The Blessed and Joyful Ramadhan

 

 

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!
