The Wealthy men of our time

Mansions they have today
Imported material they use
Built in a Serene environment
Spending millions of money.

Parties they attend today
As chairman of the Occasion
Spending as much as they like
Neglecting the Islamic paths.

Shame on the rich men of today
Who spend not their wealth for Allah
Though billions they have in Banks
A penny they spend not for Allah sake.

As good and lovely your mansion is
As useless it is when dead
Others closing the door afterward
Though the owner(you) stays outside.

Spend your wealth for Allah sake
Imperative it is if Wealthy today
Not for today's sake alone
But for the days fast approaching
When it won't be useful for you.

Signed: Imodola


A man with zeal and enthusiasm.

Why have they not accept him The one who is so competent With zeal and determination Building upon good legacies. Malice we indulge deeply in Hiding from the obvious truth All because of our selfishness Considering not the others. Vote for the best of them all For a much better tomorrow A tomorrow without regret With glorious days for all.
