It's hard to let go.
It's that time of the year again when I don't want to say goodbye to my best month. Everyone's prepping for Eid and I'm here hoping I can have just one more day - just one more.
Already in my feelings, already having withdrawal symptoms because I don't want to see this month go.
In my slight sadness, something brought me joy, my dear sister asked me what Ramadan has been to me and, my response was 'Ramadan has been an opening an opening of the Qur'an, its recitation and reflection.'
SubhanAllah! This Ramadan made me feel like I've never seen this Holy book before, it was a light, healing, inspiration, advice and much more. AlhamduliLlahi Rabbil ‘aalameen.
As you know with openings, comes beginnings and I look forward to the goodness that will come forth from this journey that only just started.
I pray that as the opening grows wider I can continue to explore and receive the goodness of this gift from my Creator and I pray for the same for you too.
With a mix of sadness and an overwhelming sense of gratitude, I wish you Eid Mubarak.
I also want to know, what has this Ramadan meant to you?
May the Almighty accept your striving, reward you for all your acts of worship, bless you with consistency and grant you the ultimate blessing of Al- Jannah Firdaus.
If this Ramadan was a struggle, remember Allah is the most appreciative and He acknowledges and rewards all our efforts. This is not the end of the road, it’s not over, keep striving my dear Sister.
We rest for Eid and then we get back to work!
Eid Mubarak, my dear sister.
We leave you in Allah's care,
All of us at Ibadahplug.
