Ramadan is coming

The moon is waining, closing, peeping
Through her veils she shines her light
Then soon as she disappears inside
Will she return with a smile
Bringing through her doorway the light of the month of the ummah
The holy month of Ramadan
In which there is
No other honour
For all muslims living
The Mercy,Love and Forgiveness
That it brings to those who observe the commands
Of fasting prescribed
Additional rakaats through the night
And recitation of the Holy Al Qur'an
From Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala
Which Angel Jibril alaihi salam did recite and taught to
Our most beloved Prophet Muhammad
salallahu alaih alih wa shohbihi wassalam
Oh Ramadan, we await eagerly once again
To fill the Earth with your special presence
Heralding angels all through the month
Charting all muslims favoured with the sweetness of fasting
A scent likened to musk
And the pleasure of the Rabb is awaiting those
Whose weakness and thirst
Are only for their Lord
Oh Holy month of Ramadan, we await you
Bringing Al Nuur Karim, to us
When we shall enjoy and endure the hardships
When we shall proclaim with great pride
When we prostrate with much humility
When we shall nourish our souls
We hope and pray
That on The Day
We shall meet you, dear Ramadan
And we shall offer grateful thanks
For visiting us,
each year that we lived and breathed,
Without fail
We wait for you so we may exclaim
Ahlan wa sahlan Yaa Ramadan
Inshaallah

Ramadan 24, 1438H

Assalamualaikum warahmahtullahi wabarakatuh. Assalatu wasalam ala sayyidina Muhanmmad was ala alih.  Bulan Ramadhan yang sempurna sudah mau berakhir. Ummat menjemput kedatangan malam Laylatul Qadr: sebuah malam yang disebutkan yang lebih berkah dan punya pahala yang berlebih2an; pahala berganda ; malam dimana malaikat Jibril dan semua malaikat2 lain menurun ke Bumi untuk melihatkan manusia dan mendoakkan kita. Ini ialah kepercayaan ; iman dan deen seorang muslim / mukmin. Dengan kesadaran ini kita punya harapan. Dengan harapan kita inshaallah meningkatkan keimanan. Allah zal Jalalu tidak pernah mau melimpahkan kepada manusia sesuatu, selain rasa kasih cinta; sebab itu muslim2 seluruh dunia merasa ketenangan bulan mulia ini. Kalau memang ada di tempat2, yang dalam bulan Ramadhan yang tidak nyaman , masih berperang ; artinya mereka sendiri menjauhi diri mereka daripada kegembiraan yang Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala hendak memberikan.

Aims

Although I am afraid Although I may feel weak Although destiny has been written  Nothing prepares for it’s trials  Although I may have knowledge  Although I may be courageous  Although I have my principles  Nothing but faith can lift me Although  I dread what future holds  Although life’s path is blurred Although my aim is apparent  Nothing but my self can take this road  So,  when this path is trodden Slowly will I venture  The care and caution I will use  In time I will be beholden  To experience which age has brought That will guide me towards my haven  ~lorrainenur@2018 Seems inspirations are starting once more. How I have missed it’s presence. 🌹
