And you will see the barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in the construction of tall buildings." (Sahih Hadith)
BEDOUINS
In the desert-cold night mother tucked kids to sleep,
they were hungry and tired, for a bath in urgent need.
She didn't lit the fire to make the room cozy and warm,
instead she narrated to them a hadith very well-known.
The hadith of Jibril filled their hearts with joy and pride,
each of them imagined a big tower-house in their mind.
I want to be an architect, the eldest revealed his dream,
me an engineer - said the girl, united we'll make a team.
I'll be the builder, the youngest said, and fell fast asleep,
mother's eyes filled with tears, their words hit very deep.
The blessed Prophet could choose to tell any other sign,
he chose to ease the hardships to the bedouin bloodline.
He told them out of mercy and consideration in advance,
that their pains and sufferings will for sure reach the end.
They will become prosperous after they endure destitute,
but they must remain grateful to Allah without an attitude.
We can witness now that his predicted omen was correct,
He deserves our everlasting love and the biggest respect.
Allahumma salli wa salim wa barik ala Nabiyyina Muhammed
