For Muslims, Ramadan is not just a month where we just stay hungry all day. It’s a month where we say;
Hey, Don’t lie
Please, don’t curse
I just can’t do anything bad it’s Ramadan
I can’t listen to music
Let’s go for prayers
Let’s recite Quran
Let’s do some charity
So in my post today, I have a question for all Muslims out there
Are you a Muslim for the whole year or a Muslim just for the month of Ramadan? Why you are not following Islam all year? Why you are not doing charity the whole year, why won't you control yourself doing bad deeds all year?
Since we are done with our question let me tell few changes this holy month brought to my life...
Being a student it’s sometimes difficult to catch up with my prayers or I was used to combining the two prayers as Jama Namaz.
But in Ramadan, I tried my best to offer my prayers timely,
without knowing the reason maybe. I am one of those one-month Muslims or it’s because I want to increase my value in the sight of Allah.
Whatever it is I am happy I am trying my best to bring this change and will try to keep it in future too.
Being a foodie is also the main issue in fasting for me as it's kind of impossible for me to stay hungry But along with health benefits it brings me emotional satisfaction too.
A satisfaction, when I realized the pain of those poor kids who walk around all yummy food points but can’t even smell their aroma 🥹
That realization made me to do something for them maybe it’s not big but your one step can bring a small smile to those cute little faces.
So there was a day when I was working in the kitchen with my sister and a glass broke from my hand. My mom came in running and I was like, Mama I didn’t do that and I blamed my sister for it.
And then Mama was like; If you lie your fast will break and you will get bad points instead of good ones.
That was the moment when I realized that I lied all the time
Even if it’s a small lie it’s still a lie; A lie of coming home late just to party with my friends, A lie to keep myself from getting a scolding, A lie of fake fever to take leave from college, And many more... So what did you think?
Is a lie a lie? Or small lies are just forgivable because they aren’t hurting someone.
Ramzan is the month that brings so many changes and also helps us to make a new start. We all somehow relate to these things but some people stay stubborn and don't admit it... This month is for us, for us to get back our status in sight of Allah.
Wish you all the best wishes for the last Ashra of Ramazan, I Hope Allah forgives us all for the deeds we did.
Ramazan Mubarak✨
