{ASSIIUM Research Team - #ramadhanbooster 12} *Assalamualaykum everyone! Let us pause and ponder upon the opportunity given to have met Ramadhan again for this might be our last. May we be guided InsyaAllah* If Not in Ramadhan then When? Ruzky Aliyar If not in Ramadhan then when will you begin to see? That the life you live is like an ephemeral tree. A seed sown, cultivated, beautiful to see, Yet soon to be withered, dead, enclosed by soil and sea. If not in Ramadhan then when will you open your eyes? Catch a glimpse of reality as time flies. Realise this life is not sugar, spice, and everything nice; Rather patience and gratitude during lows and highs. If not in Ramadhan then when will you cleanse your heart? Every deep dark corner, a poisonous dart. When will you feel remorse, seek forgiveness, away from sins depart? When will you beg your Lord to soften your heart? If not in Ramadhan then when will you lower your gaze? Teach yourself that something much better awaits. When will you realise that your whims and desires have left you in a daze? When will you take action and dust off the alluring dunya-haze? If not in Ramadhan then when will you free yourself? From the fetters that you have bound yourself. When will it be that you embrace your self? Fulfill your purpose, worship your Lord, redeem yourself? If not in Ramadhan then when will you befriend the Book of Allah? Understand, internalize, and memorise the Words of Allah. Embrace it – mind, body, and soul. Act upon it and you will never fall. If not in Ramadhan then when will you turn to your Lord? Completely, happily, willing, and strong. When will you remember Him and race towards Him? When will you truly yearn to be with Him?
