What Did I Do Today...

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-Fatihah?
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 Ru'ku
Subhana Rabey'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 I know?
Or did my love of this world lead me astray?
Tell me what did I do today?

Sami Allah hu liman hamida
Rabbana Lakal Hamd.
Sami Allah hu liman hamida
Rabbana Lakal Hamd.

Though I've bowed to you with my face in the dust,
Subhana Raby'yal a'la.
The blessings you give I could never repay.
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 today?
Oh Allah, Tell me what did I do today?


Among my all-time favourite. Beautiful lyrics kan? He's a singer of many lovely nasheeds.

Get a sample of its flash here.

May I suggest Kau Kekasihku by Anis Ayuni for a good BM read. I won't say her novels are great, the storyline is pretty so-so, but she still managed to keep some suspense for her readers. All I knew I was keen on arriving the final page. In between all the cookings and preparations yesterday, I'd flipped through its pages and Dad giving me stares. heheee... It was pure satisfaction reading good novels. I've read all her novels, not all are recommended, and my other favourite is Gemersik Kalbu.

And visit here for some good bargains.

Have a nice day all...
