Rituals bring a people closer together
As habits they build solidarity
Exalted falsely as a means of salvation
They carry burdens and relieve them also
When something is done regularly for God
It only matters when done with heart
One who is genuine towards God pleases Him
But one who obeys reluctantly should pray
The repentant wash before prayer
But the water does not save
The modest cover their heads
But the clothing does not save
Your Creator does not require these rituals
He desires the virtues in their hearts
So let your faith nurture itself within you
Ask Your Father to lead you unto the honorable
Indeed, if you are blessed with knowledge
You will be mindful of the times
Honor the people who rest routinely
Every Sunday on the Sabbath Day
The people do not work for the sake of God
Unless someone is in need of help
And honor those who watch the Moon
In Ramadan is one month of fasting
Except in the early mornings
And in the late evenings
Our Father has set out His vision
In the Age to Come with peace on Earth
All the people will obey the One True God
And believe in the one Messiah, Jesus Christ
Worship and Love your Creator!
He gives Strength to the Weak!
