As-salamu`alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

I wonder.......

If Prophet Muhammad (SAW) visited you, just for a day or two

If he came unexpectedly, I wonder what you would do?

Oh I know you would give your nicest room,

to such an honored guest

And you would surely serve him, your very very best.

You would be your finest, cause you're glad to have him there

That serving him in you're home, would be a joy without compare.

But when you see him coming, would you meet him at the door

With your arms outstretched in welcome,

for your respected visitor.

Or would you run to change your clothes, before you let him in

And hide some magazines to put the Quran, where they had been?

Would you still watch those movies, on your TV set

Or would you switch it off, before he gets terribly upset.

Would you turn off the radio, and hope that he had not heard

And wish that you did not sing, that song word by word?

Would you hide your worldly things,

and instead take the Hadith books out

Could you let him walk right in, or would you rush about?

And I wonder...if the Prophet (SAW) spent, a day or two with you

Would you go on doing the things, that you always do?

Would you go right on and say the things, that you always say

Would life for you continue, as it does from day to day.

Would your family conversations, keep up their usual pace

And would you find it hard at 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 up early, to say your Fajr 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 (SAW) 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 at last he has gone.

It might be interesting to know,

the things that you would really do

If Prophet Muhammad (SAW) came, to spend some time with you.
