It's 1:34 pm in Qatif, everybody-except my mother - in our house is asleep. Ramadan is not about sleeping till Maghreb prayer time, or watching silly tv-series day and night, I think this holy month should be about:
+ Reflecting time to evaluate ourselves over the past 9 months .
+ finding spiritual guidance and getting away from materialistic life most are swamped in.
+ repenting for the sins committed throughout the year.
+ re-bonding with holy Quran which was left untouched on the shelves most of the time .
+ sharing and donating, whether its money to the poor, time with the family or effort to help the community .
+ Ramadan usually coincides with the hottest month in the Hijri calendar, this month was chosen by Allah for many reasons, one of them is for the rich -with all their privileges- to feel the need of the poor who can't afford them, to remind them they are equal before god and everybody is judged by their deeds not by their bank accounts.
