Will You Travel With Me To Heaven Part Three

Imagine a king who has many Servants staying at his palace It would make no sense at all if those Servants do not fulfill their purpose Those servants were ordered to work And to respect that king at all times While the king gives them a place to stay They should always make his palace shine Any slave who does not work may Eventually be kicked out soon Any slave who works improperly May likewise end up without a room That king has a right to command His slaves to sing lovely songs of him To choose the number of times to wash A staircase, because he is 'king' That king has a right to command his Slaves to do well to his family To treat his close friends with respect And welcome his guests cheerfully To tell them not to touch this and that To disallow them from certain rooms To do what he commands them to do As he is the owner who rules So when Allah gives a command A command that must be obeyed You must obey Allah's Commandments Or else you might get yourself astray So if Allah commands you to pray To Him, five prayers everyday Don't ask 'why? ' Don't ask 'why five salahs? ' Just listen to God, and obey God lets you walk on the earth He made God gives you fresh air for you to breathe God keeps the clouds above you floating And gives you drink and food to eat God gave you a brain with which to think And still you ask 'why should you pray? ' We pray to Allah, the Mighty King Who lets us live each night and day When you're awake, when you're asleep The air you breathe each night and day What you inhale and what you exhale Are some things from God which you don't pay The ability to taste is a Gift from God which many just ignore Imagine if you could not taste the Food you eat, eating would be a bore You eat fruits and vegetables that God Created, from plants that Allah made You drink water which belongs to God And yet you ask 'why must we pray? ' --->PART FOUR
