I was thinking about it. About how fast it came and went.
About whether I did enough to leverage from the holiest of months: the month of Allah SWT.
Did I strive enough to please Allah?
Did I succeed in fighting against my Nafs (Self)?
No, I know I could have done much better.
But I also know that I did better than last year, Alhamdulillah!
Dear Allah, I hope I will live long enough to experience another Ramadhan.
And continue to gain your Love and Blessings, insha Allah, if I so deserve it.
For now I will try to 'istiqomah' (be steadfast) after the month-long training of self-restraint and good deeds, with your help O Allah. Please give me strength to overcome the Nafs and be a better Muslim. O Lord of the Worlds, please make me your beloved believer, do not allow any distraction come in way in my pursuit of gaining Your Love and the love & Shafa'at of your Beloved Ones.
Ameen ameen ya Rabbal 'alamin.
