Ramadan has come, the month in which throats feel thirsty, hearts quench, intestines emptied, spirits filled, the body weakens, faith strengthens, movement slackens and faith becomes strong! Writes Adham Sharkawy
Ramadan has come, and you are heavy with sins and scars, repair the holes in your heart, force the brokenness of your soul, and knock on the door of your Lord with your might, and say to Him: Your abusive servant has returned to you, his misery is distance from you, and his back is divided by distances, O Allah: You have servants other than me, and I have no Lord but you You are my face, my direction, and the kiss of my soul, so open up to me the openings of those who know, accept me among those who repent, write me among those who stand up, and gather me with those who fast!
Ramadan has come, the month in which throats feel thirsty, hearts quench, intestines emptied, spirits filled, the body weakens, faith strengthens, movement slackens and faith becomes strong!
