Marhaban ya Ramadhan
Nothing else to say but wishing you all, my dearest Moslem sisters and brothers, a blessed and solemn Ramadhan
Ramadhan will always be the special one.
This is one holy month which is better than 1000 other months.
This is the month when we can surrender fully to the Almighty, reading and listening to the beauty of His words in the Al-Quran and whispering those prayers to the sky and His paradise.
This is the high time to purify. To bring back our heart and soul to its blessed path.
To share kindness and patience, to forge the virtues we all hold dear in our hearts.
To me, Ramadhan is the reflection.
Time to take the journey back to my deepest soul.
To admit my wrongdoings and refrain myself from repeating them.
To fully realize how blessed we all are.
To share more happiness and kindness to others.
To be honest and stay true to ourselves.
To set the real priorities in this so-called life.
And more importantly, the After-life.
And this year, Ramadhan is even more special, thanks to Corona virus.
No sholat jamaah, or praying together at the mosque.
No gatherings in places of worship as well as other public places.
No rituals like hunting for takjil or the special food for breaking your fasting, or buka puasa bersama, breakfasting together, except with your nuclear family.
No mudik, going back home for Eid-al Fitr, the victory day, as we have to stay put in our home to fully observe social and physical distancing and flatten the curve, to avoid wider spread of the virus.
But that, should not dampen our spirit to seek His blessings and guidance.
To cleanse our heart and soul in this blessed month.
To return to our fitr.
To win our battle against our own demon.
In this trying time, never forget that Allah SWT will always give us the best scenario in life.
"Verily, with every difficulty, there is relief" Quran (94:5)
May Ramadhan bring you peace, pure joy and happiness, in Allah SWT's blessed path
