If Prophet Muhammad visited you
just for a day or two
If he comes unexpectedly
I wonder what you'd do!
Oh, I know you'd give your nicest room
To such an honoured guest
And all the food you serve to him
would be the very best
And you would keep assuming him
You are glad to have him there
That serving him in your own home
Is a joy beyond compare
But...when u saw him coming
would u meet him at the door
with arms outstretched in welcome
To ur heavenly visitor?
Or...would u have to change ur clothes
Before u let him in?
Or hide some magazines n put
The Quran where they have been
Would u still watch X-rated movies
On ur tv set?
Or would u wish to switch it off
Before he gets upset?
Would u turn off the radio
n hope he hadn't heard
And wish u hadn't uttered
The last loudy hasty word?
Would u hide ur wordly music
And instead take hadith books out
Could u let him walk right in,
Or would u rush about
And,I wonder...if Prophet(SAW) spent
A day or two with u;
Would u go right on doing the things
You always say?
Would life for u continue;
As it does from day to day?
Would ur family conversation,
Keep up its usual pace?
And would u find it hard on each meal,
To say a table grace?
Would u say each n every prayer,
Without putting on a frown?
And would u always jump up early,
For prayers at dawn?
Would u sing the songs u always sing,
And read the books u read?
And let him know the things on which,
Your mind n spirit feed?
Would u take the Prophet(SAW)
Every where u plan to go,
Or would u change ur plans
Just for a day or so?
Would u be glad to make him meet,
Ur very closest friends,
Or would u hope they'd stayed away
until his visit ends?
Would u be glad to have him stay;
Forever on n on?
Or would u sigh with great relief,
When he at least was gone!
It might be interesting to know
The things that u would do
If Prophet Muhammad(SAW) in person
come to spend sometime with u...
