In it, the Qur’an was revealed,
Islam was taught
And the Final Messenger crowned.
In it, the angels abound
In vast numbers
Upon the doers of Good
And seek blessings multifold.
In it, the light of Allah
Shines forth
Perceivable by the human eye,
If sought.
In it, each virtue
Carries reward 70 fold,
A great enticement towards good.
In it, the gates of Hell
Are thrust together
Whilst the doors of Paradise
Continue to invite.
In it, whoever passes from this world
Will bear no punishment
Till the Final Day.
In it, Allah’s throne
Descends to the lowest heaven
Searching for needy supplicants.
In it, Mercy, Forgiveness and
Protection from Hellfire
Are guaranteed
To those who seek with sincerity.
In it, the sworn enemy of humanity
And all his associates
Are chained in and constrained
To the Fire of Hell.
In it, Allah’s Mercy overcomes His Anger, and in all directions,
His softness disperses.
In it, the awesome Night of Power
Enshrouds seekers in
Majestic mists of Light
With promises of Hope and Divine Acceptance.
In it, exuberance is replaced by sorrow of this
Blessed month passing once more.
