Put Your Heart In Action

Ramadan

Is like a rare flower

That blossoms once a year

And just as you begin to smell its fragrance

It disappears for another year

Make the most of it now

While you still have the chance

For the harvesting season is here

And it won’t last

The last 10 days

Have approached so fast

And as the days wizz past

How do our deeds fare

Put your heart in action

And your limbs in gear

Multiply your deeds

So your rewards be dear

- Anonymous

A Time of Great Blessing

Ramadhan is here, Here is Ramadhan.

Ramadhan is coming, The time that is blessed.

Ramadhan is coming, The time we love best.

The month in which the Qur'an was sent;

A time of great blessing in which to repent.

Fasting for Allah is a great Muslim deed;

Controlling desires and Suppressing greed.

- Zeeshan G.

Every Moment A New Song Rises

"There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . ."

– Rumi
