RamadaN (The Holy Month) . .

Ramadan is once again upon us . . YUPPPPPIII 

Yes, I am excited !! Happy Ramadan Everyone =)

I love the month of Ramadan soooo much & it was always special to me . . I love the amazing spirit that comes along with it . . It can be sensed in everything, but can’t be described . .!!!! WooooW!!

When I was a little girl, Ramadan meant a lot to me . . My parents used to buy a colorful “Fanous” for me & my brother . . it was really fantastic, not like those Chinese toys Nowadays !!

I also remember that I started to practice fasting since I was 5 or 6 years old . . I used to beg my mother to let me fast the whole day, then next afternoon by 1:30 pm coming home from school starving, She let me break my fast and then we agreed that I’d only fast till I got home from school =))
All of the kids were not fasting or just fast the quarter of the day, but if anyone was discovered drinking or eating Oooooo it was a serious scandal LOOOL =)))))

Also, Ramadan was so special because of “Boogy & tamtam", it was one of the best kid's shows ever !!

I really miss those days. . .

When I was younger, I thought watching soap operas & the different TV shows are what made Ramadan so special to me !! As in Ramadan the TV was much more available, not like the other weekdays !!

It was always so special because of the yummy food :) the family gatherings, the decorated streets by lanterns “fawanees”, the short school\work hours . . . etc.

A lot of memories I can write about Ramadan . . A lot of things I still love about Ramadan . .

But my idea about Ramadan is totally different now . . . it isn’t about food , gatherings or soap operas any longer !!!

What is really so special about Ramadan is the spirit of boosting faith that comes once a year!

Fasting , reading Qur'an everyday, doing zikr as much as possible, praying Taraweeh, giving sadaqat, charity. . Etc.

WooW !!

I can call it the charger which charge the battery of ourselves !! so that we can drive the vehicle safely during the rest of the year!

Ramadan Kareem Everyone . . . May Allah guide us to make the most out of this Holy Month. . .
