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? '
