It is sad isn't it. Guess we should yearn for the next Ramadan, insh Allah we all live long enough to take part next year... I must say this year's Ramadan is a unique experience (lesser social interaction in a physical sense at the masjid although members of the usual congregation were on the Masjid's whatsapp group and we had some local masjids facilitate live youtube streaming of maghrib and therawi prayers), a period that stands out from the rest of the Ramadan's that I have taken part in the past 3 decades... at least...
Why upset?.... if anything... as each year passes especially this year with its new set of circumstances, some of us would have felt more closer towards our deen. Yes Ramadan is ended but the end makes us realise we need to keep the flow going for the rest of the year. We should yearn and strive to not lose focus on it when it isn't Ramadan.... no excuse not to anyway at the moment, especially when travel is restricted and some of us have no job.
Be assured and have conviction though that your prayers in the past (holy) month, especially your prayers on laylatul qadr (nights) would have benefited the next 12 months of your life where your journey and predestination has been reviewed and set by Allah swt, off course we prayed for it to be in our favour in regards to our affairs.... (for all resolve and for all to be blessed)... have faith that Allah responds to fulfill our needs ..... Ameen.
Allah Swt knows whats best for us, even if things don't go our way, keep the faith no matter what though ..... right?
