Ramadan Reflection - There is no perfect moment





If you wait for the perfect moment in Ramadan to bust out with the Qur'an, with the adhkaar or duaa card then

thats never gonna happen. The truth about life is that there is never going to be a moment u are totally free - no homework, no fatigue, no family obligations, no health issues, no frustrations, no cleaning, no disappointments .. life is full of unbearable situations one after another. Trying to challenge, change or improve what is clearly in our qadr only adds to our hopelessness and feelings of hurt. It only gives us excuse to procastinate our ibaadah. 



We have to worship Allah with ehsaan, accepting all the imperfections of life. Doing ibaadah in good times is easy - that is why Masajid are more packed for Eid Salah than for Taraweeh prayers. It takes real sincerity and genuine love, hope and fear in Allah that supersedes all other feelings and cravings to worship Allah in difficulty. 


This Ramadan, accept the pain and burn it as fuel for ibaadah.
