A HOLY MONTH HAS COME

The new moon,

Has now been sighted,

Heralding a holy month*.

May Allah,

Bless me with His mercy,

And also bless my loved ones.

Hope renews,

Itself in my heart,

And I pray to my Lord God:

"Forgive me,

And all my loved ones,

And please shower Your favours;

On all those,

Who believe in You,

O Good Lord God of all worlds.

Without it,

We cannot move on,

So please rain Your blessings.

Only You,

And no one but You,

Can save us O my Allah.

Let this month,

End the trials I face,

And make me bathe in Your Grace.

O my God,

My Allah Almighty,

In You have I put my trust.

And thus I,

Have entrusted myself,

And all my matters to You.

And I thank

You, wholeheartedly,

For all You have blessed me with."
