Ramadan
Welcome to Ramadan,
the month of mercy.
Sit yourself calm
and witness the beauty.
Feel the pure breeze
under the shade of palm trees,
Forgiveness - even
if sins stretch seven seas.
The month of
reflecting on the life we’ve spent
And how it healed
after every dent.
The time to realize
your true objective
And to live Islam
fully and not selective.
The time to
appreciate the food and drink.
To unite rich and
poor and provide the link.
The month of the
struggle to grasp your soul,
For the next eleven
months, in full control.
This is the time
when the gates of hell are shut.
The devil is locked
up and his work is cut.
The doors of mercy
are opened up wide
And Allah’s
blessings are always on your side
This is the month
when the Qur’an was revealed,
The last revelation
– the door had been sealed.
A true guidance for
the whole of mankind,
No better words
elsewhere will we ever find.
This is the month in
which falls the Night of Power,
‘Better than a
thousand months*’, the blessings shower.
The angels descend
on us so that they may see
The faces of
believers in tranquility.
Don’t ignore this
Ramadan; it could be your last.
Strive to obtain
Allah’s pleasure and hold your fast.
Tomorrow could be
your final day, be prepared.
Seize today by the
neck and have no chance spared.
* "And what
will explain to thee what the Night of Power is?; The Night of Power
is better than a thousand months."
(Al-Qur`an
97:2-3)
