the fasting month

i am grateful that i am still alive to witness again the month of Ramadan also known as the fasting month. this is the month where all the Muslims in the world fast for a whole month.
.the whole idea of this month is to let us be aware of the suffering others face especially those in poverty hit countries and also to show how grateful we are that we are blessed with all the necessities that we have. this month also is the month all about sacrificing. as Muslims, we must a sacrifice our time to do additional prayer such as the tarawih prayers. sacrifice the food that we can eat in daytime. sacrifice our sexual pleasures.
this year i hope that i can be a good Muslim by doing all the things that i should do as a Muslim during the fasting month which means minimal swearing, less eating, less procrastinating in term of prayers time, do more charity be nice to people and not to forget paying a very close attention to my studies. yes studies even that is counted as being a good Muslim.

As usual, as the month of Ramadan approaches, i can feel the freshness in the air, the enlightenment, the willpower to do good, to study and to perform my prayers with more concentration.
hopefully god will give me the strength for me to perform whatever HE(god) ask me to and concentrate on my studies..
