..Ramadan's reflection..

..once again that night he was at the mosque...he clasped his hands in a doa..a doa he repeated from the last Ramadan..

..his cup no longer runneth over, he knew not when it will runs dry..but until then..
.
''O Allah...

..I thanked Thee for the time You have given me..the last Ramadan was Your Blessings to me..and here I am at the door of another...let me in in, Lord, into this month..that I may savour it in peace and in harmony...with my family and Muslim brethren...and forgive me my sins..

..grant me the will to be charitable that I might seek from You Your bounty.... the grace to overlook and forgive others' faults..that You may overlook and forgive mine..

...let me be magninamous that I may seek from You Your blessings..

..and as I rested my body from food during the fast, rest also my mind from dwelling too much on worldly pursuits..fill my nights with Your Light and my days with Your Guidance...

.. accept all the little deeds that I have done..that I may strived to do more..

..above all, O Allah, accept my repentance.. I have commited great sins..and You are The Great Forgiver..."

..and again that night, he raised his hands in prayer..that Allah may grant him the space and the time for him to savour yet another Ramadhan...InsyaAllah...God Willing...

Di keheningan malam, sambil menadah tangan penuh pasrah, menyelinap rindu pada yg satu... betapa kerdilnya kita ni pakmat.

Salam ramadhan semoga dipenuhi keberkatan.

Heard on the radio as I was driving to work this morning; that people spent an average 18 minutes each day thinking & regretting their past. And then in my head, I tot; wouldn’t it be better if they spend that time looking towards the future & see whether one can contribute to make it a better place for all.

Hey Pakmat, u played this Robbie William song a while ago & just to reiterate some of its lyrics;

Go easy on my conscience
'Cause it's not my fault
I know I've been taught
To take the blame

Rest assured my angels
Will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
I'm in pain

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can
To be a better man

Selamat berpuasa sir,

Tommy

Unknown said...

..hi, Tommy,
..after awhile, time heals the shame and I will grow through this pain, for, indeed, I'm doing all I can to be a better man..and I think, at 65, time has healed most of my shame..:)...well, I can look at myself in the mirror better now..but you are right, of course..no point wasting these precious minutes regretting..cheers..

Unknown said...
