The last 10 days of Ramadan are here and I feel like I am trying to reach out to some vast great truth inside me that seems just beyond my reach.
The last 10 days are the most blessed days of a most blessed month and I really hope I am able to make the most of them and gain as much reward and Mercy as possible from Allah.
Ramadan hasn't been as good for me as I hoped as I have missed a big chunk of it due to a throat infection - yep, another infection. I am hoping that,Insha'allah, my health will be much better after this Ramadan because of all the duas I have been making!
"Allahumma Innaka Afuwwun Thuhibbul Afuwa Fa'Fu Anni." This dua is especially relevent in the last ten days of ramadan. "O Allah! You are the eraser of sins and You love forgiveness. So please forgive my sins."
I think the last 10 days should be a particularly meditative and soul searching time for everyone. I am trying especially hard to think about my goals and what I want as well as what personal improvements I need to make in myself. I am trying to be as practical and realistic as possible in this respect - I don't want to be overly strict with myself and get carried away, rather I want realistic and atainable goals that I can adher to and achieve in the coming year and, Insha'allah, forever.
Meanwhile, I know Allah is hearing my prayers and I hope He answers them all Insha'allah.
"When Allah decreed the Creation He pledged Himself by writing in His book which is laid down with Him: My Mercy prevails over My Wrath" Hadith (Muslim; al-Bukhari)
