A short peom about Ramazaan
Administrator on September 10th, 2008
Following is a short poem about the blessed month of Ramadan by sister Rahila Jabeen from her upcoming collection of short poems book. We pray to Allah Almighty that He accepts her humble efforts and gives her the tawfeeq and enables her to spread the message of Islam in poems and prose. Aameen:
I am a Muslim sister from the local community and would like to share with you some thoughts about the blessed month of Ramadan. Enjoy the poem but I hope you also seriously reflect on its contents.
For all my fellow muslims out there,
Ramzaan mubarak is the message I bear.
Allah has given us another opportunity to fast,
To beg for forgiveness for sins of the past.
As we all know very well,
Closed firmly now are the doors of hell.
But heavens doors are open wide,
Herein will all the believers abide.
So enjoin the good and forbid the evil,
Don not worry about the devil.
He has been restrained but we can not see,
While ramzaan lasts he will not be free.
Perhaps you could utilise this time to analyze and reflect,
How do you treat your elders? Do you give them enough respect?
Do you have any bad habits which you could correct?
Or will you be debating Pakistani politics and who they will elect.
We commit major sins without thinking anymore,
Backbiting about our fellow muslims and what they wore.
Guard that which is between your jaws and that which is between your legs also.
Heaven will be your abode, it will be the place you will go
Ramzaan is the month full of barakah,
Full of blessings, full of rehmah.
Fast, read quran, durood and your prayers,
In the blessings for you will be shares.
When comes ifthari share your food,
Be polite and don`t be rude.
It is sunnah to break your fast with a date,
But do remember the poor who will have nothing on their plate.
Remember to make dua for all women and men
That we live to see this month again.
