The crescent has been sighted! Ramadan Mubarakh! Over miles and miles and miles of telephone lines  The masjid schedule consulted, and alarm clock set.For the meal before first light  Work the next day, same tempo, same schedule.The boss and co-workers say; "Oh, you're fasting?" "Why?"Unable to comprehend the beauty of a simple ritual: "Come, we're going to see a movie after work; we wont make you eat"(!)   Going home, 1/2 hour before sunsetfrom the 9-5 routine, never ending, never changing  Arriving home, break fast with some friendsmeal cooked the night before.  Remembrance of Ramadan in Karachi, Casablanca, Lahore, Cairo and Dhaka   Tears, and anger expressed today: Murder and slaughter on this day! Killed in prostration! Where Abraham (peace be upon him) lies! Martyrdom in a Holy month! On Holy land!  And hope expressed: Our faith desecrated, but, fastest growing in America!A simple prayer; perhaps one day we will fast in San Francisco,as we fasted in Dhaka, Cairo, Lahore, Casablanca and Karachi  And the fast is brokenand later friends and familymill around, some contentothers tired, angry, grievedand all somberon this day of Ramadan...Peace    The Ummah's Voice - In Ramadhan we rejoice, by Asma-ul-Husna, Shireen, Trustworth, Found the Words, and Holla  Ramadhan, Ramadhan, ahlan was'sahlan ya Ramadhan, We welcome your sweet stay and your strong bond, Month of purity, month of me, month of blessed rhapsody!   Take heed oh people of Muhammad!(pbuh) Rememba dat we're here to deliver a Message!   Girls, it's time to stop frettin wit your hair And boyz it's time to get up from your lazy chairs!   Time to stop worryin bout where he said she sat Or who's turn it was to feed da cat!  Cause Ramadhan is where we at!!  Ramadan! You are never more needed than when we think we've had enough, I long for the passion of my thirst to linger past the hour, your company do  we Love.   That I may recall the pleasure of the first sip, Running sweetly to where the fast once nestled in my throat's grip.   Lord!  You are never more present, Than in the moment before we succumb to our elements!   In the Creation of the Earth and Heaven, In the sailing of the ships through the Ocean,   Rain that Allah sends from the Skies, Here indeed, are all Signs.   O Believers! Do you not see, What Allah has revealed to thee?   O Believers!  Do you not ponder, Allah's Mighty and Super Power?   Ramadhan, Ramadhan, ahlan was'sahlan ya Ramadhan, We welcome your sweet stay and your strong bond, Month of purity, month of me, month of blessed rhapsody!   The thought of you makes me eager, As I resist my thirst and my hunger.   For Allah's Sake I fast Ramadhan, In every weather, even Harmattan!   It was this blessed month the Qur'an was revealed, Where Al-Islam was to no longer be concealed.   Where the gates of Mercy are opened, The gates of hell are locked, the devils chained.   It's a month that helps us ward off evil, Removing from our hearts a dark veil.   Where we are taught to reach our peak of generosity, And not to hesitate to give the needy.   Ramadhan, Ramadhan, ahlan was'sahlan ya Ramadhan, We welcome your sweet stay and your strong bond, Month of purity, month of me, month of blessed rhapsody!   You are never more beautiful than when daylight draws your veil, It is by Allah's Grace and Mercy that through you the Truth does prevail.   Silence morning in Ramadhan, I wander amid the Qur'an.   My soul is moved to tears, The ayyat full of awaken fears.   Our days go without food, but we are full with growing will power, Our days go without water, but we are quenched with our nafl prayer,   Time is spent without gossip and back-biting, yet that's just fine with me, I'd rather do something more exciting, that brings a promise of Eternal  glee.   I long for certainty of our nights, To spread to my day's hunger strike.   That I may continue my moon-filled vigil, My lips never cease, in His remembrance they mingle.   Our nights are full of family, rejoicing in Allah's everlasting Mercy, Our nights are full of prayer, to Allah our thanks we share.   Evenings spent in brethren remembrance, In our Ummah, lays therein no concept of distance.   Pre-dawn hours full of Al-Qur'an Al-Kareem, Our faithful tears flow like a tranquil stream.   Ramadhan, Ramadhan, ahlan was'sahlan ya Ramadhan, We welcome your sweet stay and your strong bond, Month of purity, month of me, month of blessed rhapsody!   We unite as one during this blessed month, No longer worrying about our tummies getting lunch!   But each one filling our souls with the remembrance of our Creator, He Who Provides us with food, yet we fail to remember.   It's a time that brings us His Mercy, Causing us to remember others' reality.   It is a time that brings us His Forgiveness, Allowing us to release some stresses.   Remembering of a slave, Tortured in the grave!   Buried down so so deep, No comfort and no sleep!   Ramadhan, Ramadhan, ahlan was'sahlan ya Ramadhan, We welcome your sweet stay and your strong bond, Month of purity, month of me, month of blessed rhapsody!   It's a time that frees us from the fire of Hell, Saving us an Eternity of horror to dwell.   Speaking of the blazing fire, Removes one's desire.   The fate of sinful Souls, Tread on scorching coals.   Ramadhan, Ramadhan, ahlan was'sahlan ya Ramadhan, We welcome your sweet stay and your strong bond, Month of purity, month of me, month of blessed rhapsody!   I long that these last minutes turn to days that I may save the pace of  time, That runs with the rosary twisting through my finger's vine.   Rose! You are never more beautiful than the moment before you surrender to  die, Ramadhan! You are never more precious then in your closing hours that brings  tears to the eye.   Love! You are never more treasured than the moment I see you leave my  lover's eyes, The Source of Force in this World, it is from Allah, the emotions that we  desire.   Ramadhan, where have you gone? I search and I search, but here comes the new dawn.   In my heart you will always rest, To Allah belongs the result of my Final Test.   Ramadhan, Ramadhan, ahlan was'sahlan ya Ramadhan, We welcome your sweet stay and your strong bond, Month of purity, month of me, month of blessed rhapsody! </blockquote>
