Ramadan Challenge: #1 Yassie "Tears of the Imam"

"Tears of the Imam"

The 6th day of Ramadan..

and I do my daily stuff ...

Ramadan is the month were everyone gets busy...

Cooking, Eating, some reading the quran, some a bit lazy..

The problem is Ramadan is the month were you can start all over again..

And doing things that are usually forgotten with support of the Shaytaan..

The 6th day of Ramadan....

and I do my daily stuff...

Yesterday I stayed at home...

and the day before as-well...

A few minutes walking to the masjid made me lazy to be wet...

44 degrees and the sun had left...

What if we would fast from dawn to dusk..

Running away from heat but how about Hell-fire when it burns each tuft...

The 6th day of Ramadan...

And I still do my daily stuff...

After a long fight with myself about how hot it is outside...

I heard the athaan thrilling in my ears, that means I lost that fight...

Finally arrived alhamdullilah ,eventho I missed Isha-prayer...

Prayed as I was done minutes before the Taraweeh prayers...

Watched the clock ,standed up and said Allahu-Akbar with the Imam...

Eyes focused on the floor with alot of stuff illusioning in front of me..I know it's haraam...

The Imam recite's the quran slowly untill he reaches to these verses..

45. "Those who would hinder (men) from the path of Allah and would seek in it something crooked: they were those who denied the Hereafter."

46. Between them shall be a veil, and on the heights will be men who would know every one by his marks: they will call out to the Companions of the Garden, "peace on you": they will not have entered, but they will have an assurance (thereof).

47. When their eyes shall be turned towards the Companions of the Fire, they will say: "Our Lord! send us not to the company of the wrong-doers."

48. The men on the heights will call to certain men whom they will know from their marks, saying: "Of what profit to you were your hoards and your arrogant ways?

49. "Behold! are these not the men whom you swore that Allah with His Mercy would never bless? Enter ye the Garden: no fear shall be on you, nor shall ye grieve."

50. The Companions of the Fire will call to the Companions of the Garden: "Pour down to us water or anything that Allah doth provide for your sustenance." They will say: "Both these things hath Allah forbidden to those who rejected Him."

What happened....?

The Imam burst in tears and with a feared voice he keeps reciting..

I closed my eyes flashing those verses again in my mind...

Tears just rolled down more and more each time I hear his voice...

Why that ...?

The Imam and women around me each with another book of deeds..

But me listening to those verses and thinking would I be rejected with my hoards ??

Would I be with the Companions of the Garden ?

When my book is closed will I be forgiven or forgotten ?

Allahu Akbar...

The 6th of Ramadan...

And now I remember my daily stuff..
