Ramadan Mubarak

(A Song for the Entire Family)

By Samantha Sanchez

Counting down the days to Eid
So I pray and fast and read
I go to the mosque and listen to Qur’an
All through the month of Ramadan

Ramadan’s a blessed month
We give thanks and offer praise
We share with others and give sadaqa
For 29 or 30 days

Counting down the days to Eid
So I pray and fast and read
I go to the mosque and listen to Qur’an
All through the month of Ramadan

We wait for the crescent moon in the sky
To tell us when its time to fast
Then we wait again for the moon to come
To tell us which day is last

Counting down the days to Eid
So I pray and fast and read
I go to the mosque and listen to Qur’an
All through the month of Ramadan


When the last day is here
All the children shout with glee
We dress up nice and go to the prayer
Then after we get our eidie

Oh the days of Ramadan!
How I wish they were not gone
I can’t wait for next year
To say that Ramadan is here!
