We All Must Fast In Ramadan




We all must fast in Ramadan
Which is one of the five Arkan
It is a blessed month you know
We fast for Allah, not for show

It is designed to make us think
As we refrain from food and drink
We feel the hunger and the pain
And much there is for us to gain

From dusk till dawn we fast
Hoping that our sawm can last
While we try to do much good
Building Taqwa like we should

Special prayers we say at night
And to turn to Allah in our plight
To forgive and guide us as we try
While ourselves we purify

And remember it was in Ramadhan
When Allah revealed the Holy Qur'an
And so began the Prophet's call
A guide and mercy to us all

And the night of Qadr is unique
Its blessings all believers seek
Then will follow the day of Eid
A truly festive day indeed

Fasting teaches discipline too
And self-control for me and you
As year by year we train to be
Better Muslims, by Allah's decree.
