Re: so little time...Ya Allah!!!

salam alaikum miss poet

masha'Allah wonderful poem

No TIME!!!!!

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Muslim duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Allah to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it
down...
But never found the time"

Salams
Ill tell you a story that comes to mind after reading that poem.
While in Madinah, we knew this shop keeper. He used to sell general grocery next to the prophet's masjid. He was a really nice man and i couldnt help but notice that he never used to record the sales he made on a cash till or similar. I asked him about it one day while doing my shopping. he laughed and said to me that the reason he did not need to record the sales from his store on a daily basis was that he remembered what he sold and how much money he made each time he stood up to pray. That story stayed with me ever since.
Wassalam
