Ramadan Muslims Poem by Halima Ahmed

We dust off the Quran,
Bring out the prayer mats,
Fit praying in our schedules,
Thank Allah,
Dwell our souls in his dhikr….
Send our blessings on the prophets and companions,
We proclaim and live Ashadu Anna Laa ilaha illa Allah wa ashadu anna Muhammdan rasulo Allah.
We pray five times a day,
Sisters dress modestly,
Brothers revive the sunnah of growing their beard,
We lower our gaze,
We relive our actions of last Ramadan,
We live as muslims merely this month,
We practice hypocrisy at its worst,
We say Islam is our deen 24/7,
Yet our actions make us Ramadan Muslims.
