The night that is better than a thousand months The night that can save you from Allah’s wrath The angels will descend by the will of your lord And there’s peace and tranquillity till the appearance of dawn This I believe is the greatest virtue of Ramadan This night is just one night It occurs during the least ten nights Do perform good acts so you don't let it out of sight During these last nights, you can decide to give charity Even as low as twenty or as high as fifty Just give to gain Allah’s mercy Y
