And We Call Ourselves Believers...
|
|
| |
In the
time of the Prophet, even the hypocrites prayed in the masjid every
day.
And we call ourselves believers, but in a masjid many of us hardly
ever pray.
They would fast in Ramadan and they would give some money in
zakat too.
And we call ourselves believers; would our bellies and pockets
say we're true?
They acted and they prayed as if they were the true
lovers of this deen.
And we call ourselves believers, but is salah even in
our daily routine?
They gave money in sadaqa, even though it caused
their hearts much pain.
And we call ourselves believers, yet in sadaqa,
many of us totally refrain.
They acted as if they loved the Quran,
they memorized it and all.
And we call ourselves believers, but many of us
only hang it on our wall.
They even went to the masjid when they heard
Bilal's mighty call.
And we call ourselves believers; yet many miss salah
for stuff like the mall.
They pretended that they loved you, they would
even hug and kiss you.
And we call ourselves believers; yet anger runs
between some of us like a flu.
They followed some sunnah, however they
did it just for show.
And we call ourselves believers, yet the sunnah many
of us just forgo.
They said La ilaha illalah, but will go to the Nar
because they weren't sincere.
And we call ourselves believers, yet to the
deen, many of us don't adhere.
In there hearts was a nasty disease, yet
they acted as if they really cared.
And we call ourselves believers, and
yet, its our actions that seem impaired.
Comparing ourselves to those
hypocrites is an interesting perspective.
And we call ourselves believers,
yet even compared to them many of us seem defective.
They were the
enemies of Allah, yet to Him they acted as if they were dear,
And we call
ourselves believers; well then, lets put this faith of ours in
gear!
