What is your objective in life?
Money, remunerative job, lavish holidays, a beautiful wife?
There is no point in us denying
Each heart beat brings us closer to dying
You’ll breath your last
Your life will have a past
Don’t pretend
You know very well death is not the end
You will taste death and death never waited
Look around you, everything is created
It has a creator, it has a meaning
A mother gives birth and then comes it’s weaning
The sun rises and gives us light
It sets, then falls the blanket of night
The plants will grow, then falls the rain
They give fruits to man and too, they will wane
Why does man think he will get away?
Spending life aimlessly as if he’s here to stay
A fixed time is appointed, everything will perish
Everything you hate, everything you relish
Except Almighty ALLAH, he will remain
And then will come Judgement, all in one plain
ALLAH will say, I gave you life
I gave you health, wealth and a wife
What did you do with your time?
What did you do in your prime?
Have you done your daily five times Namaz?
It’s compulsory whether you are a king, jobless or capataz
Have you well treated your parents?
Have you given them in their old days support and accompaniment?
What did you do with your material gains and money?
Did you pay zakat and help the needy?
With parents, wife, friends and relatives have you been docile?
With those you cut-off, did you reconciled?
Did you spread my message, did you spread Islam?
Did you read the Holy Quran?
Quran is not made for shelves
Quran is made for ourselves
My friends, we are so blessed
ALLAH gave us Islam to supercede all the rest
Our objective is to worship our lord, the most high
The reward is heaven where no one will die
This life is just a cage
We should live it by his orders to be safe from his rage
Protect yourself and your family from hell
Embrace Islam and all will be well
For the deeds of this life, we’ll pay the price
In the depths of hell or paradise
