20. In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious The Most Merciful Guess my name……… Rich in cover & nicely bound, in the hearts of the believers I am rarely found, High on a shelf I am kept, forgotten there I am left, With respect I do get lots of kiss, my main point is what they always miss, They neglect the message that is inside me, but in their graves they will always need me, At times I am used for a phony swear, my true use is very very rare, A miracle I am that can challenge the world, all they have to do is understand my word, I have wisdom - I have treasure, So much so that there is no measure, I am your savior – I am your guide, But who's there to take my ride, right from wrong is my frame, HOLY QURAN IS MY NAME
