Have You Done Your Duty?
Submitted by : qalamuddin on Poem Stories
Have you done your duty?
As a Muslim – significantly with integrity
Definitely no question about your loyalty
As to Allah and Rasul you obey with much modesty
Have you done your duty?
As an Imam or a Mufti
"Amar ma'ruf nahi mungkar" should be your policy
Thus building an Ummah with dignity.
Have you done your duty?
As the head of family,
Guiding, serving and protecting your ahli
From the torment of fire just as mentioned in Surah Al-Tahrim,O! So rightfully!***
Have you done your duty?
As a wife, whole-heartedly with sincerity
Upholding your husband's name and property
Insya'allah Jannah will be your place come eternity
Have you done your duty?
As a child showing piety
to your parents, you love and serve properly
just after Allah and Rasul in that priority!
Have you done your duty?
As brothers and sisters with great responsibility
Maintaining the peace and tranquility
While spreading Islam in unity.
Have you done your duty?
As the head of an Islamic country
Preserving her sovereignty
Ultimately bringing Islam to its height and glory
Have you done your duty?
As a member of a society
Promoting friendship and goodwill within the community
Regardless of race, language or religion with such impartiality
Have you done your duty?
To the poor and needy
Bridging the gap between them and the wealthy
With your act of sympathy, hence erasing a cause for animosity
Have you done your duty?
To Allah, individually pouring your time and energy
To heaven or hell – What will it be?
The choice is clear, dear brothers and sisters that is if YOU HAVE DONE YOUR DUTY!
*** Surah At-Tahrim verse 6: "O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe. Who disobey not (from executing) the Commands they receive from ALLAH, but do that which they are commanded".
