Ramadhan 1428

Ramadhan is here once again. The month where we cleanse ourselves physically and mentally. The month where we reflect on our lives and on the lives of others who may not live the life of privilege we do. The month where our 'ibadah' are rewarded thousands of times.

This year, I am grateful to Allah swt for blessing me with the health to see Ramadhan once again. I am also grateful that this year I get to spend Ramadhan and Syawal with my family and loved ones here in Malaysia. I get to cook with my mom, preparing dishes for 'buka puasa'. I get to perform the 'terawikh' prayers with my family at the mosque. Later in Ramadhan, my mom and I will be making our famous 'kek lapis', cheese biscuits, tarts and makmur biscuits. Oh, the joy of Ramadhan! Alhamdulillah..

Nobody knows if this will be their last Ramadhan. All we can do is pray, prepare and ask for Allah swt's forgiveness.
