A Blessed Friend

A dear friend has come to visit me

Since departed he has despite my plea

Perhaps I will get to see him in another year

Ah with him present there is such an atmosphere

Oh!  I hope that I have treated him well

That the fragrance from the promised Garden I can smell

How noble is my friend that with him blessings abound

From His Master who is not by any limit bound

I tried to grab much of it and bank it for my salvation

The profits from it is all free of taxation

My friend showed me a book I’ve heard before

Only this time it was just so much sweeter that afore

Even sometimes teary-eyed,  I read it cover to cover

In the masjid, in the home, in the car I heard it all over

There was a reminder here and a reminder there

And a new lesson here and everywhere

My friend told me than indeed he was blessed

For no other reason but because of this Book

In it is so much to learn about the author

From His Mercy is that He gave us a Law

He teaches us what we knew not

And that were created from a mere clot

Reminders and lessons of people past

And this life will not forever last

A guide for those who have understanding

Whose journey through life with have a happy landing

It is for us to hold onto it tight

For this book is most definitely full of might

From this book lessons and guidance we do take

We have fasted only for God’s sake

So farewell, O month of fasting

May your rewards you brought be for us everlasting

We are forever grateful to our Lord to whom is All Glory

Read Al-Quran and you will not be sorry

For He teaches also about some amazing men

Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus – peace be upon them

To their own people was their preaching

Worship the ONE true God was their teaching

They were submitters, They were Muslim

The One true religion is Islam
