As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would
talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or
thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday. But
I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear.
When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few
minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy. At one
point you had to wait, fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in
a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to
talk to me, but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the
latest gossip instead. I watched patiently all day long. With all your
activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me.
I noticed that before lunch you looked around, may be you felt
embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You
glanced three or four tables o! ver and you noticed some of your friends
talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't. That's okay.
There is still more time left, and I hope that you will talk to me yet.
You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do. After a
few of them were done, you turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV
or not, just about anything goes there and you spend lot of time each
day in front of it not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show.
I waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal, but
again you didn't talk to me.
Bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said good night to
your family you popped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That's okay
because you may not realize that I am always there for you. I've got
patience, more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to
be patient with others as well.
I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or
thought or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided
conversation. Well, you are getting up once again. And once again I will
wait, with nothing but love for you. Hoping that today you will give me
some time. Have a nice day!
Your companion, Salaah

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy
Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I
am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
