Take Time.....Give it a Thought

Recently I came across a poem  in Harakah, November 3, 2011 issue that seemed familiar that brought me down memory lane during my high school days in the late  70's . During those days, I often copied inspiring English poems and excerpts from books and newspapers and paste it onto the front cover  of my notebooks. Eventhough I did not understand some of the words in the poem, it did inspired me especially during my stressfull, weary days.


This is the the poem titled Take time that Lanh(the article writer) found in a phamplet at the Melaka hospital recently that though not new to me have made me realised that it is time to slow down and make time for all these beautiful things before it is too late . 

We tend to rush in doing things madly these days that we forgot that there are many other things that we should make time before our time is up. As muslims we have to  balance our daily activities so that we achieve our target, that is Jannatul Firdaus in the hereafter.

Thank you Lanh for bringing foward this inspirational poem. 

Take time......

Take time to think.... It is the source of power

Take time to play...It is secret of perpetual youth

Take time to read... It is the fountain of wisdom

Take time to pray..... It is the greatest power on earth

Take time to love  and beloved..... It s God given priviledge

Take time to be friendly.... It is the road to happiness

Take time to laugh.... It is the music of the soul

Take time to give... It is short a day to be selfish

Take time to work .... It is the price of success

Take time to do charity..... It is the key to heaven
