Did you boost your spirituality?

Ok I agree am not gud @ this blog business so if u ave been checkin ma blog 4 updates am sorry 4 being off the radar for so long. Hope to stay on track frm now on. You probably read that before in this blog J.
One more time we were blessed and fortunate to welcome and experience the holy month of Ramadhan. Fasting, praying at the mosque, watching our language, being patient, caring for others, and the one I enjoy most in this month reciting the holy Quran and this is not surprising since Ramadhan is the month of Quran and revelation of Quran started in Ramadhan. So bottom line is that we got a good recharge for our spiritual being. As much as our bodies require food to energize as much as spiritual being requires food to stay upbeat. Some say that food is about practices such as prayers, fasting, Quran recitations, etc.
Ramadhan is just amazing in everything. Fasting is very high act of worship and Allah tells us that Fasting is for me and I reward it. Unlike the other acts of worship such as prayers, charity, etc fasting is between a salve and the Lord because most of it is unseen to others. I mean who can really tell you senses are fasting such as your eye or tongue. The only problem I have during Ramdhan is we Muslims (I am no exception) tend to slow down life in Ramadhan in the sense that we work less, postpone tasks and blame it all on fasting. What’s the point of fasting while we reduce significantly our routine activities? How are we supposed to feel the struggle of the poor if we just chill out in Ramdhan and don’t even feel the hunger or thirst? I think we need to work on this one!
Quran is truly the miracle of miracles if I may say. Which book on earth that you can read it over and over again for years without getting bored? In fact every time you read through it you realize a new teaching, wisdom, guidance, etc. It is really inspiring and touching. May Allah make us among those whose hearts soften and eyes shed tears when they listen to the Quran and may Allah grant us a taste of Quran and Iman.

I pray to Allah that He accepts our fast and prayers not because we deserve it but because He is the most merciful most generous. O Allah you are the most forgiving make us among those who you freed from Hell fire. Ameen

Hope you all enjoyed and maximized in Ramadhan and had a wonderful Eid. Don’t forget to pass the first test after Ramadhan!!Fast the six days of Shawal. Come one brothers and sisters just six days and you get rewarded for fasting a full year what better bargain can we dream of.
