Ramadan Reminders: Poetry Edition! Day 6

   Challenge

Family that is near

Family that is far

All connected

The recipients of

Mercy and tranquility

Tick-tock

Time is nearing by

Soon, it will come to an end

And the challengers of nafs

Trumpets forward

Heralded against

The kindle of iman

Boosted through Ramadan

Testament of endurance 

To survive, to liveFor another lunar year

Ramadan Reminders: Poetry Edition! Day 2

 Moonwars 

With the onset of Ramadan  

  We welcomed, yet again        

 Through the never-ending-debate-of           

   Global vs. locality                

Science vs. tradition 

Driven by a vocal minority    

   Their rhetoric fully laced        

      To overcome the other team       

          And to win you over

 Community 

    Now overran by these ambient voices    

     Leaving behind           

  A separated neighbors
