Where are you going?
Who do you follow?
Do you forget Allah and reveal your adornments for Fulan Ibn Fulan?
Do you neglect salah at the order of man?
Do you think you'll get far?
Did you hear of Saqar the place of burning?
Did you visit the masjid a place of learning?
Do you covet after miss universe? Who can't even recite a single verse, from the noble Quran from Al Kareem?
Forget a hurst you'll be 6 feet in the ground
You hear your family and friends leaving while you can't make a sound
Dark and alone with nothing but your deeds
You thought life was amusement and play but this life is for planting seeds
The grave constricts as you concede
Your ribs crack as you beg for relief
Oh Allah send be back please!
You shout and pray
Promising to do good, to never raise your head from sujood if you are granted but a single day
Nay! For it is but a lie you speak, The Most High will say He Gave you life long enough so taste the punishment today!
Two angels descend with eyes like lightening and voices like thunder
Munker and Naqeer
The epitomy of fear
You will wish to relinquish everything you held dear
To be freed from this trial but alas what your hands have put forth has come near
They ask you who is your Lord? What deen did you follow? Who is Muhammad (peace be upon him)
You meet their answers with stuttering, uh's and um's
A voice announces you have lied
You realise your fate is sealed and done
As your grave is furnished with the fire of Jaheim
An unimaginable blaze, for denying the unseen
Where are those celebrities you followed?
Where are the planets and constellations and horoscopes you followed?
Verily it is not the eyes that are blind but the hearts that are black and hollow
It's never too late to repent and change, do it now there may be no tomorrow
