Holy Month

It's the holy month of Ramadan. The month to get closer to the Almighty, to seek forgiveness, to acquire spiritual purity. Even the person who hasn’t got closer to mosques for more than. Once in a week now tries to say his prayers in this month with dedication. Don't laugh at these changes, we must appreciate them, this is the month to change to seek forgiveness instead we must encourage to continue this throughout the rest of our lives. May Allah bless us all.

When I stand still to say my prayers, the imam is reciting the verses on and on, pin drop silence and darkness around me. While I am trying to hear those verses that are mostly unknown to me give a pleasing experience to the heart, so refreshing.

After some time, I get busy with my worldly thoughts, all the tensions and things that I am bound to fulfill, things that are giving me troubles, and thoughts of all kinds. Can't you relate too? These are the times when most of our suppressed thoughts find a way to hover around. Yeah, I do get distracted from the recitation of the holy Quran. The next moment I do realise I am getting away with my thoughts and I do concentrate back on my prayers. I do feel like I am right before my Almighty, I do seek forgiveness and solution from him to get out of all the messy situations before me. To me, He is the only savior and till now He has always been there to keep me away from troubles, Alhamdulillah for everything.

Prayers have always been a gateway to mental peace, it gives immense satisfaction and rest to the most restless souls as well. This is the way I tackle the most crucial situations that I need to go through often. Get closer to Almighty, He is the only savior and shall ease each and every problem of us, just the patience to keep faith in Him and keep working on our best. Yeah, patience is the most important part of our lives. Patience includes tears, sleepless nights, endless thoughts, fear of messing up, and so on to go through.

I know this one got a little bit religious, right? But we all do rely on it in our own way, some may not, it's their choice, may we all find the truth and see the actual path to a beautiful life. I am not trying to preach anything, nor trying to impose any thoughts of mine on you, all I am just sharing the path to my escape from the situations that trouble me.

May we all have a blessed life,
Take care of yourself.
