When we've scanned the sky and we've sighted the Moon
And we welcome the month of ramadan
When we'll fast together for allah
To help and strengthen our iman (faith)
Oh it was so very long ago
In the holy month of ramadan
Allah sent his message to the world
The holy book of qur'an
A light to shine for all mankind
A guide to teach us right from wrong
First revealed on the night of power
With peace until the rising of the dawn
When we've scanned the sky and we've sighted the Moon
And we welcome the month of ramadan
When we'll fast together for allah
To help and strengthen our iman
As the Sun lay sleeping, beneath the blankets of the night
We rise early to make suhur, before the white thread of light
We're patient and kind, remembering allah
All throughout our day
And when the Sun has gone and we've made ifthar
We gather together and pray
When we've scanned the sky and we've sighted the Moon
And we welcome the month of ramadan
When we'll fast together for allah
To help and strengthen our iman
So many of our brothers and sisters, all across the land
They have no food to eat at all, and they need a helping hand
When we fast from morning 'till the night, to fulfill allah's command
We feel the hunger and thirst they feel, and it helps us to understand
Oh all too fast, the Moon goes past
Our month of blessings now has gone
But we'll keep its spirit throughout the year
Every day should be like ramadan
So we've scanned the sky and we've sighted the Moon
And we say farewell to ramadan
When we fast together for allah
To help and strengthen our iman
So many of our brothers and sisters, all across the land
They have no food to eat at all, and they need a helping hand
When we fast from morning 'till the night, to fulfill allah's command
We feel the hunger and thirst they feel, and it helps us to understand
