As inevitable as it is, here we are at the end of the holy month of Ramadan. It seems like only yesterday we welcomed Ramadan and had our bodies prepared for fasting and praying and reciting of the holy Quran. My how time flies… A yearly practice I make is I ask myself whether I really dedicated the month of Ramadan to my faith? Did we strive to be better believers? Better Muslims? Ramadan is not just about abstaining from food from sunrise to sunset, it’s also about abstaining from unhealthy habits, from our procrastination, from our self sabotage, from gossip, from deception in every from. Ramadan is a chance for purification of the soul and supplication to God. A true promise from God to grant redemption to all sins. So did we seize this lifetime opportunity? Did we do better and do we have the discipline to continue doing better after the month ends? Ramadan for me is like a new update of our souls, a restart to our systems a refresher of our very essence. My intention is to continue this dedication that I dedicated to my faith in Ramadan, to continue with the practices of my faith, to continue being a better version of myself through faith and action. Wishing you all a pleasant end to this holy month and wishing you an early Eid Mubarak. It always saddens me a bit saying farewell to this sacred month, the month where you see Islam everywhere, in people and in situations and in life, however this time I will take Ramadan with me in my heart and in my actions. I pray that God gives us another chance to experience Ramadan again for many years to come. May we all receive absolution from our sins and purification to our souls.
