Bismillah,
So..
Alhamdulilah, I got to see another Ramadhan this year. What an amazing journey and experience it has been for myself personally and for all those around me.
I still remember the feeling of happiness and joy when I find out the news that the moon has been sighted and Ramadhan is the next day. I feel overwhelmed with excitement, that my honored guest has arrived! How I have been waiting for months for this beautiful guest to pay me another visit, all praise is due to Allah!
In fact, I feel so great to know that month has arrived where the atmosphere around will also be one of peace and tranquility.
You know what I love deeply about this month? They are the small things sometimes that bring tears of happiness in my eyes!!
Don't you so feel such a tingling feeling of happiness inside when you see your Muslims brothers and sisters, out in there masjid garments even after midnight, all coming back from worshipping there Lord?
And the amazing times you have with your loved ones at suhoor time, when even the little ones come join you?
What about those times when your house is filled with the mesmerising and most beautiful words of Allah, recited by Makkah taraaweeh by Sheikh Sudais and Maher?
Even them busy wizzy moments after iftar when your rushing around getting ready to go for taraaweeh prayer?
How about that overwhelming feeling when the sheikh reciting in taraaweeh comes to an ayah where he includes the word "Jannah" and in your mind your like "OMG! I know what that meaaaaaans!""
And to add the cherry on the cake, the witr dua, when 10 odd people (estimate amount at your masjid, or let's say 4/5 million people in Makkah!) pour there hearts our as they invoke there lord together, not bothered what the people next to them think?! And the absolutely beautiful thing, is to acknowledge the fact that Allahs listening to each one of there prayers, subhan'Allah!
This is the month of mercy, which has passed, how it saddens me. How much I will miss it. Yet we need to remember were not only Ramadhan Muslims. Allah, Islam, Quran, Qiyaam are there out of Ramadhan too, so hold onto your deen tightly, and increase your good deeds for Allah out of Ramadhan too.
May Allah (swt) allow us to live to see many more ramadhans, to accept our actions and repentance that we did this Ramadhan, and to keep us steadfast after Ramadhan, Aameen
"O controller of the hearts, keep our hearts firm on your religion" Aameen
Taqabal minna Wa Minkum, wa salihul a'mal.
Until next time,
Wassalamu Alaykum,
Your dear uktis.
