Poem - The Night of Power (Lai-latul Qadr)

Poem by Sarosh Mohna Zaidi of Mississauga, Ontario

The moon of nights shines with a brilliant light

As every living being bows to prostrate.

The eyes awaiting for that dazzling sight

In night of power for rewards so great.

The worship in this night hold more value

Than worship done in eighty-three long years.

The angels pray and search the whole night through

Awaiting for the true believer's tears.

For those who pray to Allah in this night

The angels send them peace.  And One who prays

To seek forgiveness in a teary sight,

For him all his sins Allah would erase.

So in The Night of Power let us pray

To earn the paradise where we can stay.
