Oh Allah!
All
praise be to Allah Who has brought the crescent back into sight!
Oh Allah bless this Ramadan, its day and its night!
The time when souls that have wandered come crawling back to You
again.
Used, bruised, torn and worn, from vicious wars with sin.
The
time when we dust off our Qur’ans, as we remove them from our
shelves.
The time when the devils are chained, and we realize how much evil
is from our own selves!
Abstaining
from sex, food and drink, forcing the heedless ones to think!
Think about where we are headed! Think about that Great Day to be
dreaded!
Standing in the crowded prayer,
Shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot as we reflect upon the sacred,
Knowing
that soon we will stand like this before Allah naked!
Oh Allah bless this Ramadan and our hearts will be so glad!
And grant us a great forgiveness... for we need it so bad!
Our young women have been losing their virginity. Oh parents
can’t you smell the blood?
Clothing
themselves in nakedness, hijabs left dragging in the mud!
Our young men have lost the desire to follow the Last Prophet, the
greatest example of them all!
And they compete with one another to be like the latest entertainer
or whoever can dribble a basketball!
Our
parents have been drunk off culture, television and money.
Funding their children’s imitation of the kuffar, thinking that
it’s just kind of funny!
Our students of knowledge have become like gangs, rejoicing only
amongst their
own kind.
Our
masajid have become factories of argumentation producing only
bewildered minds!
Oh Allah never let Your house be just a beautiful building of empty
spaces!
Oh Allah let these carpets ever be wet, with the tears of
prostrating and repenting faces!
And
oh Allah bless this Ramadan for us and our hearts will be so
overjoyed!
And grant us a great forgiveness or else we are so destroyed!
