Ramadhan comes again

Minaratul-Masih
Ramadhan is here once again, just like last year and the year before. Its back and its here to stay, for a month at least. As we all know the holy month is a time of great holiness and blessings. During this month, Muslims all over the world abstain from food and drink and begin praying like crazy. At prayer time they’re seen running towards the Jama`t, dripping water all over, their Jinnah caps and their beards flowing. An awesome sight watching the creation hurrying to worship their creator. Even the most irreligious of us can be seen praying in this blessed month, begging forgiveness for their sins. The imprisoned Satan is powerless while Momins carry out their fasting activities with complete devotion.
Not feeling the Ramadhani fever yet? No problem! Get your blood flowing by visiting your nearest Jama Masjid and offering taraweehs all night with all the cool
kids. Listen to a sipara or too and you’ll be back in business. You have, after all survived another summer of heat and perspiration and lived through the tandoori nights. That’s something to be proud of, to enjoy. Its time to rejoice and be grateful to the Lord.
