80 - He Frowned

While Muhammad was preaching to Qurayshi disbelievers, the blind Ibn Shurayh came

But Muhammad turned away and frowned when this Muslim man called out his name.

Muhammed’s hope was to make those notable Meccans, embrace the religion of Islam

But Muhammad, for all you know, you could have raised the spirits of your brother, the blind man

You could have given benefit; he blindly searched for you to listen to what you say

And you ignored him for the self satisfied ones, turned your attention their way.

You were sent only to warn, so do not be concerned whether or not they accept this faith

But from the eager ones in search of the truth, never turn your face!

No Indeed – Never turn from the believers to those ignorant of your Lord

This Qur’an is the best of lessons, those who wish to learn it, will be taught

It is written on honoured pages, by the hands of truthful scribes

Offering mankind divine knowledge on how to live their lives.

Woe to men like Abu Lahab – the ungrateful – the ignorant sycophant

Was he not created from something tiny? Yet he forgets and becomes arrogant

Man was a drop of sperm, then proportioned then released from the womb

To life, then to death and onto next life he will go through

Yet the disbelievers doubt this, and do not follow their Lord’s command

They should consider the development and growth, of their food from within the land

We pour down the water, which We cause the soil to absorb

From that grown all kinds of food you and your animals adore

And even if disbelievers ignore this, know there will come a Day when they believe

The Day with the Deafening blast, the Day when, from his family, man will turn and flee

As they will come to him begging ‘oh so and so... from your good deeds give me a share’

And he will respond ‘No, in this place it is just myself of who I will take care’

And even the Prophet’s families will come to them, in desperate search of aid

But Abraham’s father, Adam’s son and Lot’s wife will all be turned away

On that day some faces will show signs of rejoicing true believers

But on knowing God’s promises were true, others will be down cast, such is the fate of liars and deceivers.
