In Quarantine most of us say
"Oh Lord it feels like the exact same day!"
Isolation hurts is in a very weird way,
And it feels like it has been a decade instead of just May!
To Allah we all pray
"Oh Allah please help us take this Corona virus away".
So all of the kids can get active and play
just instead being lazy on the couch all day!
Popo Asma has taught us in a very good way!
"Oh Allah please let me stay in this wonderful world that you have created in the most perfect way even
if it is just minutes, seconds or a full day!
Ameen Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barracatuhu!
Rifat Aktar
Daure Quran 2020
Ramadan came with a blessing sublime
A time to connect with the Divine
The Kitaab of Allah with you we opened
To unlock our hearts and keep them stationed
The Quran Majeed a mirror true
To show a reflection of me and you
We learned so much about passed days
And those still to come our way
You led us through a journey new
And held our hearts through the view
May you be blessed with much good
In this life and the one to come
And on that Day may you be in shade
For the inspiring sacrifice that you made
Asfa Inayatullah
Ramadan is here, come surround us!
This time it is different because of this virus.
Think of the positives and not the negatives.
Can't go to the mosque but still be active.
​
Be thankful for the blessings He gave.
Only good deeds you will take to your grave.
Calling our loved ones more than usual.
Lets do it more often and not be so casual.
​
Let this month not pass without me feeling closer to YOU.
Withour YOU this life I cannot get through.
So come let us rejoice, be happy and smile.
Make it all count, it will definietely be worthwhile.
​
Inshallah.

It was the year 2020
When time I had plenty,
No mosque, no outings no meeting family
I asked myself, "how will I spend this very unique ramadhan?"
How will I listen to the words of the Quran?
Zoom zoom is all I began to hear
I heard a whisper, "you wanted to hear my kalaam my dear?"
Then everything became clear
We started on this journey of the holy Quran
With warnings, pearls of wisdom and good news for insaan

FA BI AYYI ALA E RABBIKUMA TUKAZZIBAN
He chose a dear friend to do this task
May ALLAH reward you in abundance, I do ask
And for everyone who works for the Deen
You will be greatly rewarded from THE MIGHTY, THE UNSEEN
Everyday of Ramadhan at 2, you see
Was when ALLAH spoke to me
Have faith and pray to ME said HE
Spend, spend in MY WAY and you will see
I will Reward you Abundantly
With Eternal Gardens under which Rivers Flow
That is indeed the place I want to go
The reward of the Muttaqin ALLAH has shown
And the abode of zalimeen, where they will be thrown
Let us sincerely pray that on that Day
We are not among those who will say
Woe unto me , I wish I had remembered today
Oh ALLAH I fear Your rejection
On the Day of Resurrection
So I beg of You, for Your Protection
The ultimate choice is yours and mines
Where in life do we draw the lines
In Allah’s limits we have to stay
That is surely the best way
Remember the things the Prophet (pbuh) did and say
Day and night did he pray
Following him we cannot go astray
Life is short and full of tests
In this world we are but guests
In the end i would like to say
The words my friend said everyday
Do not despair of the mercy of Allah
And hold onto Allah’s rope, come what may
Lets all promise to follow our Deen
So we can be counted with the Saliheen
Ameen Ameen Summa Ameen
