Come forward Ramadan I await your arrival The hearts are ill And they need to be cured
Come and spread your joy Of double rewards As heavens doors open And prayers are answered
Show me all I have to be thankful for And help me think of the needy Those who go without food or water for days And yet still how my Lord provides
Come and show me When Satan is locked away Am I being tempted Or are these sins force of habit
Ramadan come And remind us of our purpose Surround us with a humble atmosphere Where brothers and sisters unite
Dawn till dusk I will not simply starve But be on my best behaviour No foul language or thinking the worst of someone
I will join the congregation At each and every prayer Speak kindly And spend more time with my family
In the month of God's mercy I will try my best to please Become a better person And carry through these deeds
Ramadan: An entire month of fasting, without any food or water from dawn till dusk. The aim is not to simply starve yourself but to think of those more needy than you. Humble yourself, correct wrongs and become closer to God. The best way I can describe it is that it's like a therapeutic spiritual detox :)
