The night prayers and the weekend Iftar with our community was so wonderful it is hard to put into words. The feelings I had and the strength of our Eman increased was the most enjoyable time in my life.
At first before Ramadan started, I was thinking how am I going to do this because I never fasted before. The ease and the peacefullness I felt inside was truly remarkable. Allah (SWT) made it easy for me, Alhamdulilah! My Brothers were saying when Ramadan ends you will be sad it is over. How true this was also.
As our Imam told us, we should take this month as a training ground to be better Muslims not only in this month, but throughout the whole year.
Peace and blessings to all my Brothers and Sisters for Ramadan and the the whole year long. In sha Allah we will all be here next year for this blessed month. Ameen!
