think on it

by Bint Abdul Khaliq



How 'cool' is 'cool'

before you're so cold

that you care not

of what's being told?

That the Qur'an and Sunnah

so beautiful and adored

is not important anymore

just blatantly ignored?




How 'hot' is 'hot'

before you get burnt

don't play with fire

haven't you learnt?

The flames of immodesty

burn away shame

And faith is sacrificed

for excuses so lame


How 'in' would be 'in'

before you fall into sin

before deen is compromised

and dunya is prioritised?

Before pleasing people

is your ultimate aim

And Allah's pleasure

is sacrificed for fame?


how 'open minded' is 'open minded'

before your conscience falls out

and the things that you do

and those that suit you?

Before the laws of Allah

you hold in contempt,

considering inadequate

that which was Divinely sent?


Where do we draw the line?

Where is the boundry?

These labels we crave

yet evil it paves

Let's aspire for the title

that certainly will be enviable

on a day that will capture

every soul with fear


A smile will he wear

such a sight will be rare

His status will be raised

His name will be praised

He will have succeeded

as the warnings he had heeded

No grief shall he be in

He who strived to be a 'Mu'min'
