| They
lie on the table side by side The Holy Quran and the T.V.
Guide. |
| One
is well worn and cherished with pride. |
| Not
the Quran, but the T.V. Guide. |
| One
is used daily to help folks decide. |
| No,
not the Quran, but the T.V. Guide. |
| As
the pages are turned, what shall they see. |
| Oh,
what does it matter, turn on the T.V. |
| So
they open the book in which they confide. |
| No,
not the Quran, but the T.V. 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 T.V. |
| So
then back to the table side by side, Lie the Holy Quran
and the T.V. 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 T.V. |
