 3:01 PMRamadhan is finally here, Alhamdulillah. Not gonna give me up, not gonna let me down. Let's get back to fitrah. 
Ever since I left madrasah, there is one particular phenomenon that really bugs me. I call it the Ramadhan Effect on Prayer Rooms. During Ramadhan, you will see new faces in the prayer room. Faces that you never knew existed in the building. Just yesterday, I went to the prayer room at the place I'm working at. I saw more than 5 new faces whom, I got to know, has been working there for quite some time. 
Similarly during my training days and during my JC years, 2 Safs became 10 Safs. Prayer rooms became congested. Toilet queues started to lengthen.  
Yes, Alhamdullilah. G double O D J O B Good job, Good job. It's a good thing. 
BUT. The question arises when Ramadhan ends. Faces disappear, Safs disappear, and the lively prayer room once again become a forgotten place, like Facebook. (well at least to me) 
So let this be a reminder to myself and you guys. 
Be a Muslim. Do not be a Ramadhan Muslim. 
Wallahua'lam. |
