Hungry?

“…And it is better for you that you fast, if you only knew.”

[Al-Baqarah 2:184]

Salam Alayk my brothers and sisters :) Apa khabar iman? I haven’t asked that for a long time. Shame on me. Ish…ish…ish…

I’m home now. Got back yesterday for the sudden 1 week holiday. To my dear cousins Zareen & Mira don’t be jealous. My next holiday will only be when it’s time to celebrate Eid Mubarak. I won’t be breaking fast in Ramadhan at home at all you see due to this holiday so there’s really nothing to be jealous about :)

Yesterday was very temperamental. I had some issues to sort out and at first it really hurt me but I’ve learnt to be strong and I tell you the 2 days of fasting before that really did help in giving my heart strength. I can’t explain it but really, it gave me strength.

I can be really pathetic at times. I apologize for that to those who have to be around me. Sorry.

Now is the month of Syaaban. Have you been taking the opportunities given by Allah to you on this blessed month? Sure there are many things that can be done but what I’m referring to now is fasting. Have you been fasting? I’ve already missed 3 days :( a bit of a waste there but its okay coz what’s done is done. Time to look ahead and hopefully I’d be able to fast more :)

Like the verse above taken from the Quran, it’s better for us that we fast if only we knew. Isn’t that a regrettable tone? “..if only you knew.” Meaning to say here is that we are ever so ignorant to how special fasting can be.

Fasting isn’t only in Ramadhan. We know that don’t we? Then why is it so weird to see a person fast outside of it? Because it’s out of the norm to most people and there’s no one to blame but yourself for this. Seems like something small doesn’t it? I mean fasting, what’s the big deal? But then again, it’s small things that give big impacts, sadly their always forgotten.

I’m only saying what I think and so it might not be right but you dear reader, think about it anyway. No harm done :)

There’s a verse in the Quran but I can’t remember which :( I’ll get back to that cay but what it says is that, in doing something for Allah even if it seems very hard for you to do (meaning you really don’t feel like doing it up to the point that it seems like you’re not sincere or because it’s difficult) just do it anyway because that’s what’s better for you.

That verse get’s me going and so I’ll find it and post it next week cay? (tafsir tinggal kat cemara. *pinches self*)

Oh well, think about it. Don’t you wanna fast this month? :)
