I Wonder
If Prophet Muhammed 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 and honored guest,
And all the food you'd serve to him
Would only be the best.
And you would keep reminding him,
You're glad to have him there,
That serving him in your home
Is joy beyond compare.
But.....when you see him coming
Would you meet him at the door,
With arms stretched in welcome
to your visitor?
Or.....would you have to change you clothes
before you let him in?
Or hide some magazine and put
The Quran where they had been?
Would you still watch X-rated movies
on your TV set?
Or would you turn off the radio,
And hope he hadnt heard?
And wish you hadn't uttered
the last loud nasty word?
Would you hid your worldly music
And instead take Hadith books out?
Could you let him walk right in
Or would you rush about?
And I wonder....if he the Prophet spent
A day or two with you,
Would you go right on doing the things
You always do?
Would you go right on saying the things
You always say?
Would life for you continue
As it does from day to day?
Would your famiy conversation
Keep up its usual pace,
And would you find it hard each meal
To say a 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 the songs you always sing,
And read the books you read?
And let him know the things on which
Your mind and spirit feed?
Would you take the Prophet with you
Everywhere you plan to go?
Or would you maybe change your plans,
Just for a day or so?
Would you be glad to have him meet
Your very closest friends?
Or would you hope they stay away,
Until his visit ends?
Would you be glad to have him away,
forever on and on?
Or would you sigh with great releif
When he at last was gone?
It might be interesting to know
The things that you would do
If Prophet Muhammed in person came
to spend some time with you.
