Everyday as I wake up not at dawn
My mind start working the moment I yawn
There were many things to do, O dear!

That's why I left behind my Subuh prayer
I didn't have the time to sit longer to praise Allah S.W.T.
To me rushing out after prayer is nothing odd...

Since work, I had been busy every minute
Completing my jobs
No time did I have to Allah to pray
Too many things to do and zikir is rare
For Allah, I really had no time to spare..

Working all day to secure my future
When I reached home, I preferred to watch TV and sleep
I chat with computer and I didn't read the Quran
I spent too much time surfing the Internet

Sad to say, my faith was falling flat...
The only time I have left is weekends
During which I prefer having fun ...
I couldn't spare time to go to the mosque
I'm too busy, that's the BIG EXCUSE...

I did my five prayers but did so quickly
After prayer, I didn't sit longer to reflect quietly
I didn't have time to help the needy ones
I was loaded with work as my precious time runs
No time at all to visit a sick Muslim friend
To orphans and elderly, I hardly lent a hand

I'm too busy, forget the community
When there were gatherings, I did'nt help
My life was already full of stress
So I didn't counsel a Muslim in distress

I didn't spend much time with my family
For I thought, doing so is a waste of time...
No time to share with fellow Muslim about halal and haram
No time to do Sunnah prayers at all
All these contribute to my iman is fall..

I'm busy here and busy there
I've no time at all, that's all I care
I went for religious lessons, just once in a while
For I'm too busy making a pile...

I worked all day and I slept all night
Too tired for Tahajjud and it seemed not right
To me, earning a living was already tough
So I only did basic deeds but that's not enough..
No time at all, to admire Allah's creation
No time to praise Allah and seek Allah Compassion
Although I know how short is my life
For Islam, I really didn't strive...

Finally the day comes, when Allah calls for me
And I stood before Allah with my Life's History
I feel so guilty because I should have prayed more
Isn't that what a Muslim lives for?
To thank Allah and do more good deeds
And the Quran is for us all to read..

Now at Judgment Day, I'm starting to fret
I've wasted my life but it's too late to regret
My entry to Paradise depend on my good behavior
But I've not done enough nor did proper prayer
My "good deed book" is given from my right
An angel opened my "book" and read out my plight.
Then the angel chided me....

"O You Muslim servant, you are the one,
Who is given enough time, yet not much is done
Do you know that your faith is loose? saying "no time" is only an excuse.
Your "good deed book" should be filled up more with all the good work you stood up for.."
