It was because of him I was deprived,
He had deceived so many,
He kept coming at me until I died,
I still didn’t realize amidst all the agony,
Was he my friend or enemy?

He whispered evil to me every day & every night,
He defeated me without me even putting up a fight,
I didn’t even try,
I thought I can just ignore him and let him pass by,
Was he my friend or enemy?

This is why I was drowned in sins,
All along he was sitting back and laughing at me,
Then death hit me, now I can see,
But it’s too late,
There’s no going back to change my fate.

As the mountain high,
U move without sigh;
like the white linen flair,
Purity is always an affair;
As sunshine creates morning glory,
fragrance fills years as flory;
with the immaculate eternal smile,
attached to u mile after mile;
All darkness is far away,
As light is on its way;

Responding with ihram at the appointed limit,

Uncovering their heads in total humility

Before One to Whom faces bow in servility.

They exclaim in the valleys, “We have responded to You -

All Praise is Yours, and Kingdom too!”

He invited and they answered, with love and pleasure;

When they called upon Him, nearer came the Divine treasure.

You see them on their mounts, hair dusty and disheveled,

Yet never more content, never happier have they felt;

Leaving homelands and families due to holy yearning,

Unmoved are they by temptations of returning.

Through plains and valleys, from near and far,

Be empty: give your lips to the lips of the reed.

When like a reed you fill with His breath,

then you’ll taste sweetness.

that fills the reed.

Be like Mary, by that sweet breath

the month of Ramadan has arrived.

Cover the table

And open the path of praise.

it’s time to change your ways.

Can you see the one who’s selling the halvah;

how long will it be the halvah you desire?

has made you so sweet even honey says,

“I’ll put myself beneath your feet, like the soil;

Ibn Rajab, May Allah Have Mercy on him, says in Lata’if al-Ma’arif:

In that Satan has been chained up during the month of Ramadan; and the fires of the carnal lusts have died down due to fasting; and the authority of the soul’s vain inclination has been placed in isolation, and power has been turned over to the rule of the intellect, which rules justly; the sinner now has no excuse.

The clouds of heedlessness! Disperse from over the hearts.
The suns of piety and faith! Rise for this new day.
The pages wherein are recorded the deeds of the Fasting people! Elevate yourselves.
The hearts of the fasters! Be filled with humility.
The feet of those exerting themselves strenuously in their devotions! Prostrate to your Lord and bow in humility to Him.
The eyes of those passing the night in prayer! Do not sleep.
The sins of the penitent! Do not return.
The earth of the soul’s vain inclinations! Absorb your water.
The sky of the elevated souls! Hold back your rain.
The lightning of longing for the Divine! Shine for the lovers of God.
The intimate thoughts of the Gnostics! Graze in the pastures of Godly bliss.
The aspirations of all who love other than God! May you find no contentment with your imperfect beloved.
Junayd! Be overjoyed.
Shibli! Come quickly.
Rabi’a! Listen carefully.

During these days the tables of Divine Blessings have been spread out for the fasters, and there is no one who has not been invited to the feast. The Almighty says, “O our folk! Respond to the caller of God.” Al-Ahqaf: 31

O the lofty spiritual aspirations of the believers! Hasten. Paradise is for one who responds promptly and attains the blessings. Woe unto whomsoever is turned away at the door, and misses the invitation.

Take heed oh people of Muhammad!(pbuh)
Rememba dat we’re here to deliver a Message!

Girls, it’s time to stop frettin wit your hair
And boyz it’s time to get up from your lazy chairs!

Time to stop worryin bout where he said she sat
Or who’s turn it was to feed da cat!

Cause Ramadhan is where we at!!

Ramadan! You are never more needed than when we think we’ve had enough,
I long for the passion of my thirst to linger past the hour, your company do we Love.

That I may recall the pleasure of the first sip,
Running sweetly to where the fast once nestled in my throat’s grip.

Lord! You are never more present,
Than in the moment before we succumb to our elements!

In the Creation of the Earth and Heaven,
In the sailing of the ships through the Ocean,

Rain that Allah sends from the Skies,
Here indeed, are all Signs.

O Believers! Do you not see,
What Allah has revealed to thee?

O Believers! Do you not ponder,
Allah’s Mighty and Super Power?

Ramadhan, Ramadhan, ahlan was’sahlan ya Ramadhan,
We welcome your sweet stay and your strong bond,
Month of purity, month of me, month of blessed rhapsody!

The thought of you makes me eager,
As I resist my thirst and my hunger.

For Allah’s Sake I fast Ramadhan,
In every weather, even Harmattan!

It was this blessed month the Qur’an was revealed,
Where Al-Islam was to no longer be concealed.

Where the gates of Mercy are opened,
The gates of hell are locked, the devils chained.

It’s a month that helps us ward off evil,
Removing from our hearts a dark veil.

Where we are taught to reach our peak of generosity,
And not to hesitate to give the needy.

Ramadhan, Ramadhan, ahlan was’sahlan ya Ramadhan,
We welcome your sweet stay and your strong bond,
Month of purity, month of me, month of blessed rhapsody!

You are never more beautiful than when daylight draws your veil,
It is by Allah’s Grace and Mercy that through you the Truth does prevail.

Silence morning in Ramadhan,
I wander amid the Qur’an.

My soul is moved to tears,
The ayyat full of awaken fears.

Our days go without food, but we are full with growing will power,
Our days go without water, but we are quenched with our nafl prayer,

Time is spent without gossip and back-biting, yet that’s just fine with me,
I’d rather do something more exciting, that brings a promise of Eternal glee.

I long for certainty of our nights,
To spread to my day’s hunger strike.

That I may continue my moon-filled vigil,
My lips never cease, in His remembrance they mingle.

Our nights are full of family, rejoicing in Allah’s everlasting Mercy,
Our nights are full of prayer, to Allah our thanks we share.

Evenings spent in brethren remembrance,
In our Ummah, lays therein no concept of distance.

Pre-dawn hours full of Al-Qur’an Al-Kareem,
Our faithful tears flow like a tranquil stream.

Ramadhan, Ramadhan, ahlan was’sahlan ya Ramadhan,
We welcome your sweet stay and your strong bond,
Month of purity, month of me, month of blessed rhapsody!

We unite as one during this blessed month,
No longer worrying about our tummies getting lunch!

But each one filling our souls with the remembrance of our Creator,
He Who Provides us with food, yet we fail to remember.

It’s a time that brings us His Mercy,
Causing us to remember others’ reality.

It is a time that brings us His Forgiveness,
Allowing us to release some stresses.

Remembering of a slave,
Tortured in the grave!

Buried down so so deep,
No comfort and no sleep!

Ramadhan, Ramadhan, ahlan was’sahlan ya Ramadhan,
We welcome your sweet stay and your strong bond,
Month of purity, month of me, month of blessed rhapsody!

It’s a time that frees us from the fire of Hell,
Saving us an Eternity of horror to dwell.

Speaking of the blazing fire,
Removes one’s desire.

The fate of sinful Souls,
Tread on scorching coals.

Ramadhan, Ramadhan, ahlan was’sahlan ya Ramadhan,
We welcome your sweet stay and your strong bond,
Month of purity, month of me, month of blessed rhapsody!

I long that these last minutes turn to days that I may save the pace of time,
That runs with the rosary twisting through my finger’s vine.

Rose! You are never more beautiful than the moment before you surrender to die,
Ramadhan! You are never more precious then in your closing hours that brings tears to the eye.

Love! You are never more treasured than the moment I see you leave my lover’s eyes,
The Source of Force in this World, it is from Allah, the emotions that we desire.

Ramadhan, where have you gone?
I search and I search, but here comes the new dawn.

In my heart you will always rest,
To Allah belongs the result of my Final Test.

A blessed month is casting its shadow upon us
A night of this month is better than a thousand months
Bear with patience for the sake of Ar-Rahman
It’s a continuous training to strengthen our Imaan.

Glory be to Allah who sent Ramadan as a mercy to mankind
Its a purification of our soul, our heart, and our mind
With the most sincere devotion and love we fast
To be cleansed and free from sins of the past

Glorified is He, who choseth this holy month,
To test our sabr and fill our hearts with warmth
Of his Divine Light, His blessings shall glow,
The Seer of the unseen, all He does know

Ya Allah! For thee, let my breath be more pleasant than musk
Ya Allah! For thee, let me be thankful when day turns to dusk
My thoughts and heart are purified, my eyes truly see’
This blessed month, the month of spiritual rhapsody!

So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home),

Ramadan is coming, Increase your Iman(faith).
Ramadan is coming, Recite the Qur’an.
Take “Suhur” in the dead of the Night;
No eating or drinking during the daylight.
Refrain from bad deeds and repent your soul;
The pleasure of Allah is our only goal.

Even if there is hunger, remember your Lord
And wait until ‘Iftar’ to earn your reward.
Fasting is one of the gifts of Allah
Given to believers to increase ‘Taqwah’ (piety).
We pray to Allah to put right our hearts;
Ask for forgiveness from Allah and make a new start.
