Eidukum Mubārak, Taqabbalallahu minnā wa minkum sālihul a'māl! ✨
Tonight marks the first night of Shawwal. A month ago the awaited holy month came, Ramadhan. Eid brings joy in our hearts but along with it is a quiet sadness as we bid farewell to Ramadhan.
The moments of self-reflection, the nights filled with prayers, every restraint we did, the suppression to the desire to do things we aren't allowed to. They all feel like memories we wish we could hold onto a little longer.
Ramadhan is not just a month. It is the month that teaches us patience and forbearances, softening our hearts—bringing us closer to Allah. We part from Ramadhan not knowing if we really did our best—both gratitude and regrets within us. Yet there is hope that every whispered prayers were heard that every tear we shed in sujood was counted and that every small act of goodness carries weight beyond what we all can see.
Again, Eid Mubārak to all! May Allah accept from us and grant us to witness Ramadhan once again!
