You get welcomed aboard in hands that love you
And you have no idea to make out who is who
All you do is cry away because you're sumwhere new
But this is the journey where you get to prove ureself-if only you knew...
As a welcome you get priviledged and a secret is whispered in your ear
You keep quiet for a while and it is the Adhaan that you hear
Followed by the Iqamah you now enter the world of Islam
Where Allah is ure Lord and your book is the Quraan.
At birth you aren't much aware of your destination
But later you do realise that like all journeys, this one must have a termination
This flight is unique where you can make a decision on board
And pick from a choice of two, that which will be your final abode.
As you grow up you realise that the good has a place of its own
That which glitters, which is called Jannat, to which you'd like to be flown
And Jahannum is the dwelling for those who are evil doers
A place you don't want to transit nor arrive in, that which is for disbelievers.
But your flight only follows the directions you give it
So you make up a map for your journey with your deeds, bit by bit
Your compass is the guidance you get from your fellow Muslims and your community
And you learn from previous passengers, be it Prophets or those who showed enmity.
To assist you, Allah has bestowed you with intellect
This gives you the power to differentiate and select
Good over evil if you want your arrival into a place filled with gems & fountains
And the arrow on your compass now points in the opposite direction to the place filled with fire and serpents.
So there you start: being generous and pious, obedient and honest
Fulfilling that which is compulsory and being at your best
Refraining from anything that makes you a bad human being
While abstaining from the forbidden, in all aspects of speaking, hearing or seeing.
For your service, your inflight entertainment includes mosques and islamic schools
Where the entertainment is so splendour it penetrates your soul and becomes your tools
That prevent you from any mishaps and calamities while you are heading towards your goal
And explain your journey and its unknown time period so you can understand your role.
And you are blessed with wealth that outbeats gold & silver
That you have to learn to use carefully & wisely, but not like a miser
It's all in your hands, you choose and have your own say
But do not allow a second of your time to run away.
So stop back and think where are you heading to for a moment
You don't know how long you have before all your 'wealth' is spent
You have the longest flight infront of you that you will never experience again
So fill out your arrival forms to read the destination of all gain
And do not lead your flight, your life, in utter vain...
