WELCOMING THE MONTH OF RAMADĀN

The poet says:

يَابَاغَيَ الخَيْرِ هَذَا شَهْرُ مَكْرُمَةٍ

O seeker of goodness, this is a month of honour

أقْبِلْ بِصِدْقٍ جَزَاكَ اللهُ إحْسَانَا

Approach with sincerity, may ALLĀH reward you with goodness

أقْبِلْ بجُودٍ وَلاَ تَبْخَلْ بِنَافِلةٍ

Approach with generosity and do not withhold extra deeds

واجْعَلْ جَبِينَكَ بِالسَّجْدَاتِ عِنْوَانَا

And make your forehead a sign of prostration

أعْطِ الفَرَائضَ قدْراً لا تضُرَّ بِهَا

Perform obligatory acts as much as you will not be harmed by them

واصْدَعْ بِخَيْرٍ ورتِّلْ فِيهِ قُرْآنَا

Be generous and recite the Qur’an therein

واحْفَظْ لِسَاناً إذَا مَا قُلتَ عَنْ لَغَطٍ

Guard your tongue when you speak amid chatter

لاَ تجْرَحِ الصَّوْمَ بالألْفَاظِ نِسْيَانَا

Do not break your fast with words forgetfully

 وصَدِّقِ المَالَ وابذُلْ بَعْضَ أعْطِيَةٍ

Be truthful in seeking wealth and give some of what you have been given

لنْ ينْقُصَ المَالَ لَوْ أنْفقتَ إحْسَانَا

Your wealth will not decrease if you spend it in goodness.

We ask ALLĀH to help us to observe HIS commands during this blessed month and beyond. Aamīn.
