I WONDER ...
If the Prophet Muhammad visited you just for a day or two,
If he came unexpectedly I wonder what you would do.
Oh, I know you'd give your nicest room To such an honoured guest,
And all the food you'd serve him would be the very best,
And you would keep assuring him, You're glad to have him there,
That serving him in your home, Is joy beyond compare.
But... when you saw him coming, Would you meet him at the door,
With arms outstretched to your visitor?
Or... would you have to change your clothes before you let him in?
Or hide some magazines and put the Qu'ran where they had been?
Would you still watch the same movies On your T.V. set?
Or would you switch it off Before he got upset?
Would you turn off the radio And hope he hadn't heard?
Or wish you hadn't uttered that last hasty word?
Would you hide all your worldy music, And instead take hadith books out?
Could you let him walk right in, Or would you have to rush about?
And I wonder if the prophet spent A day or two with you,
Would you go right on doing, The things you always do?
Would you go on saying, The things you always say?
Would life for you continue, As it does from day to day?
Would your family squabbles, Keep up their usual pace,
And would you find it hard each meal To say a table grace?
Would you keep up each and every prayer Without putting on a frown?
And would you always jump early For prayer at dawn?
Would you sing the songs you always sing? And read the books you read?
And let him know the things on which , Your mind and spirit feed?
Would you take the Prophet with you Everywhere you plan to go?
Or, would you maybe change your plans, just for a day or so?
Would you be glad to have him meet Your very closest friends?
Or, would you hope they stay away Until his visit ends?
Would you be glad to have him stay Forever on and on...
Or would you sigh with great relief When he at last was gone?
It might be intersting to know, The things that you would do...
If Prophet Muhammad, in person, Came to spend some with you.
