We dust off the Quran, <br />Bring out the prayer mats, <br />Fit praying in our schedules, <br />Thank Allah, <br />Dwell our souls in his dhikr…. <br />Send our blessings on the prophets and companions, <br />We proclaim and live Ashadu Anna Laa ilaha illa Allah wa ashadu anna Muhammdan rasulo Allah. <br />We pray five times a day, <br />Sisters dress modestly, <br />Brothers revive the sunnah of growing their beard, <br />We lower our gaze, <br />We relive our actions of last Ramadan, <br />We live as muslims merely this month, <br />We practice hypocrisy at its worst, <br />We say Islam is our deen 24/7, <br />Yet our actions make us Ramadan Muslims. <br /> <br />Halima Ali Ahmed <br />Copyright ©2009<br /><br />Halima Ahmed<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ramadan-muslims/
