Ramadhan comes again !

"O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become God-fearing." (The Quran, 2:183)

..Ramadhan comes again...the most awaiting for...Fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The month is spent by Muslims fasting during the daylight hours from dawn to sunset. ....
Special nightly prayers called, Taraweeh prayers are held. The entire Quran is recited in these prayers in Mosques all around the world. This month provides an opportunity for Muslims to get closer to God. This is a month when a Muslim should try to:
bulletSee not what displeases Allah
bulletSpeak no evil
bulletHear no evil
bulletDo no evil
bulletLook to Allah with fear and hope

....and as for me..the routine is more or less the same... three quarter of the day spent @ school- preaching biology (~_^)..Back home take a nap for a short while.....next is to plan what to have for breaking the fast...Dishes as usual..a simple dinner, no elaboration....with 'kurma' and a glass of sweet drink.....and rice....
Night time, after maghrib prayer.....in between, before isya', recite few pages of Quran.....then off for solat Taraweeh.....

...Before going to sleep..do a bit of reading of any religious books, simply to update, to refresh, to remind ......that life is a God gift...that we belong to HIM, the Almighty, the most Merciful, Most Compassionate...
