Dear Allah
Accept our ibadah
We receive grace to remain pious
In this month of Ramadan
Roll away the plagues
And let our Iman speak

Dear Allah
The beneficent, the merciful
Open the eyes of our soul
To see the "Why" of the season
Teach us to be grateful always
Even in the face of a pandemic

Dear Allah
Hold us aloft in Your hands
Lest we fall and crash
With this pandemic
You built your holy temples;
In our human heart beyond walls
And amplified the need for family

Though we strayed from you
But the sight of the moon gave us hope
That our prayers are answered
If you could hang it in the skies
Without droplets or pillars
Is there anything too hard for YOU?

Dear Allah
The Creator of the Universe
Of all the elements you created
We have been most ungrateful
Even in our unfauthfullness
Accept my prayers and forgive our sins
Please roll over this one too
That we live in peace and harmony

We join our brothers and sisters alike
Worshipping you in holy temples
In different cities, faith and culture
To say chain the jinns of Corrona
That they refrain from their torments
By our fast we have obtained "Taqwa"
And we know YOU answer prayers

All outer deeds are solely ours
But Rammadan is for YOU
And YOU romised rewards to faithfuls
We ask not for riches nor gold
Silver, diamond nor precious ornaments
All that we can ever ask now
By virtue of the month of Ramadan
Please take us back to yesterday...
Happy Ed el Fitri.
