It's that time of the year

Ramadhan 1431 is here and today is the 6th day of the fasting month. Alhamdulillah I am still here to fast and feeling relieved as i was actually looking forward for this holy month. The excitement for the coming of Ramadhan had been in my mind two weeks before it starts.

The month has this special scent in the air. That feeling of togetherness in devoting our obligations to the All Mighty and it further strengthen family ties - a time to be together for each other. As we are also encouraged to give to the needy and the poor, the month is a time to reflect on self where religious discipline reminds us that we are who we are and it serves the purpose of living in this world.

To me, it is also a time to remember our dearly departed and our role as the generation that appreciates life and what it has to offer.

From me to you - Ramadhan Kareem
