Music: A Muslim's View!
The language of frogs, birds, and bees,
Or dolphins, crickets, the bristling of trees
Are nothing but praise to Allah.
But for us, we choose music to sooth ourselves,
And leave the Quran sitting on the shelves.
Without music, the devil will still whisper,
As he promised to bring humans to hellfire,
But, with music, he will be much stronger,
And humans will stray further and further.
He sings and whispers, He tells many lies,
And blurs our path to Paradise.
Beautiful lyrics are definitely soothing,
Without the guitars and drums banging,
Without the shrieking of a human voice,
And without the sounds of an electronic noise.
How many songs tell us to pray?
Or do good, each and every day?
Most of them are but to lead us astray.
Dramas, movies, Hollywood, Cool!
But those who follow are ignorant fools,
To waste our time looking at lies,
It's definitely not the choice for the wise.
The Quran was sent with various laws,
To remind humans to correct their flaws.
The devil, nay, you shall never follow,
Because his tricks are abound to those who know.
The Prophet's life was one so great,
For all mankind to emulate,
Still why we stray, I do not know?
Too much Prince or Sheryl Crow?
Some music is good, Some make you fall,
But why need them all?
Why listen to something that can destroy,
When the music of Paradise we shall enjoy.
Heaven and Hell is a choice we make,
But why choose the wrong path to take?
For those in doubt in which to choose,
Islam is the choice, you will not lose.
Philosopher, no, I may not be,
But the meaning of life I will always try to see,
What I say, is what I be,
Allah is the judge, not you or me.
