BY FARHAT
Ramadan is near, its near
Ramadan oh so dear, so dear
During this month we must fast
Opportunity for our good deeds to amass
From food and drink we abstain
Satan this month is put on a chain
Wake late in the night for Tahajjud
Pray like you really truly should
Duas at this early hour readily accepted
Almighty ALLAH hears all, the Most Elevated
Then eat your delicious sehri food
Throughout the day don’t be in a mood
Muslims fast all over worldwide
Rewards in this month multiplied
Your eyes will soon open up wide
Looking at all those foods fried
But don’t just anxiously await the iftaar
Make dua, ask to be kept from sins afar
Recite the Holy Qur’an much
Each and every sunnah try to clutch
Make good speech your norm
Extra Nawafil Salah do perform
Having kept your fast during the day
At night Taraweeh stand and pray
Practice the beautiful way of our Prophet
And for eternity hereafter increase your profit!
