Poem: A story beyond degree!

This is a story beyond degree
Listen to this even if you disagree
The duty of a Muslim from the Highest decree
The very nature of our responsibility

First, from the East or the West
Irregardless of your quest
Allah and Rasul, you must confess
Beyond doubt you have to attest

Second, from a father to a child
No effort is too mild
Once when puberty starts
Salah become a part

Third, from the weak or the strong
In a month where nothing can go wrong
Observing the fast is to gain piety
But only a few really knew and that¢s a pity!

Forth, from rich to the poor
A request not so dear
The extra you have of dollars and cents
Remember to give just a meager 2.5 percent

Fifth, from dawn to dusk
Yet another great task
Haj when all is ready not just the money
To partake a once a life time journey

These my friends are the five
Practice this all your life
Alone or within your circles
So simple and yet many find it difficult

Thus, from the cradle to the grave
Not to fall from disgrace
A Muslim great task
- Seeking knowledge is a must

A true Muslim will not insist
As life on earth is an oasis
Not like Machiavellians persist
And all ills we must resist

From this world to the land beyond
A small consistent deed is not a yawn
As meeting Allah is what we desire!
Surely Islam, Iman and Ihsan protect from hellfire
