NAIJA-SCHOLARS

We all commit sins today Sins of great magnitude Though little we think it is A result awaits it tomorrow. For Sins we commit intentionally We blame the Shaytaans for it Bringing excuses to ourselves Though our heart could say better. We ask for Allah's forgiveness now For he is the most forgiving creator Afterward we commit same sin again Giving unreasonable excuses for it. Our pleasure we strive to satisfy But Allah's mercy we neglected Commiting sins of great status Had we forgotten he is our Lord Who deserves to be feared all day. Oh my brother!!!  Repent with Sincerity Do thy not know Allah can't be decieved Do thy think you would repent at old age Remeber your tomorrow isn't guaranteed Repent sincerely for today won't be back.

Determined at the start Focused and dedicated Avoids all distractions What a diligent Person. He thinks of his future To be a righteous person The best among the best Though hard it is nowadays But he is ready to give a trial. Knowledge he seeks today Striving hard for all it takes For it is a weapon nowadays A weapon to lead the majority. What a diligent and wise person This world he lives with caution And His hereafter he forget not Relying on Allah in all his affairs For he knows we are travellers Who would all return to Allah.

Many are our focused plan Realistic we pray it becomes Its consequences we know not Feeling bad if it goes otherwise Forgetting it was planned by us Our lovely thought of goodness. Mockery others might indulge in Saying they knew it won't be real Making us feel we thought less & Our present position we deserve Though theirs they hide from us. Now we should be very delighted For Allah plan would be the best Let expect better things from him For Allah knows what we know not. Glad tidings to those who rely on him And accept his verdict on all matters For they are among today's best Men.

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

As I sat glorifying Allah I imagined a bridge afar It's a very narrow bridge Everyone wishing to pass Unhurt and safe they prayed Many more trooping in All on just a narrow path. Some got to their destination So glad and overjoyed They seem to be the best Others struggling thought But so sad they left early With nothing behind. The bridge of Success I see People plying at all cost A tight and narrow path But determined are they. Less do they know of its end A big squared hole it is Everyone has its own dug It marks the end of competition Though successful they were But inevitable is the DEATH. Back you would be to Allah The Lord who created the Universe Verily, blessed are the Muhmeen For they care for the hereafter As it matters most to them. Signed: Imodola

Many centuries ago, one man came to the fourth Caliph and the leader of the Muslims, Ali bin AbiTaalib, and deposed "I will ask you four questions, so give me their answers" He continued, "The questions are: What is compulsory and what's most compulsory? What's close by and what's the closest? What's amazing and what's most amazing? Then, what's difficult and what's most difficult?  The Amirul Mu'mineen calmly replied, "What's compulsory is obeying Allah and worshipping him and what's most compulsory is abandoning sins and disobedience to Allah. What's close by is the day of judgement and what's closest is the Death. What's amazing is this world and what's most amazing is the love of this World. What's difficult is the Grave and what's most difficult is leaving this World without making provisions. Published by: Imodola (copied)

You  might trend on a path A path that is not with ease People advicing you to quit As they think you are unfit And those before didn't try Impossible they think it is But possible I assume it is For Allah is sufficient for YOU. You might have prayed a lot For great blessings and mercy People laughing behind YOU For many have prayed for such But having nothing at the end Never lose hope on your Dua'a For Allah is sufficient for YOU. You might aim high today With lot of great ambitions Not to be decieved they say As it can never come true Foolish of you they think But patience you need For Allah is sufficient for YOU.
