Ramadan and Patience

Salaams to all.

As the last 10 days of Ramadan creep up, I shall not be posting much and Insha-Allah practising what I have been preaching so far. In the meantime, I had to post this following message from hafihz.com as it is a great reminder for us all.

Remember me in your prayers.

Peace and salaams to all.

Ramadan and patience… inseparable.

You wake up in the early hours, despite the heaviness, and almost force yourself to eat at times, no matter what the food, no matter how zero the appetite is. Patience in sahur.
You sleep back, and minutes later have to wake up to begin normal routine. Patience in a nap which never seems enough.
You chase the train, bus. Your sahur’s energy potential, is gone in just that dash. Patience in time.
You go through lunch time with Zuhur, and catching up with the Quran or a tazkirah. Even perhaps a youtube video. Patience in spending time which had been used for eating.
You look at the clock. Almost time to go home, but not yet. Yet you’re alittle tired. Patience in fairness.
You sit at the table. You hear the Azan. You eat what’s near, slowly. Patience in breaking fast.
No sooner you journey for terawih. Patience in routine.
You come back home, try catch up with other stuffs. Patience in prioritization.

Patience. Remember the reward, and keep your eyes on the prize.
