i am an egyptian, but now i am in australia..
probably celebrating ramadan in egypt has been the best of all..
in egypt people get ready for ramada two weeks earlier by buying food and special dry fruits with their sugar taste to make for iftar ..
a couple of days before ramadan , u will find people hanging colourful lights everywhere in the sreets, these lights will be left open during the whole night .. so when u walk in the streets at night u will feel as if it during the day ..
well.. it's very safe to walk at night in the streets at any time even until 6a.m .. because lights are everywhere and people are going in the masjid and out of it ..
u will find egypt a lively place and lightening with colourful lights celebrating for ramadan .. " it's very wonderful, i really miss it "
after iftar, we hurry to pray maghrib prayers, then we get ready to go to the masjid for taraweeh prayers..
during the last ten days or ramadan when there is the prayers of " tahajood" we stay up late in the masjid for praying and we go back home in groups .. it's very lovely and nice ..
we also have sohor with everyone in the masjid.. everyone brings in food from home, and we all share it together ..
this is my second Ramadan in Melbourne, it's not very celebrating over here .. but it's cool with the family and in the masjid .. but i don't it's just normal without any preparations done
today was my first day in school since the hoildays.
no one knows yet that i am fasting only my muslim friends but soon they will know and thats when they will start hiding from me when their eating.
some teachers were wishing me a happy ramadhan and tomorrow i've got R.E and here were we will be talking about what we eat and blah blah my R.E teacher is very nice and is really nice to muslims infact she likes muslims girls more because were soo talented and errrrr u name them lol
today has been very bad for me i felt sick and i was dizzy thank god no teacher noticed.
but now am feeling abit better after i've read quran Alhamdullah but i am hungry so am keeping my self busy khayr inshallah.
wow this my first Ramadhan in here and am soo enjoying it.
Three simple rules in life:
1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place
iftaar is only me and my brother today, the rest of my family went visiting some reletives, my stomach's gotten use to fasting, *it doesnt complain anymore* walhamdulillah
Its 7:40 PM here right now, Isha/Taraweeh is at 9:30 bi idhnillah
Learn silence as you have learned speech.
Speech will guide you, and silence will protect you.
The mosque I went to for taraweeh today had a big courtyard, where the women could pray outside. The weather was gorgeous! It was a night with wispy clouds and a beautiful cool breeze, the moon is almost full. Between the raka'as I would just sit and stare at the sky, think. Lovely prayer.
I just came back from even more eid shopping and now have ended up with three different pairs of clothes to wear for eid!
lack of food means high tempers as demonstarted when my sis messed up the custard twice so i had to help out and my bro told her at iftaar that she needed an online tutorial to make it....and we all laughed, so she took a glass full of coke and chucked it over him, then burst into tears weired huh.
and now i have to make samosas, does anybody want some.
My heart, so precious,
I won't trade for a hundred thousand souls.
Your one smile takes it for free.Rumi
