thanks to the Malaysian community here in SoCal, and the presence of my brother. This is so far the best Ramadhan I've lived through, through out my life here in the United States. I've been here long enough to know how lonely it is when you have no family/friends during Ramadhan. Fasting feels like a burden, and way longer, breaking it feels like just another dinner, but no, not this year. Thank you again.
Anyways… some ramblings about Ramadhan. People have a propensity to lecture about the hypocrisy surrounding Ramadhan and how we should behave during this holy month. Ramadhan is meant to revitalize our souls for the upcoming year. So what if I intentionally stop certain bad behavior? Or try my best to read more Quran and pray? Or try to do more good deeds? It's not hypocritical, but relatively it's a chance to redeem oneself and insya allah gain a spot amongst Allah’s companion. My favorite way to prepare for Ramadan is to memorize certain surah. I will remember my friends and families in my prayers. I will list their needs as best I can and pray for them. I remember, my ustaz preached us to not only pray for the ones we care for, but for our enemies as well. So what is your doa this Ramadhan?
