Curiosity Speaks

Listen to the Lament of Curiosity,
Listen to its words and reflect…
“O son of Adam where hath thou left me?
O son of Adam why hath thou abandoned me?
With me you had learned a lot of things,
From keeping away from the fire because it would hurt
To  why you need to sleep
But do you think that is enough??
Do you not want to know why you are alive?
Do you not want to know who controls all that is in the heavens and the earth?
Do you not want to understand what is going on around you?
Do you not want to know His message to you??
Do you not want to know that which will save you?
Or do you not want to know how this all would end?
What keeps u relaxed O son of Adam
You have abandoned me and found satisfaction in knowing so little
What great knowledge you have left behind because you have kept me aside
But perhaps if you had carried me along, you would have known
That this life is only a fleeting moment and everything would be gone
And that your Lord has indeed reserved a place for you, if you only knew
And to get there; there are certain things you must do
But how would you know all of these?? Your curiosity is gone…
So you go on ahead and take chances with your life
But don’t you realize that this is not just about you??
Have you thought of what to pass on to those that come after you
If those before had left me, would they have had anything to teach you?
Think! Reflect! and use me to learn
For your Lord will certainly ask you, what effort you had made…
To Learn and understand the message that He gave…
Have you thought of what to say??
O son of Adam, Seek knowledge and Implement it!
Before it’s too late…
