What did I do today?



What Did I Do Today?
by Dawud Wharnsby Ali

Oh the moon has come
The day is done
The night has covered up the sun.
I have stood so often before you to pray
But I wonder Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
Did I remember the words of Al-Fatiha?
Did I take time to thank you for all that I have?
Did I call on you to guide my way?
Tell me, what did I do today?

I have whispered to you
As I made ruku
Subhana Rabiy'yal adheem.
But was my faith
Bright or grey?
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
Did I smile at my brother?
Was I kind to my mother?
Did I teach another something that I know
Or did my love of this world lead me astray?
Tell me, what did I do today?

Sami Allah hu liman hamida
Rabanna lakal hamd.
Sami Allah hu liman hamida
Rabanna lakal hamd.
La illaha il Allah.
La illaha il Allah.

Though I've bowed to you
with my face in the dust,
subhana raby'yal a'la
Did I turn to you
And did I obey?
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
Did I use my time?
Did I use my mind?
If I search my heart what will I find?
The light of your guidance is a glimmering ray,
Tell me, what did I do toady?
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?

    "Jalan dakwah hanya satu. Jalan inilah yang dilalui oleh Rasulullah s.a.w. dan para sahabat baginda. Demikian juga kita dan para pendokong dakwah, sama-sama melaluinya berpandukan taufik dari Allah s.w.t. Kita dan mereka melaluinya berbekalkan iman, amal, mahabbah (kasih sayang) dan ukhuwwah (persaudaraan). Rasulullah s.a.w. menyeru mereka kepada iman dan amal, kemudian menyatupadukan hati-hati mereka di atas dasar mahabbah dan ukhuwwah. Berpadulah kekuatan iman, kekuatan akidah dan kekuatan kesatuan. Jadilah jamaah mereka jamaah yang ideal sebagai model. Kalimahnya mesti lahir dan dakwahnya pasti menang walaupun ditentang oleh seluruh penghuni muka bumi ini." [Syeikh Mustafa Masyhur]
