ramadhan's environment

assalamualaikum,

alhamdulillah we have reached the middle of ramadhan, it is a blessing from Allah we are able to fast. Ramadhan is full with fadhilat and you can also gain pahala easily. as a reminder to me and to you all, please take full advantage of the Holy month of Ramadhan because wallahuakhlam it might be your last one.

as a muslim we shud be really happy and celebrate ramadhan more than syawal. it is sad to see that especially in Malay countries where hari raya is celebrated bigger than ramadhan. what is sad is that we tend to spend more on unnecessary things in ramadhan for hari raya. buying new furnitures, more than one baju kurung... u know what i mean. as if our religion is teaching us to be materialistic. not only this, hari raya songs are like everywhere.. and this was the 2nd day of ramadhan.

once i was told by my MALAY teacher i think when i was in my primary 6, he told about life in Ramadhan during the old days. he said during the day.. every masjid will read the Quran on the speaker for the daylight and from this u can imagine u can hear Quran recital everywhere.. MasyaAllah.. but now you can only hear terawih which is only during the night. and this is like the whole of ramadhan. but now it is just sad really sad...

i would like the tradition to continue... atleast we will not hear music that will give headaches and lovy duvy stuff.. yucks.. that makes us forgot about Allah.
