Salam my beautiful sisters. Apologies for taking a while to actually write a new post.
So, tonight is the 21st night of Ramadan Alhamdulilah. I literally cannot believe how fast this ruza has gone.
Like always, I feel so sad - I just always feel like I have never done enough. This year it was slightly different for me because I am working in London and by the time I come home its 7pm and then by the time I help Mum with food, it's iftar. So, unlike last year I feel like this year was disappointing. But, InshAllah Allah has accepted everything that I have done - this year it was quality over quantity!
I have utilised my 21st night by doing namaaz, reading Quran, watching lectures and reflecting. Reflection being key. For me, reflecting on oneself during Ramadan is so important. I basically thought about my character, the good deeds and bad deeds I have done, my behaviour towards my parents and family and just thought generally on how I can better myself. See - the problem with me is, I think too much, but in this case thinking too much is a good thing! I pray to Allah that He betters my character, keeps me on the straight path and most importantly fills my heart with Taqwa.
Even though Shaytan is 'locked' up during this month, his stirring still has an impact on our hearts and for me I just make duaa that Allah truly accepts my prayers in the last 10 blessed days of Ramadan.
So I leave you with this my little ones - Know that Allah is Al-Maliq, Allah truly governs us and without Allah we are nothing. He is the hand that feeds us, He guides us and He loves us. We are never alone, that is the beauty of Allah knowing what is inside our heart. So, seek refuge in the one who created your heart xxxx
