BUSY.....

Everyday as i wake up at dawn,
My mind starts working the moment i yawn,
There were many things to do,
Thats why i hastily did my subuh prayer,
i didn't have time to sit longer to praise The lord,
To me rushing out after prayer is nothing odd?

Since school,i had been busy every minute
Completing my tutorials and banding it in
my quizzes took up most of my time always
No time did i have to Allah to pray
too many things to do and zikir is rare
For Allah, i really had no time to spare?

when i grew up and started my career
working all day to secure my future
when i reached home,i preffered to have fun
ichatted on the phone but i didn't read the Quran
i spend too much time surfing the internet
Sad to say, my faith was falling flat

the only time i have left is weekends
During which i prefer window shopping with my friends
i couldn't spare time to go to the mosque
i'm too busy, that's the BIG EXCUSE..

i did my prayers but did it so quickly
after prayer, i didn't sit longer to reflect quietly
i didn't have time to help the needy ones
i was loaded with work as my precious time runs

no time at all to visit a sick muslim
to orphans and elderly, i hardly lent a hand
i'm too busy to do community service
when there were gatherings, i helped the least

my life is full of stress
so i didn't counsel a muslim in distress
i didn't spend much time with my family
because i thought, doing so is a waste of time

no time to share with a non muslim about Islam

eventhough i know inviting causes no harm
no tie to do sunnah prayers at all
all these contribute to my imaan's fall

i'm busy here and busy there
i've no time at all that's all i care
i went to religious lessons,juz once in a while
coz i'm too busy making a pile

i worked all day and i slept all night
too tired for tahajjud and it seemed not right
to me, earning a living was already tough
so i only did basic deeds but that's not enough

no time at all to admire God's creation
no time to praise Allah and seek His Compassion
although i know how short is my life
for IslaM i really didn't strive

finally the day comes, when The Lord calls for me

and i stood before Him with my Life's History
i feel so guilty bcoz i could have prayed more
isn't that what a muslim lives for?
to thank Allah and do more deeds
and the Quran is for all of us to read

now at Judgement day, i'm starting to fret
i've wasted my life but it's too late to regret
my entry to Paradise depends on my good behaviour
but i've not done enough nor did proper prayers

my 'good deed book' is given from my right
an angel opened my 'book' and read out my plight

Then the angel chided me

"o, you muslim servant, you are the one,

who is given enough time,yet not much is done
do you know that your faith is loose
saying 'no time' is only an excuse
your 'good deed book' should be filled up more
with all the good work you stood up for

hence, i only recorded those little good deeds
as i say this, i know your eyes will mist
i was about to write some more,you see
but i did not have THE TIME to list
