Enter Ramadhan

“…enter ramadhan, the gates of Heaven are open, the gates of the Hell are closed and the evil devils are chained…”                                                                       (Bukhari, Muslim, Nasaaei)

Ramadhan is very special. Not particularly because after that we have Eid, ramadhan's full of blessings. 

Beside the fasting, iftar and taraweeh prayer,Quran was descended in this month, al-Qadr lingers among nights of ramadhan. We are more prone to do good deeds in this blessed month.   

Culturally, in a muslim nation such as Malaysia, ramadhan is much celebrated. Mosques are filled with activities, and people. These bring good drive for many relatively inactive people to go to mosque or to multiple his prayers at home. Most people fast (non-muslim find it a good time to diet), and they can fast for 12-13 hours a-day, better than committing the daily 5 times  prayer.


Free food is everywhere, just you be in any mosque upon maghrib. For the people of business, this could be a month of good return too. Smokers can stop smoking for at least 12 hours, and many would find it weird to do bad deeds. 


Well, tomorrow is the first day. Hope for a great day. Dear God, bless us.
