#1 Translation of said prayer (which rhymes much better in the original):

Let's pray that this flight won't be bumpy,
That foreheads up front aren't too lumpy,
Or cabin crew frumpy
Or baggage guys grumpy
Or all you poor pilgrims too jumpy!

#5 a majority of sharia commentators consider all music other than the chanting of the Koran to be prohibited based on

Al Hadis, Book 2, Chapter 12, No. 283 ... 'None raised up his voice with a song but Allah sent him two devils upon his shoulders who beat his chest with their heels till he stopped.' Attested by Tirmizi.

however, a number of modern commentators say that this only refers to the music of the idol worshipers of the 7th century

#6 Moon Goddess under the camel sky,
by White Man's magic thru the air we fly.
We'll certainly land. Won't that be grand!
Maybe intact, not spread over the sand.
