Ramadhan Flew By…
Three days after Eid and I am sitting on my balcony where I can vividly see the sun setting and the moon taking it’s post in the calm skies. I see a commercial airline flying through the clouds at lightning speed; heading towards Pearson Airport; and it strikes me that the blessed Month of Ramadhan flew by in pretty much the same way.
Not too long ago we were preparing for, and subconsciously worrying about the long fasts and the hot days within which we would have to go without food and water for over 15 hours!
A part of me felt at that time, as guilty as it sounds, that it would be a relief to successfully complete the month and the fasts. But now, on the other side of those 30 days, my heart feels nothing but sorrow and grief.
The fasts were long, yes, and the days were tiring. There were moments one could only thank God that a feast awaited at the time of Iftaar, but Alhamdulillah there was focus and strength during the month that was a sign of His Power and Blessings in itself.
