Ramadan countdown 1

People in Canada are familiar with the Little Mosque on the Prairie show that was quite a success on Canadian television. I’m going to play on the words to get a welcoming remark/resolution/goal for Ramadan.

Here it is:

Little Mosque in the heart.

Sound familiar? Think about it… we all complain and hate to see our masjids empty after Ramadan especially they are filled with eager energetic worshipers in the holy month. What happens after it is over? Others will provide a better answer than me here. The only hint I give is we are part of the problem when we realize the phenomenon yet we don’t participate in the solution. Silent actions are more effective than talk. So let’ make the mosque big in our hearts by being more present in it. Let’s try for Fajr and ‘Isha (I won’t mention taraweeh since most people will go for them when they can although it is interesting to note that praying obligations in the masjid is more rewarding! Not a discouragement just to get our priorities right).

Since some sisters might read this, make sure you pray in congregation at home if you are unable to go with your husbands at anytime. Or wake them up and push them out the door :) “See you after salah honey.. tomorrow’s iftar will only be salad if…”

O Masjids around the world I’m sure you will be more happy if us Muslims realize that you are more beautiful in Ramadan but you are still beautiful all year long. So we hope to be consistent guests who are not only users who come for a favour only. Please accept our apologies. We know you are generous hosts. Hope we don’t let you down this month.
