when i prostrate upon the earth it cried out,

O you who prostrate only for show!

You have ruined even me!



When i prostrate upon the earth it cried out,

Oh you of false heart filled with idols,

what value can your bowing possibly have?



Prostrate that would make the earth shake,

Are what pulpits ache for.



Faces that would shine with marks of prostration,

Where they have gone?

Hearts that would tremble in fear of Allah?

Where have they gone?



The gathering have dispered,

Those seeking You have left.

The cries of the night and dawn are no more,

Find them with a lamp in a daylight, you will not.





indeed todays life and priorities have changed as things other then Allah seems important to people. Muslims can never savor the delicious taste of worship when their hearts are devoted to a thousand other things rather than being solely devoted to Allah.



Do remember this faqir in your prayers

Jazak Allah
