Ramadan reflection

This is beautiful & worth reading.. Very beneficial ... ------- Many of us feel inadequate this Ramadan. Long hours of fasting with short nights makes it hard for those of us who are parents of young kids, or those of us working full time, or those of us who are unable to fast, "FEEL" Ramadan. We can't do the extra worship we used to and even when we get in our extra Qur'an or pray in the mosque we can't even concentrate, so we end up just feeling lame.

Ramadhan with Nusaybah

Lol When ifthar time arrived, I could see the excitement and happiness, while we were sitting and made دعاء together on the dinner table, she kept asking:" can I eat now? Is it time for ifthar now?" For 5-6 times!  I then reminded her the Hadith about the two happiness of those who fast 1. When they break their fast 2.

"29 or 30 days ان شاءٓ الله " I said What makes me happy and touched the most is her next comment: "I hope th...
