As-salaamu alaikum wa-rahmatullaah…
I have recently been reading Islamic poetry online which has been helping me become more spiritual and to learn more about my religion in a creative manner…
This is one poem that hopefully will open the eyes of some of the posters here on Gupshup. We neglect to truly respect and honor The Holy Quran which was sent down to us from Allah as a guideline for our life… I’m sure every household has at least one Quran sharif, but how many of us actually read it everyday whether it be one surah or one verse? Please make time to read it as much as possible… instead of the extra ten minutes spent online chatting, blogging, checking emails, reading nonsense, read something which will strengthen your iman adn help you in this life and the hereafter. Thanks 
LAMENT OF THE QURAN
As an ornament do they adorn me,
Yet they keep me and sometimes kiss me.
In their celebrations they recite me,
In disputes they swear by me,
On shelves do they securely keep me
Till another celebration or dispute,
When they need me.
Yes, they read me and memorize me,
Yet only an ornament am I..
My message lies neglected,
My treasure untouched,
The field lies bare, where blossomed once true glory.
Wrong is the treatment I receive
So much to give I, but none is there to perceive.
