Assalamu Alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Two voices inside me One good, one bad Two voices inside me What's the difference between the two? One will make me happy, The other will make me sad Two voices inside me Which one should I choose? As I walked to my bedside A voice gently said: wake up for fajr and glorify your Lord. I set my alarm for fajr and then went to sleep. A few minutes passed, then the alarm went off. I awoke and remembered my fajr and to glorify my Lord But then a voice whispered: sleep! Sleep! The night is long I lay in my bed, listening to the two voices Two voices inside me One good, one bad Two voices inside me What's the difference between the two? One will make me happy, The other will make me sad Two voices inside me Which one should I choose? As I went to the masjid I prayed to rakat's After the masjid I would buy a gold set I looked in my poket, I found twenty-pounds Oh no! I though I'm six-pounds short I looked around and noticed a box, it was labelled `charity box' A voice strongly whispered: take the six-pounds from the charity box! No-one will notice Another voice gently said: Allaah is watching you from above, leave the gold set- it's a worldly thing, give the twenty-pounds in charity instead, you're reward is with Allah in the next abode. Two voices inside me One good, one bad Two voices inside me What's the difference between the two? One will make me happy, The other will make me sad Two voices inside me Which one should I choose? I had tidied the kitchen, and finished my homework I sat on the settee with nothing to do, my free-time had come What could I do? A voice slowly whispered: watch the TV everyone's watching it, you're left out. Another voice gently said: read the Qur'an, you'll earn some reward, leave the TV, it's a waste of time, you see it's a worldly thing. Two voices inside me One good, one bad Two voices inside me What's the difference between the two? One will make me happy, The other will make me sad Two voices inside me Which one should I choose? At the end of the day before going to sleep I asked myself: what did I do today? I woke up for fajr and glorified my Lord I went to the masjid and gave some charity I read the Qur'an and didn't waste my time I kept away from the worldly things I learnt that inside me I had two voices, I learnt what was the difference from the two. One always whispered to me evil things- and that was the whisperings of the shaytaan The other voice always gently spoke- and that was the Angel reminding me to do good All praise be to Allaah, I chose the voice of the Angel All praise be to Allaah, it made me happy All praise be to Allaah I had beaten shaytaan All praise be to Allaah I had been guided May Allaah guide me and guide you, and help us to choose the right path, and to forbid the evil whisperings of the shaytaan.
