Ramadhan Al Mubarak

Ramadhan is indeed a month full of blessing. There are so many momentous events that happen in Ramadhan for my family. We had just finished off the payment for our family car. Praise be to Allah, the car is truly ours now. We moved to the present house in the month of Ramadhan last two years. Before that we moved to our first house on first of Ramadhan eleven years ago after living in rented houses for so many years.

There were so many momentous events that happen to Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him (pbuh) in the month of Ramadhan. Many of the battles fought were in Ramadhan. The fasting muslim soldiers could fight the opposing battalion that was countless times bigger than them. In the battle of Badr' there were only 313 muslim soldiers as compared to one thousand kuffar soldiers.

Doa or prayers are easier to be granted by Allah in the month of Ramadhan. That reminds me to say my prayers all the time, wishing Allah to protect my family and to give us happiness in the world and in the hereafter.

We human, always committed crime against ourselves. We forget Allah in times of happiness but we blame Allah in times of hardship. No matter how much we have we always wish for more, forgetting to thanks Allah for everything that we have. When Allah takes aways something from us that we always take for granted but forget to be grateful for it (like our good health), then only will we realize how much blessing we has had. We human always realized how lucky we were only after we lose what we had. Our list of crimes against ourselves will go on and on. We forget that Allah do not need us. On contrary it is we that need Allah.

On this holy night of Ramadhan I am doing a check list of what I should do more (like being thankful to Allah all the times), what I should do less (like complaining and grumbling), what I should avoid (like talking about topics or people that will eventually make me feel dishearten with the good things that I'm trying to do), ect. O Allah, please guide me in every way for I'm such a weak person. Please give me the strength to follow the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Protect me from my own weaknesses. Give me the wisdom to differentiate between the good and the bad.

May Allah bless us all.
