Behind enamel blocks,
therein it lies,
It moves in all
directions clock and anti-clockwise
If used correctly,
it can cause ranks to rise
But shooting without
aiming could lead to your demise.
A small piece of
flesh without a bone in sight,
It can cure friendship
and also incite fights,
Then cowardly
behind your teeth, safely it sits tight
And YOU get a
jab and a hook from the right.
It bears witness
about Allah and His Prophets
The hereafter
is where you’ll see the real profits
It remembers Allah
plentiful, but think nothing of it
It recites the
Quran wonderful, so start and you’ll love it.
It also has a bitter
side
If it boasts and
talks with pride,
You’ve backbitten
if you speak but hide
It’s called slander
if you lied,
Abusive language
leaves eyes wide
Make an effort,
make truth your bride.
“He who keeps quite,
gains salvation”
“Backbiting is
worse than fornication”
That’s our Prophet’s
declaration
Please take into
consideration
Take time out
for contempletion
About Allah, Lord
of all creation.
It recites Quran
to gain reward,
Use it for speeches,
make it your sword.
Anything that
will please the Lord,
To waste precious
time, that we can’t afford.
With Allah's name
begin your day
Remember Him while
you work or play
Keep evil doings
out of your way
On the straight
path you will stay.
If it sings, change
it to nasheeds
Pick up an Islamic
book to read
Most important
repeat your creed
For the Hereafter
sow your seed
For that day you’l
need every good deed.
Use it to supplicate,
use it to repent
At the All-Mighty’s
doorstep, drop and lament
Solely for worship
is why we were sent
Let not Satan
be an impediment
And keep Allah’s
remembrance immanent.
Keep Muslims safe
from its attack
Be they red or
be they black
Disunity is the
biggest drawback
So keep the unity
free from slack
Oh Allah! Keep
us on the straight track.
Its correct usage
whoso guarantees
And of that between
his knees
The Prophet will make certain he sees
Our entry into
Paradise with ease.
A humble effort,
not a song
An attempt to
pass a message on
It can do good,
it can do wrong
This poem was
about the tongue.
