Assalamu Alaikum!
[It’s been a long long time I haven’t blogged anything yet. But inshaAllah, I am back! 🙂 I was in Konya, Turkey for this year’s Rihla (which I will share my exp. in the upcoming blog post inshaAllah!) and now just ended Ramadhan.]
Yesterday was our last day of Ramadhan. Our Imam at our local masjid recited the following in the first rakaa of maghrib prayer:
“Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may attain piety and righteousness.” -[2:183]
In the second rakaa, he recited Suratul-Qadr [97].
Ramadhan was summarized, and time wise, it was like those 2 rakaa. A month gone by just like that. We ended Ramadhan with those beautiful verses, verses that made our hearts yearn for the next blessed month to pass by again. Mixed feelings, mixed emotions. But in the end where to?
Let your moments of silence, your moments of khidma, your moments of Quran, your moments of Qiyam, and your moments of hopeful tears lead you to a stable life as a better Muslim.
So I leave you with a smile and many duas 🙂 EID MUBARAK to you and your family! May Allah accept it from you and I! Taqaballahu minna wa minkum. Ameen. And until you hit training grounds again in Ramadhan, know that life is not easy. Learn and grow.
Your brother,
