It feels as though fasting started yesterday. Today is but actually the fifteenth day. Thusly, it won’t be amazing when the subsequent weeks also run fast like a cheetah.
As believers, it’ll not be prudent for us to start pushing the days of Ramadan away in our mind’s clock. Not at all. Rather, we need to go back to the drawing board and check with our records whether we have indeed performed to satisfactorily. Have we pleased Allah?
Maybe we’re lagging in our quest to offer the congregational prayers, the long-standing, providing neighborly needs throughout the days of fasting. If it is so, then we make amends. Similarly, it could be that we’ve shunned the despicable acts we swore not to ever venture into. If so be it, then we keep keeping on. For this is right.
Self appraisal is deemed appropriate in all fields. It’s one of the tools which consciously keeps us on our toes. In hindsight, ensure that, for the next two weeks, you will fast with a more striking form of uprightness. That, even when you’re asked about the deeds you performed during Ramadan, your face will be beamed with smiles, with the hope of gaining Allah’s rewards.
And please keep in mind that we’re not boxing ourselves into the bracket of those who’ll fast and won’t get any better thing than hunger and thirst. A no for that.
