Ramadan is only days away, I am so happy like a little child and of course I got the fanous 😀
I started to feel the bless, peace and spirituality of the holly month already, I can smell its scent and see the light it shines through the hearts and deeds of those who have started to prepare food items bags for the poor, and setting the tables in the streets for Iftar.
Ramadan beautiful sceneries:
A friend of mine went yesterday with some other friends to buy the food items for Ramadan bags, the first surprise was when they got a very good discount since the purpose was to help the poor. When they went to the parking lot to do the sorting and packing an old man they didn’t know came out of nowhere urged and begged them to take money from him and buy more items.
Another thing I love is praying Keyam at the mosque, from the moment you enter and before the prayers get started, you get to see people getting in smiling and greeting each other as if they know them. Little girls helping the elder ladies in carrying their chairs and helping them. And others offering water and juice packs during the break.
The flood of tears while praying and reciting Quran and the amazing serenity after it.
The modesty and compassion that governs how people dress and act.
At fast breaking times where people are staying in the streets with water and dates to give to those who are late from their homes.
People competing for more thawab (reward), willing to become better and thinking of the new year’s resolutions.
Neighbors sharing food, recipes and tips with each other.
Family gatherings and staying up late till Sohoor.
I am so excited and I am thinking about what activities I am going to participate in, there are a lot of thing in a limited time, .. the food bank, Resala, Ramadan bags preparations and distribution (probably next Saturday isA).
اللهم بلغنا رمضان، اللهم بلغنا رمضان، اللهم بلغنا رمضان
اللهم طهر أقوالنا من النفاق و أعمالنا من الرياء
اللهم إنك عفو كريم تحب العفو فأعف عنا
