Original Poem: Ramadan Moon
written by Isahah Janette Grant
O Ramadan Moon
perched upon a midnight sky
shine your light upon me
bear witness as I recite Quran this night
O Ramadan Moon
shimmering majestically as you obey Allah's command
mark our days of fasting upon the heavens
keep watch as we pursue Laylat al Qadir
O Ramadan Moon
receding as the sun embarks upon its morning journey
make haste in your return to us tomorrow
illuminate our paths as we strive this Ramadan
