The Noble Qur'an and the TV Guide


They lie on the table side by side
The Noble Qur'an and the TV guide.
One is well worn and cherished with pride.
Not the Qur'an, but the TV guide.
One is used daily to help folks decide.
No, not the Qur'an, 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 Qur'an, but the TV guide.
The Word of Allah is seldom read.
Maybe a verse before they fall into bed.
Exhaused and sleepy and tired as can be.
Not from reading the Qur'an, from watching TV.
So then back to the table side by side,
Lie the Holy Qur'an 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 Qur'an
