Oh my beloved Prophet!
What do I say about this world today?
The world is no longer as it was
And the Muslims as they should be!
Today, if people follow your way of life
They are an outcast from the modern way.
You stuck to what was halal
And avoided that was haram
You were the righteous one
Today if we do the same
Then we are the extreme ones!
You married many women
Took care of them how you could
You were the best husband
Today if we do the same
Then we are looked down upon
Like those who have committed a sin!
Your family went through months
On dates and water in poverty
And whatever you could provide
You were the best son in law
Today if we do the same
Then we are irresponsible
Who cannot provide!
Your daughter’s request for aid
Was met with a dua to recite
You were the best father
Today if we do the same
Then we are fathers with no heart
Who cannot fulfil their needs!
You lived your life in poverty
Didnt aspire for the riches
You were the best among men
Today if we happen to be poor
And do not aspire for the same
Then we are the worst of men
Who deserve no respect!
Oh my beloved Prophet!
What do I tell about this world?
The world is no longer as it was
And the Muslims as they should be!
