The last 2 years, the world has been crippled by
covid-19. Days seem sorrow every where in this planet. All celebrating days
were celebrated in gloom, no gathering, no cheers, no laughter, not even
smiles. Families are distanced apart. The only way to interact in these special
days are on a few inches of screen. Ramadhan was not an exception.
In the last two years, Ramadhan came and go like
an uninvited guest. It came and people did not welcome it with so much joy. When
it went by, we did not even hold a proper farewell party. Restriction was
applied everywhere. Most of the mosque were closed or capacity reduced. Crowds
were banded. It was the most eerily quiet Ramadhan I had even seen in my life.
Fortunately, this year, hopes have bloomed. As the
covid-19 case gets lower and lower, Ramadhan is nearly normal. All the mosque
around the country is opened. No distance is required any more. Thus, all
Muslims can perform tarawih together in the mosque. Though wearing face cover
is still insisted and hygiene is highly encouraged.
Last night, Ramadhan officially
announced that it would start on Sunday, April 3 2022. We all are welcoming
Ramadhan with joy this year with most of the restriction are eased.
We pray and hope that Allah send His blessing through this Ramadhan and He will lift this covid-19 pandemic once and for all, so the world will heal soon, and our life will resume to a better normal.
May this Ramadhan correct all our errors as human being and be a better, wiser and kind person. May we become the human that Allah has created us and meant us to be.
Happy Ramadhan Kareem everyone!
