Ramadhan Ramblings

Hello and Salaam  Ramadhan Mubaarak all!

My first ever entry (quite an exciting moment for me).

So,another Ramadhan has come by all so quickly and the days are really flying by!Already a third of Ramadhan has passed-and all too soon it will be over-leaving us slightly dejected on Eid; debating how fast it came and went.Nothing can beat the Ramadhan feeling- no matter who you are or where you come from-every person gets touched by Ramadhan.

Recently i have had a few deaths in the family,which have been a real eye opener- "who knows if you'll be around for next  Ramadhan?"-has taken on a whole new meaning.

This Ramadhan let's not only get "touched" by Ramadhan- but really and truly make the most of it.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Hasten to do good deeds before you are overtaken by one of the seven afflictions.'' Then (giving a warning) he said, "Are you waiting for such poverty which will make you unmindful of devotion; or prosperity which will make you corrupt, or disease as will disable you, or such senility as will make you mentally unstable, or sudden death, or Ad-Dajjal who is the worst expected absent, or the Hour, and the Hour will be most grievous and most bitter".[At-Tirmidhi].

This year i want to count my blessings-thank Allah and pray he helps us all to make the most of this Ramadhan.

Let us also remember to make dua for the 3 men who were killed in the riots. I cannot imagine how difficult a time it is for the families of those involved.Allah give them Jannah tul Firdous and give their families patience.Ameen
