A Ramadan Poem for student Jamaal Muhammad

RAMADAN HAS BEEN GOOD FOR ME

WITH QUR'AN AND SUNNAH

I'VE BEEN MADE FREE

BLESSINGS SHOWERED UPON ME

TO CLEANSE MY SOUL

THROUGH THE QUR'AN IN RAMADAN

I'VE FOUND MY GOAL

CLIMB THE STEEP MOUNTAIN OF RAMADAN

DEFEATING HELL AND FIRE

CLIMB THE STEEP MOUNTAIN OF RAMADAN

OF THAT WE CAN NEVER TIRE.

BUT THOSE ON A JOURNEY

THOSE ELDERLY OR SICK

WOMEN PREGNANT OR NURSING

ARE DEVINELY BLESSED TO PICK

THEY'RE ALL PERMITTED TO BREAK THE FAST

AND MAKE UP EQUAL DAYS

ALLAH'S TRUE LOVE AND MERCY

IS SHOWN IN MANY WAYS

AFTER THE MONTH OF SHABAN

WHEN THE NEW MOON COMES IN SIGHT

MUSLIMS CALLED TO INTENSE DEVOTION

SELF-DENIAL LEADS THE FIGHT!!!

NO FOOD, NO DRINK, NO SEX

NO LYING OR PROFANITY

FROM FIRST LIGHT TO IFTAR

THE STRUGGLES WE WILL SEE

FASTING'S THE PRESCRIPTION

FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE

GREATER AWARENESS OF OUR RABB

MAY WE ALL SEEK TO ACHIEVE

FASTING IN THE MONTH OF RAMADAN

IS TRULY AN ESSENTIAL PART

OF BEING A TRUE MUSLIM

HELPS PURIFY THE HEART

RAMADAN IS THE MONTH

IN WAS SENT DOWN THE QUR'AN

A PURE SIGN OF GUIDANCE

FOR ONE AND ALL

THROUGH-OUT RAMADAN

MAY WE HEED THE CALL

RAMADAN NEAR IT'S END

ALLAH SENDS DOWN TO US

A SPECIAL PRIZE TO WIN

TALKING ABOUT THE NIGHT OF POWER

AND DURING THIS TIME

BLESSINGS THEN ARE SHOWERED

ON THE CONSCIENCE MIND

AFTER A MONTH OF FASTING

FROM SUN-UP TO SUN-SET

OUR SPIRITS EVER-LASTING

AND NOTHINGS STOPPED US YET

WE SEARCH FOR THE NIGHT OF POWER

BLESSING THROUGH and THROUGH

ALLAH HAS COMMANDED

EVERYTHING WE DO

CLIMBING THE STEEP MOUNTAIN OF RAMADAN

MAY ALLAH EXCEPT OUR FASTING

CLIMB THE STEEP MOUNTAIN OF RAMADAN

THE FIRDAUS IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING
