'd give the nicest room to such an honoured guest
And
all the food you'd serve Him, would be the very best
And
you would keep assuring Him, you're glad to have Him there,
That serving Him in your home is the joy beyond compare
But
when you saw him coming, would you meet Him at the door With arms
stretched out in welcome to your special visitor?
Or . . .. would you have to change your clothes before you let him in?
Or . .Hide some magazines and put the Quran where these had
been?
Would you still
watch those movies, on your TV set?
Or would you rush
to switch it off before He gets upset?
Would you turn off
the radio and hope that He hadn't heard?
And wished you
hadn't uttered the last loud hasty word?
Would you hide your
worldly music, and instead take Hadith books out?
Could you let Him
right in, or would you rush about?
And I wonder . . .
if the Prophet (SAW) spent a day or two with you,
Would you go on
doing the things that you always do?
Would you go on
saying the things you always say?
Would life for you
continue as it does from day to day?
Would your family
conversation keep its usual pace?
And would you find
it hard at each meal to say to table grace?
Would you keep up
each and every prayer without putting on a frown?
And would you
always jump up early for prayer at dawn?
Would you sing
songs you always sang and read the books you read?
And let him know
the things on which your mind and spirit feed?
Would you take the
Prophet (SAW) with you everywhere you plan to go?
Or would you change
your plans just for a day or so?
Would you be glade
for Him to meet your very closest friends?
Or would you hope
they 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 that you would do if the
Prophet Muhammad (SAW), in person, came to spend some time with |
