I had to dig out this poem 9 years after I wrote it.
Can’t say why, I can only pray, pray and pray that Allah touches the heart of the person mentioned. As what I feared when I wrote it 9 years ago, without knowledge of the unknown, has happened.
I’ve heard Al-Moh,
that the world outside A.B.U
is real tough, stiff and horrible
that the wrong people and even shaytaan
will want you in their clan
I’ve heard also
that there have been cases
of people who were brothers on campuses
and later became something else
when people’s eyes were somewhere else
I’ve heard all these
and so much more
make us a promise Al-Moh
that come what may
in Allah’s camp shall you be all day
Promise us that
when next we see
In Shaa Allah in the company of Prophet Muhammad SalAllahu alayhi wa salam and his wifeys
either speaking pidgin english
or heaven’s arabic
or even if it’s here on earth
that you shall In Shaa Allah remain that Al-Moh
whose write-ups got us fired up
PS: The fears expressed in this innocent poem, have come to pass. This has made me realise that I am in no small measure being shielded by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. I can’t thank Allah enough. Indeed, “…….Qalilan maa tashkurun……” (Surah Ar-Rahman).
Alhamdulillah. Have you said yours today out of sincere shukr?
Please make dua for Al-Moh, that Allah opens his eyes to the truth once again and eases for him the difficulties which led to the coming to pass of my fears in the first place.
Wa Allahu Ta’ala A’alam
