Sha is for shams, the shining sun, which Allah placed for everyone;
and Sua is for salat, for when we pray facing him, everyday, facing him, till we meet our
lord;
Allah there’s only one God and Muhammed is his Messenger. Allah, La ilaha illa’allah;
Dua is for duha, the morning light, the sun has turned from red to white;
Tua is for tareeq, the path to walk upon;
and Dhua is for dhil, a shadow;
and Aa is for ilm, the thing to know, to make our knowledge grow, in Islam;
Gha is for ghaib, a world unseen and that we know is not a dream;
Fa is for, the Opening, Al-Fatiha;
and Qua for the Qur’an, the book of God;
and Ka is for kalima, a word we’re taught to teach us what is good and what is not;
and La is for the beginning of La ilaha illa’allah;
Ma is for the Messenger Muhammed-ur-Rasoolillah. La ilaha illa’allah, Muhammed-ur-
