The End of Ramadhan
My body mass index is now at a desired 19.3, thanks to the holy month of Ramadhan. As the days go by, I feel rather heavy to say goodbye to this month. It has provided ample time for me to ponder on my life, a life that barely leaves me time to say thanks to the Creator, for all that He has given but taken for granted. Sometimes I ask myself if I have been a good servant to Him or at least met the minimum standard required to be a true Muslim. Have I done enough not only to benefit myself but also other people? Or have I been so blind and deaf to ignore the pleas and cries for help from the less fortunate? Have I been amassing material wealth by depleting empathy, sympathy, selflessness and things that really matter? I don't know but I am using this Ramadhan to start taking stock of my own life because I want to leave this world knowing I had done what I should before seeing Him face to face.
