Let's Stand Side by Side in Ramadan

By  Aya Medhat

We are all one Ummah regardless where we live.

Let's be practical.

Remember all your Family in your prayers BY NAME

Remember all your friends in your prayers BY NAME TOO

Make taa'at with your friends -gather to make Ramadan bags, to serve iftar for ma'edet Rahman, to recite Qur`an- any taa'at that will make you feel that you are not one but you are a part of a big nation standing next to each other to serve when needed.

Invite as many friends as you can, distribute iftar meals in train and metro stations or anywhere where people can't find anyone to serve iftar for them.

Make a list of all your friends' names and distribute their names along the month to call or meet them.

Call your friends at fajr & tarweeh prayers, to go with each other. Gather your friends to have iftar with each other

Smile at every Muslim you meet in the Masjed, just keep reminding yourself before you go to pray, that you will smile to all.

Remember ALL MUSLIMS in your prayers, I mean it, ALL MUSLIMS; just take a few seconds to recognize that you are part of a Big Ummah spread around the world.

START IT LIKE THIS

Pray for Muslims in your street, zone, city, country, move to other countries (Palestine - Iraq – Indonesia – Bosnia – Chechnya – China –Pakistan and so on…)

You'll get amazed, all these people are your Brothers & sisters. And to tell you the truth there are two situations (I'm sure everyone goes through daily) before which you can remember all Muslims.

1. Once you sit to eat your iftar meal after a long sunny day, remember there are Muslims everywhere that are not having the same quality of food you have

SO PRAY FOR THEM BEFORE YOU EAT.

2. Once you go to sleep at night after a long tiring day, remember there are Muslims everywhere that are not having the same quality of shelter you have

SO PRAY FOR THEM BEFORE YOU SLEEP

Now if you finished reading this, this means that you have thousands of gifts granted to you by ALLAH
