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 Your Very Best
And You Would Keep Assuring Him
You're Glad To Have Him There
That Serving Him In Your Home
Is A Joy Beyond Compare
But...When You See Him Coming
Would You Meet Him At The Door
With Arms Outstretched In Welcome
To Your Visitor?
Or...Would You Have To Change Your Clothes
Before You Let Him In?
Or Hide Some Megazines
And Put The Quran Where They Had Been?
Would You Still Watch R-Rated 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 He Hadn't Heard?
And Wish You Hadn't Uttered
That Last Loud, Hasty Word?
Would You Hide Away Your Music
And Instead Take Hadith Books Out?
Could You Let Him Walk Right In
Or Would You Rush About?
And, I Wonder....If Prophet Spent
A Day Or Two With You
Would You Go Right On Doing
The Things You Always Do?
Would Your Family Conversation
Keep Up Its Usual Pace?
And Would You Find It Hard Each Meal
To Say A Table Grace?
Would You Keep Up Each Every Prayer
Without Putting On A Frown?
And Would You Always Jump Up Early
For Prayers 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'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 That You Would Do
If The Prophet Muhammad, In Person, Came
To Spend Some Time With You...
Thanks Lola ;)
