Assalamu alaikum!

Eid Mubarak, you lovely people! Taqabbal minna wa minkum. May Allah accept all our tiny tiny efforts and grant us many more such Ramadans to come. Ameen!

Don't forget to say Takbir cuz this is how we celebrate. By proclaiming praises to the Lord who let us live and love through this Ramadan!

Let's say it together!

Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar La ilaaha illAllahu Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar walillahil Hamd. 💖

And don't forget to look dapper!💥

Another Ramadan has slipped by too soon.

Another opportunity to be our best has gone by.

But is it the only one?

Ramadan sure does feel like a breath of fresh air. Allah makes it easy for us to fast and do ibaadah. Our hearts feel complete and somehow, at home.

I read a post by some Shaikh on Facebook. It said, "Do you know why we feel so happy in Ramadan? It's because we are doing what we were created to do. "

And SubanAllah that's so on point.

During Ramadan, every Muslim --practicing or not--takes one wobbly step further towards Allah.

One tentative fast, one reflective session with the Qur'an and one quiet salah closer to our true purpose.

The absolute bliss this month gets can never be put into words.

But all the Qiyam and Qur'an and dua doesn't have to end.

Allah is still going to come down to the first heaven every night.

The Qur'an is still filled with lessons and guidance.

Allah is still near and still responding to the one who calls.

"Whoever worships Ramadan must know that Ramadan has gone. But whoever worships Allah must know that Allah is Ever-Living."

Every second of yours is His. Your entire life is His. Don't just restrict it to Ramadan.

Don't let your Ramadan fervour die. You've seen the glimpse of what you can and want to be, this month.

Don't let it go.

If you haven't completed your goals, don't worry. There's always going to be flaws in us.

But we've still got time. Make sure you make every day count.

Make your post-Ramadan goals tonight and do your best to accomplish them by next Ramadan.

Because that's what life is all about.

Struggling, believing and achieving.

Now go collect some Eidi! 😁
