As we draw near to the end ……

As we draw near the end of Ramadan I feel as if it has been one of the hardest ever and whilst this would be easy to blame on events happening to Gaza it isn’t the reason ive struggled.

This Ramadan has brought me closer to Allah then I have ever felt and not in a Joyful dancing about way as many feel during ramadan but in a deeper more spiritual way and through that closeness has been a breaking down of self and a reconnecting to my soul.

I realised how much I struggled this ramadan with my nafs and oddly with the opinion of others and above all how none of it truly matters, I had so many realisations some big and some small but the main one being that this life is simply a means to an end, with that end being the akhirah, which has made me focus less on material wealth and more towards spiritual health, it brought me to a place where I now look closer at my own heart and my own sins and my own path ahead to the one place we all return

To Him
