Muslim mommy reads Ramadan Moon by NAA Robert Ramadan the month of fasting doesn't begin all at once it begins with whisper and prayer and wish as the month of Ramadan approaches we search the sky for sign waiting anticipating that silver liver of brightness The Shining white cresant that is the Ramadan Moon and when the new moon is seen what wonderful excitement the news spreads like wildfire through cities towns and Villages across deserts and grassland into each and every home and Muslims of every nation of every age and every Hue will join the celebration of the arrival of the moon it's here Ramadan is here the month of Mercy has begun and in mosque after Mosque of every shape and size men women and children will all stand up to pray the Imam will recite the verses of the book that was revealed hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of years ago so now we all wake up to eat in the dark Before Dawn sleepy mouthfuls for the day ahead while the silent City sleeps then dad's clear Voice rings out calling all of us to pray our family bows like one body before the break of day in daylight we feel hungry but at Sunset when we eat it makes us little thoughtful little humble and very great and each night the moon grows Fuller like ripe and tender fruit shining on houses filled with laughter and mosques alive with prayer each night they come unfailing this seething congregation to reflect on the words of their lord in silent celebration during the day we keep busy with all sorts of Good Deeds our voices flow with the word words of God in unplanned harmonies we look for things to give away collect money for charity be kind and caring and polite try hard not to get angry now the Ramadan moon is round and full bright silver Medallion but with special secret sorrow we see that half the month is gone we watch her as she waines losing sliver every night until we reach the last 10 days those last days tinged with sadness when we try to share more pray more do more and give more and we look for the night of power better than thousand nights that extra special night when we ask for all that we desire wishes upon wishes and prayer upon prayer but then the last 10 days become the last five the last four nights become the last three the last two the last and when the new cresant moon is seen and the Eid day is announced the Muslim World rejoices for our Festival has begun for Eid there will be haircuts and pretty henna patterns and visitors and brand new clothes that rustle as we walk and in the morning there will be the Eid prayer charity for the poor family and friends parties and outings sweets and treats and more but all that is tomorrow tonight the city sleeps as look out at the night sky my smile is Bittersweet goodbye great month of Mercy hope to see you soon please hurry back my silver friend my beautiful Ramadan Moon the end Muslim mommy reads like share and subscribe
