how has this ramzan been for you?

as ramzan comes to an end, do you think in terms of gaining from this month, and reflecting within it.. is it better than last year or previous years? what are some things you wish you could have done better?

i’m a little gutted that i didn’t set aside enough time to read the quran with its english translation too, just in arabic. i also think i could’ve done more in terms of charity iftars/fundraising.

before a party pooper steps in, yes we should be doing these things all year round but when you’re given a specific month to really focus on it.. there is no harm in maximising sawab during that time.

I didn’t have enough mandazi. :confused:

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

It’s been pretty emotionally distressful due to the IDP crisis and massacre of Palestinians.

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

this was bit more hectic and hot and passed very quickly, bit emotionally upset.

Been wonderful so far.Islamic State released all the Indian nurses in Mosul.India won at Lords after 28 years.

:hehe:

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

I could have done more too but :alhamd:

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

Time went too fast :naak:

I’ve not been able to do all the ibaadat as I first had intended.

:frowning:

Not to mention the shooting down of the Malaysian plane.
Since I saw the falling plane video I keep thinking of the qayaamat-e-sughraa inside the nose-diving plane. :eek:

Sometimes life seems so unfair.
Feel guilty for enjoying the pleasures of life knowing what is happening to other people. :teary1:
Allah, please do whatever to make things better. Ameen.

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

I think the bit about not having enough time for ibaadat is the direct result of electronic and social media eating up all our time and attention. :emmy:

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

If i look back at past years and compare with current Ramadhan, tbh i hardly did anything this month. and by that i mean its been very less ibadah, less change in pre-ramadhan routine so as a result it feels like my contribution is minimal to avail this beautiful time.

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

I think that’s probably very true :bummer:

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

I wouldn’t worry about it too much, kid.

Your time is better spent blogging sex jokes.
Maybe God will also get a chuckle out of them and bless you and give you some brownie points as savaab. Seriously. :chai:

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

It was disappointing. Because of the depressing constant reminders on social media of how people really are faring in the world, muslims killing other muslims, my shia brethren having a tough time, more sunnis going nuts around the world in their extremism, muslim countries falling apart one by one, war now in Pakistan in miramshah, IDP’s, my little fast (basically skipping lunch) paled in it’s meaning. I missed a lot of fasts, in fact probably missed half the month, because I wasn’t disciplined enough to wake up early for sehri. Felt like there was just no point in celebrating this month with all the death and dying, and then personal problems, and all.

I know I know. Maybe next year.

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

you made me sad pcg.
still day left, please indulge.

only time sahabas use to pray for prolonging of their life was before ramazan.
go traweeh listen to quran there is nothing close to human heart then quran.. even in foreign language.

I pray for you now to end of ramazan. see if you feel it.

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

It went by too fast, wish I could have done more. Wasn’t in the right state of mind this time, lots going on inside my head :frowning:

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

and one of ma class fellows and ma uncle also died dis month …but :alhamd: :alhamd: :alhamd:

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

the unending and meaningless argumentative threads/posts on GS spoiled the spirit of Ramadhan. a lot of users earned a lot of ‘sawaabs’ for their efforts. :smiley:

Re: how has this ramzan been for you?

It was rather disappointing on account of:

  1. As others already mentioned, not being able to do all the ibaadat as I had originally intended, partially the result of:
  • Moving to a new city and getting settled.
  • Busy job searching in said new city.
  • Procrastination on account of the first two and other things.
  1. Being quite concerned about a couple of people
  • Brother-in-law is currently in Afghanistan for his job and the area he’s working in isn’t terribly secure.
  • Close friend volunteering in Gaza. Self explanatory.
  1. Moving to a new city and not being able to see family and friends as much this Ramzan.
