Ramadhan.

Ramadan is now leaving us slowly. 1 week remaining and it saddens me how fast time flies. I hope that this month of fasting will not be the last for me. The very thought of it conjures up images of a splendid month of fasting and the general spirit of well-wishing and generosity.

Fasting is not only to make us feel what poor people experience, for it has a lot more to it. It is also about patience and forgiveness, it is about trying to be honest among the society, and help them do good things for one another. 

As the maghrib prayer approaches the fasting people, the streets get emptier, as the tables get crowded with food, and as the people rush to the dining table. There is complete silence as they wait for the prayer to be announced, so that they could break the fast. There isn't better feeling than the cold water running down your throat, and the taste of the delicious food.

Besides worshiping god, Ramadan has another side to it, a side of full happiness, where the whole family sits together and discusses a lot of things. It is a month where people get closer by just seeing each other every day in the mosque as they share the religious moments together. 

All in all, the month of Ramadan allows all muslims to gain self discipline, concentrate on things that are vital in life, worship Allah and become closer to Him, have a great change in their diet, and most importantly, gain mindfulness.
