We are already 18 days through Ramadhan. Doesn't feel like 18 days though. Maybe because the work days so far were shorter than 5 due to Merdeka Day and Nuzul Quran which fell on Mondays. And next week is a 3 working day for me as i will start my 'balik kampung' journey on Thursday. 1 more weekend and the next weekend is already Hari Raya...Time really flies.... One of the signs of hari kiamat???
Alhamdulillah, i manage to do terawih prayers this year. Initially I wanted to berjemaah at the surau but on the 1st night the surau was so full. Rather that gruntling as i pray, i decided to pray at home. I feel this is better as a start.
Some people don't appreciate people doing terawih at home as if the effort is of little significance.... Yes, i admit a lot can be gained in terms of pahala if we do it at the surau. But rather that giving advice, they seems more like passing judgement...'tidak merebut peluang' is the most common remark.... I think this people have not embraced that only Allah SWT knows everthing and what's best for every human being He created. Have they ever try to understand why some people behave and act certain ways?
The religion doesn't burden its followers but encourage us to constantly change and improve for the better. As the phrase goes 'begin the end in mind', I have a vision to be an excellent Muslim one day. Excellence in terms of ibadah, thinking process and lifestyle. And i am making small steps towards that since this is what i can afford to do at the moment....
Selamat menjalankan ibadah berpuasa.....
