Ramadhan 2011

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: Allah's has given me another opportunity in this short life to enjoy this blessed month, to seek His Forgiveness, to seek His Compassion, and to seek His Many Bounties

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: For sahur, a bowl of cereal, a slice of bread & 3 dates goes well with my delicate tummy

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: For iftar, a bowl of oats, topped with dates & fruits keeps me full till after the tarawih prayers

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: Allah has put a sense of peacefulness in my heart as I prepare for iftar for my family

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: Despite the busy schedule, I have 20 minutes a day for reciting the Quran and guide my 11 year old with his Muqaddam (yup, still in the junior series)

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: When I see my husband every evening, he's all smiles, despite all the worries he's shouldering

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: My 4 year old managed to last 9.5 hours fasting! But I guess the water in the fridge was more tempting, ;)

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: My 15 year old will be sitting for her trial exams while fasting

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: For my dad who's still going strong at 75, despite his knee aches, he still performs the tarawih

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: For my mom who still managed to put up a feast for iftar last Saturday. She amazes me. I pray and hope I will be able to do the same for my kids in the future...insyaAllah

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: I have contributed what I can in the name of Allah for charity and hope in years to come will be able to do more

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: my MIL's have been somewhat "nice"...hopefully no hidden agenda ;)

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: For the somewhat nicer weather in the evenings which makes the tarawih prayers a breeze

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: Malaysia is still quite a nice peaceful place to live in

Alhamdulillah for this Ramadhan: there are millions of Muslims around the globe who are able to fast despite the problems their countries face (political instability, weather, famine, etc, etc, etc)

Alhamdulillah for this Ramdhan: Allah has and will keep on giving His Manyfold Bounties to the ummah of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him)

Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah this Ramadhan has been better than the last and InsyaAllah, the next will better than this....

Ramadhan is surely beautiful isn't it?
