A Nice Poem


They lie on the table side by side -

The Holy Quran and the TV Guide.
One is well worn and cherished with pride.
Not the Quran, but the TV Guide.
One is used daily to help folks decide.
Not the Quran, but the TV Guide.
As the pages are turned, what shall they see?
Oh, what does it matter, turn on the TV
So they open the book in which they confide.
No, not the Quran, but the TV Guide.
The Word of Allah is seldom read.
Maybe a verse before they fall into bed.
Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be.
Not from reading the Quran, from watching TV
So then back to the table side by side,
Lie the Holy Quran and the TV Guide.
No time for prayer, no time for the Word,
The plan of Istiqama is seldom heard.
But forgiveness of sin, so full and free,
Is found in the Quran, not on TV

Take 60 seconds & give this a shot! Let's just see
if Satan stops this one.
All you do is -

1) say:

A- Subhan Allah
B- Alhamdulila
C- Allahu Akbar
D- La ilaha ila Allah Mohammad rasool Allah
E- Allahuma sali aala sayidna Mohammad wa ala alihi
Wasahbihi wasal'um

ON THE TABLE SIDE BY SIDE

On the table side by side
The Holy Bible and the TV Guide
One is well worn but cherished with pride,
Not the Bible but the TV Guide.
One is used daily to help folks decide,
No! It isn't the Bible, it's the TV Guide.
As pages are turned, what shall they see?
Oh, what does it matter, turn on the TV.
So, they open the book in which they confide --
No, not the Bible, it's the TV Guide.
The Word of God is seldom read,
Maybe a verse as they fall into bed,
Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be,
Not from reading the Bible, but watching TV.
So, then back to the table, side by side,
Are the Holy Bible and the TV Guide,
No time for prayer, no time for the Word;
The plan for salvation is seldom heard.
Forgiveness of sin so full and free
Is found in the Bible, no on TV!!

No prizes for guessing which one is the original and which one the photocopy.
Thanks, Pilgrim.

The plan of Istiqama is seldom heard.

Istiqama means - straighforwardness. How does the above then make sense?

The quran has no concept for sin so what is actually found in the quran?

Thanks to Pilgrim.1's eagle eyes . . . now we know this was nothing but shameless plagiarism of a christian poem. How low can these people descend?

Is there no end to the deceptions?
