AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A BELIEVER..?
In the time of the Prophet, even the believers prayed in the masjid every day.
And we call ourselves believers, but in a masjid many brothers hardly pray.
They would fast in Ramadan and they would give some money in zakat too.
And we call ourselves believers; but would our pockets say we're true?
They prayed as if they were the true lovers of this deen.
And we call ourselves believers, but is salah even in our daily routine?
They gave money in sadaqa, without causing their hearts much pain.
And we call ourselves believers, yet in sadaqa, many of us totally refrain.
They loved the Quran, they memorized it and all.
And we call ourselves believers, but many of us only put it on our wall.
They even went to the masjid when they heard Bilal's mighty call.
And we call ourselves believers; yet many miss salah for stuff like the mall.
They loved each other, they would even hug and kiss you.
And we call ourselves believers; yet hatred runs between some of us like a flu.
They followed the sunnah.
And we call ourselves believers, yet the sunnah many of us just forgo.
