Looking back at the events of today feel like watching a movie.
Visiting the extended family with gifts of dates and catching up on stories.
Smiles and laughter- the spirit of Ramadhan
Children running in the park- all excited for the coming celebrations
Reacquainting with the first juz- familiar grooves beckoned
The silvery dust of Taraweeh, among old travellers
The victory of having the first juz and a quarter accomplished
And then
Just when your popcorn becomes more interesting than the plot....
The Cavernous Split
Faces filled with horror
Phone lines vibrating with shock
A plummetting realization
The "Was Wasa" have struck
May God (Glory be to Him) save us all
**Update**
At 4am on the windy morning on the 1st of September, the siren announcing the beginning of the blessed month of Ramadhaan rang through the streets of Laudium. The evil whisperings of discord were momentarily silenced in the rush of housewives to fry express rotis at last minute notice. For now the Ummah is engaged in the usual riffery of 8 raka'ah duas and beards, ankles and household furniture. And so may it carry on. I am not looking forward to a sequel.

Last night's happenings certainly put a damper on the festive atmosphere. We don't even have a semblance of unity anymore.
You've captured it all so well.
btw the text colour in the side bar is fusing into the background... a modification there perhaps...?
do love the new template.
Khadija thats just on opera mini, on normal internet its awesome, not as awesome as mine, but hey she tried.
As for other thing, I was in the dark, but it seems I am happier for it.

ws Aasia it's from surah naas- Min-sharril Waswaasil khan Nass, --From the evil of the sneaking whisperer,'Allathii yuwas-wisu fii suduurin Naas--Who whispers in the hearts of mankind, (i.e. shaytaan).
I felt shaytaan's whisperings of discord and disunity infiltrated the hearts of those who wanted the moon to be split. Happy endings ;)

i wish you well nooj over this holy month
