The blessed month of Ramadan is here
Bringing its blessing upon us
This is the month to purify our hearts and soul
So with devotion, we keep our fast

It’s for us to strengthen our faith
This is the most important month of all
Many will heed and hear the call
And some of us will go astray and fall

No one was born perfect
But we are given the right to choose
Sometimes you try your best for years
And in one moment of weakness, you lose

And you go down a brightened road
That glitters as if it’s paved with gold
And you are guilty of following the light
Knowing in the end we will lose out soul

But no one is immune from stumbling
And pointing a finger will be to mean
We all will sin many times in our lives
For we all are just human beings

And the one and only God is merciful
Ramadan is a gift of mercy to mankind
To cleanse ourselves of past wrongs
In this month what we seek we will find

The holy month of Ramadan
Is not just only for Muslims
For God didn’t create religions
He created people to follow him

My father was the perfect Muslim
One of the best men to walk this world
He said that "God doesn’t judge you for your religion
It’s for what’s in your heart and soul

My father would be very sick
But he would never miss a day of fasting
Or miss a night going to the mosque
No matter how hard outside is raining

Every day I think of my father
Especially in the holy month of Ramadan
He sets the perfect example
That we follow the best that we can

Lately, I’ve stumbled and fallen down
So I sit in a dark corner writing my poem
And I keep saying my prayers in silence
Hoping one day God will answer them

For those who can walk the straight line
May Allah bless you in this month of Ramadan
But don’t look down on the ones who can’t
Say bismillah and give them a hand

Ramadan is the holy month
That God reveals the noble Quran
The meaning of Islam is peace
To end this poem I say “salaam
