Ramadhan...

This will be my second Ramadhan back in my place after spending five Ramadhan at where I studied…

During Ramadhan, I prefer to fast at my place. Food taste nicer and it is cheaper too. Maybe it is just because I like to break my fast with local food.

Spending Ramadhan at where I used to study was not really that bad. I do not have problem with people eating in front of me. We are supposed to fast during Ramadhan while running around doing our daily life as usual. I find it weird that people here have to go home early, cannot do certain tasks and etc just because of fasting. That should not be the case…

The simplicity of breaking the fast and doing other ibadah there are not the same as in my place.

To be able to eat food from lots of different Muslims countries are just amazing.

The best advice I ever have for Quran reading, I got it in Ramadhan too… It is about how people nowadays try to finish the Quran or Qhatam as many times as possible in Ramadhan. Now it is not exactly a bad thing but with the focus more on just finishing rather than trying to understand it, we lose out on understanding Islam more.

It is best to have everything in moderation. Read Quran and understand it at the same time. I was told to read the meaning after reading it in Arabic. So that we can reflect and understand the messages relay to us from Allah…

May we gain more Iman and Taqwa through this Ramadhan…

Insyaallah…
