What a Month…

Have you ever realized how much Ramadan gets people together? I mean people you would never expect to go to Masjid go, people you never knew before go, and ever year in this month we meet these new people and new friendships are made. It’s really a very happy thought. In the month of Ramadan I try real hard to not get angry or upset over anything. I juss try to let it all pass, and hoping that inshaAllah my patience will increase.

Taraweeh prayer is all ways, for me, the most interesting part of Ramadan, basically because you get to see everyone together. One thing about this that I can talk about from my own experience is of course about us Afghan’s. You see Afghan’s juss have this thing, like they go to only ‘Afghan Masaajids’ its really weird. I know a lot of Afghans from different families, backgrounds, almost all of them are different in their own unique way, but most of them have this thing that they have to go to an Afghan Masjid; I mean of course we all know that we are all Muslims but for some reason they feel the necessity to go only to an Afghan Masjid. But you see in the month of Ramadan, they (well most of them) put this feeling aside and they go to their local Masjid (Afghan or not) and ‘hamdulillah I mean the more I think about it, the more it amazes me. SubhanAllah, in one month there are like Muslim’s pouring in form all over the place, its like “raining Muslims” now, they are all over the place, my friend and I describe it as whole bunch of Muslim’s that begin coming out of a black hole or something, subhanAllah its like the best thing in the world. Then you also get this sense of Muslim pride all over the place, when your in Masjids you see kids that are incredibly happy to be there, you see adults incredibly happy, the month of Ramadan juss radiates happiness , it seriously does.

I would also like to address the questions, and remarks that were given to me when I originally posted this post. For those of you who had told me that I am being hypocritical because all of a sudden I am having posts on Islam and that I have no right to analyze these kinds of Muslims–May Allah forgive me and i appologize, that really wasn’t my intention of hurting anyone’s feelings, or whatever it may have been I really truly am sorry if it came out the wrong way. Apparently I am not that much of a strong writer and I really do have to be careful with this blog and how I word thing’s or how I present them. Once again I truly am sorry and may Allah fogive me for any wrong I may have done. Well I guess jumping off of that, my blog is fairly new, and I really do make an effort to try to make posts about Islam, but I also like to have posts about the world around us, and the present day events that go on as well. But the reason I have some random posts of me rambling (much like this one) was because I felt that maybe if I put thing’s that have occurred in my life, may someone out there who is reading this, maybe it can help them. Maybe there is someone who is reading my blog, and they can reflect upon it and that by reading my blog they could get some feed back and not have to go through the mistakes that I have been through, AllahuAlam, maybe it actually is helping someone out there, inshaAllah it is helping someone. I actually do like it when people make remarks like this, because it gives me more reason to reflect upon myself about what ever the case may be and these little thing’s can help me improve as a person, or even better yet it can help me become better in my Deen (InshaAllah)

Well I hope that your are all taking advantage of this blessed month and doing as many extra’s of anything and everything. Please keep the Ummah as a whole in your du’aa’s, please try to keep me in your du’aa’s, and of course make sure you keep yourself in your du’aa and inshaAllah our du’aa’s will be accepted by Allah. I hope that this blessed month passes us with us knowing that we have not wasted our time but filled it with the most amount of worship and good deeds that we feel that we could have done, and may you all be reading this in the best state of health, and in the most joy full state, InshaAllah.
