Ramadan Mubarak!

"Yoghurt?" "Done!" "Milk?" "Done!" "Frozen parathas?" "Done!" "Dates?" "I totally forgot it..."
As women and men gush over to the fruit stalls and markets,bumper to bumper returning with trollies full of ingredients for Sehri and Iftari;notifies us how muslims all over the world prepare for fasting just the minute the moon is sighted.


After the holy month of Shaba'an comes a month of blessings,of peace and of control, the divine month of "Ramadhan".


Every muslim, men and women, kids and teens long for this sacred month. The excitement for fasting grows even more the day before 1st Ramadhan. I still remember the poem,


"Ramzan kay rozay aaein,
Hum jhoom jhoom jaein,
hum roza rakhna chahein,
tu ghar walay farmaein,
aglay saal, aglay saal, aglay saaaal!" 


Same was the case with me before turning 12 I use to bug mama a lot that I even want to fast but she always piped me down by saying:You can of course....a "Chirtria Roza" in which you can eat all you want! 


Ramadhan is the long waited month of purity and perhaps every capable muslim should fast and pray the whole month. Ask for forgiveness from Allah and pray for his blessings to be upon you and your family.
Control your moods and remember he is watching you. 
No evil deeds would enter your heart or mind the entire month as the devil is away. So be calm and don't let your inner-self out of control.


For now I'll leave you with this short note: Thank him for making you so capable, for giving you all the blessings, and for Ramadhan!
Let me be short this time so Happy Ramadhan to everyone.
