Ramadhan : Day Five Iftar @ Mine
I have invited 12 people or so to my house for iftar today. I see this as a priviledge to be able to serve my guests, and provide then with food and drink to break their fast. I have never ever done this before because I never was so involved in my religion before…plus I did not have the facility to do so.
Ramadhan : Day Three and Four…
I did not get a chance yesterday to blog on day three separately, so I decided to combine day four as well. Ramadhan continues to go well in terms of fasting, its amazing how I had thought that I will find it difficult to do - but my Allah (SWT) makes it very easy for me.
Ramadhan : Day Two…
Today was the second fast. Mashallah, it went very well interms of keeping away from food and drink - but was feeling abit more tired today. Nevertheless, no complains at all. Allah (SWT) is too amazing… when someone fasts because they want to - and because they know it will please Allah (SWT), He makes it so so easy for them. I remember when I used to fast because I had to - the fasts used to be so hard, and I used to count down hours before I could break my fast….not any more for now.
Ramadhan : Day One…

What a small sacrifice He asks us to do - and most people think - its a difficult thing. Looking around at everything that Allah (SWT) has provided for us all year around - is this not the least we can do to show our appreciation? I think so…whats interesting however, is that what He has asked us to do is only for our own good and benefits us - making

Congregation Prayer : A Funny, But Sad Story
On Saturday, I was teaching at Madrasah. So I was at Mosque and it was time for Zohr Prayer in congregation. Anyways, I prepared and did my Wudhu and while the Adhan was being recited, I decided to pray a 2 rakat prayer. However, what I realised was that I had 2 leather items on me. My belt and my wallet.
IUS Summer Camp : A Review
For the first time, I attended and participated in an Islamic Camp. Only recently did I even find out that such camps exist - but im glad I did. Several other communities organise such camps and I have heard that they are really good for spiritual upliftment amongst other things such as team building, giving a sense of brotherhood and bring together muslims in the way of Allah in a way that is fun, yet spiritual.
Getting Bored : What It Leads To…
Those who have nothing to do with their lives are the same people who spend most of their time spreading rumours and falsehood, mainly because their minds are devoid of beneficial thoughts.
A Partial Lunar Eclipse : Time for Salah
Today the 7th of September 2006 is a Partial Lunar Eclipse. As all muslims know, when this happens Namaz-e-Ayat becomes Waajib on all muslims. Fortunate for me, the time for this salah was set around 1915 and 2037 and I was back in time from work to recite it.
