Eid Mubarak

Yes, I know I'm late since Eid was 2 days ago ;)
I've been so caught up in re-igniting the fast-gear for my studying that I forgot about blogging :( My exam is in about 2 weeks and I need to give these last 2 weeks my 200% for this final stretch!

However, I do want to stop and take a moment to write about the amazing month that just ended! I don't think I remember having such a wonderful Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr ever! It was great being home for the entire month since I was able to spend time with my family, fast without worrying about having to go outside in the heat, finish reciting the Quran (with some help), go to the mosque every day, volunteer at the mosque during iftar, and spend the night in prayer on the 27th night of Ramadan! Couldn't have asked for a better time!!

I am so happy to say that I did not let my Ramadan go to waste!
I have learnt so much in this month which I am going to implement in my life for the entire year inshAllah!

I know I can wake up to pray Fajr.
I know I can make time to recite the Quran every day.
I know how to be patient.
I know how to appreciate what I get.
I know how not to judge people.
I know how to control my anger.
I know how to control my food cravings.
I know any action to help someone (whether big or small) makes a difference.
I know to be happy :)

I pray to Allah to accept everyone's prayers for this blessed month and to forgive our shortcomings.
I shall miss the festive atmosphere of Ramadan and pray that I remain in good health and ability to see the next one!
