Do something.. Now
by Amanah Khalid
UK
 

If I don't pray today no one will know,
Or if I dance around to music, or watch my favourite game show.
Nobody can see if I'm not reading Qu'ran,
And should somebody ask ill tell them that I am.
    
Should I stand in prayer I'm probably doing it wrong
Not really concentrating, and thinking this is taking too long.
I'm such a busy person my mind is so preoccupied,
Ill tell people I've read Salat, no one will know that I have lied.
    
And when I go to work im the only Muslim there,
So if I miss a prayer or two, who's there to know or care.
Besides my job is important, and helps provide for my family,
As long as im earning money we can live content and happily.
    
Then suddenly before me beholds a sight im afraid to see
Surely this cant be happening, not yet, and not to me.
I stand before my Creator, my head hanging low with shame,
With Hell as my destination, my excuses are poor and lame.
    
Keeping up appearances so everyone thought I was the best,
Used up all my time and made me fail the hardest test,
I thought I had a life time to change and mend my ways,
Naive was I to think I had plenty remaining days.
    
Looking back over my shoulder I see my family in despair.
No true faith to pull them through, no money now im not there.
All the material joys are meaningless, only I was too blind to see,
When I thought no one was watching, Allah was always watching me.
    
It's not too late for you to learn from the mistakes of others
Embrace Islam with your heart not tomorrow but now, my dear sisters and brothers
Life is so so short, so love Allah thoroughly and true,
And perform all your prayers before your prayers are read for you.
