O People of Quran! Where are you?

By Umm Ibrahim

O people of Quran! Where are you?
Your Quran waits for you,
Day in and day out,
As you waste away the day,
As you slumber through the night.

Your Quran waits for you,
As you flip through the magazines,
As you surf the internet,
As you watch the movies.

Your Quran waits for you,
Your family and your friends,
Your studies and your job,
You have time for them all

But your Quran waits for you,
Day in and day out,
Neglected and abandoned.
Won’t you pick it up today?

O people of Quran! Where are you?
Don’t you fear the day,
When the Prophet will say,
My people had abandoned the Quran

O people of Quran!
Open the Quran
Listen to the words of Allah
As He speaks to you

Watch the miracles
as the skin trembles,
as the tears flow,
as the soul rejoices,

O people of Quran!
Come back to your companion and your guide
Come back to the one who will plead for you
Come back to the one who will shade you on that day
