Lately just a few days of dear Ramadhan had past and this peace syaitan-less month had me thinking. It is a huge honor to be given the privilege to blog out this thought.
Here I go!^^
There was once a time not so long ago (well.. just a few days ago actually..teheee) where I had over heard an individual spoke to his brothers and sisters.
He had said, "Ramadhan is a month where syaitan all around the world (*pin point* just exaggerating) are tide-up and locked in hell which only means that we're left with ourselves and our inseparable friend our nafs." They all nodded in agreement along with myself. Then he had his eyes fixed on his brothers and sisters and he stated again;
"If any of you claim to want to self indulge yourself than Ramadhan is the best time for you to do so because no outsider is getting in your way, blinding you of what your true intentions are, so whatever is left with you during the Ramadhan is only YOU"
And to this locks clicked and doors opened. It makes sense I said to myself. Whatever happens to me during this festive month is based mainly on my own accord. I looked to my left, then to my right, from the faces made by my family I concluded that they were feeling the same way.
Ramadhan is the month for you to truly distinguish your true colors, and lately, I have to admit I'm just a tad shade of grey maybe with a tinge of purple-ish blue. (An emotional wreck in other words.)
Then a sudden voice whispered in my ears. I hadn't been listening carefully before, rather I never even bothered to listen but on that moment, during that time Allah had opened my ears loud and clear until the whispers that I've ignored before came to me like thunder.
"You're a diamond" it said to me. "A rare piece of jewel. Pure at the core. Yet stained by dirt and ashes that came with the wind. But hear me out! You made it thus far, no matter how much the wind blew you strengthened your roots and never gave in. So they never got to your core, you're still pure at your core just like how everyone else is when they were born and surfaced into this world," she said and gave me a light tap on my shoulder then gave me a warm smile.
"Don't give up, it's Ramadhan and it still is. Make it count"
I smiled. It's true! I still have a chance. I thought to myself...
So all of that leads me to one thing a servant of Allah had shared with me.
3 simple tips to graduate in Ramadhan with flying rainbows^^ (please, if you're a student avoid using this saying...)
- Get intimate with your wiffy or hubby the QURAN as much as possible because they are your umbrella in the afterlife for as long as you would imagine.
- Make sure you get yourself sold with the best price in your SOLAT with khushu'-ness. (I am aware that that's not even a word -,-)
- Purchase extraordinary INFAQ cement to secure the homes and farms you've made in Jannah thus far.
Well there you go, that's my thought. Alhamdulillah I thank Allah the creator of the high heavens for giving me the opportunity to voice this thought in a way that I hope would help you. I'm a servant ready to help! Yosh!
p/s: If you ever happen to read this abandoned blog, then just know this -though it's just a feeling of mine- Allah, our creator is trying to reach out to you BECAUSE He still LOVES you. Give it a chance meh?
salamualaikum :)
