I WONDER
If the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) 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 honoured guest.
And all the food you'd serve to him,
Would be the very best.
And you'd keep assuring him,
You're glad to have him there.
That serving him in your home,
Is joy beyond compare.
But... when you saw him coming,
Would you meet him at the door,
With arms outstretched in welcome,
To your visitor?
Or... would have to change your clothes,
Before youlet him in?
Or hide some magazines and put,
The Quran where they had been?
Would you still watch X-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 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 the Prophet (pbuh) 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 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 and 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 things on which
Your mind and spirit feed?
Would you take the Prophet (pbuh) with you,
Every where 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 (pbuh) in person,
came
To spend some time with you
