Laylat-al-Qadr?!

Tonight at Taric the imam finished reading the Quran.

It was beautiful.. (and not only because I know all the surahs at the end so that I knew what they were actually saying). I'm not sure how to describe how I feel when everyone starts crying when they finish.. my throat is still all lumpy. Maybe I'll continue with this thought in a later post. It was just.. very beautiful.

In the car my dad asked if my grandma had been crying. I don't know why he bothers to ask. We all know she had been crying since Isha started.

I can't believe Ramadan is almost over :(

    Assalaamu Alaikum :)

    We go through this feeling every single year :( Last days of this blessed month. Insha'Allah we'll use them wisely. May Allah Swt bless us with another month of Ramadan, ameen.

    We went for the khotom at Nugget mosque - packed. They even livestreamed the video of the speeches, prayers and supplications on their website, pretty funky.

    These occassions are always so moving - you genuinely feel sad as the ramadan ends.

    The arrival of Eid is always a bittersweet occasion.

    Samia: Haha yes I remember we used to go there ALL the time. My family goes more to other mosques now but thats still my all time favourite one. I wish I went as much as I did then right now. Remember Sister Arifa? Last time I saw her there she had a little girl. I have a very faint memory of going to her house to practise for that Quran competition thing.. do you remember that?

    Only you would remember the patties lol but yes they were good :D Come visit soon!

    Squeeky: 3 more days, we definitely should use them wisely InshAllah.

    Mezba: I haven't been there for a long time, but I can imagine how full it must have been because Taric was really packed too. I do genuinely feel sad.. but wow videos on websites.. lol.. and people think we muslims still live in the dark ages :D

    Asmaa: Bittersweet indeed.

    Nabeel: I do read it with translation. I think it's very important to if you don't speak Arabic to know whats being said.
