It was fascinating for me to see that a religious (and Islamic!) blog post can actually win an award. <br /><br />For me, when I hear of such award thingies, my expectations go wayyy high, and I was actually slightly disappointed at the post ^_^. In any case, I am an agnostic, so perhaps I did not appreciate your points either, I don't doubt a religious person would perhaps find such more moving. Congratulations anyway.<br /><br />I have been browsing theough some of your other posts and you seem like a Bangladeshi Eteraz in the making. Suggestion? Do try to address more current world Islamic issues including Iraq and the sectarian conflict there. Best of luck!Monwarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00025857200153438398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258.post-44785703147638445522006-12-13T12:01:00.000-05:002006-12-13T12:01:00.000-05:00congrats and hats off for winning this!

I felt the same way when they ended at Taric.. it is just so incredibly moving when they end and go back to the beginning of the Quran. <BR/><BR/>I too wish I had done more this Ramadan.. don't we always feel this way? I went to mosque as often as I could but I KNOW I could have gone more.. <BR/><BR/>I believe they are finishing the Quran at Al Falah tonight so I'm going to go there.

I hope the sister is given the <I>tawfik</I> to deal with her loss and may Allah ease her hardships. Your quote on Lalon Shai reminded me of the verses in the Quran about those who hoard wealth and Allah says indeed those who exchange the Hereafter for this world are indeed amongst the biggest losers.<BR/><BR/>Farah - I hope your wish comes true, sorry about the khatam, but there will be another one, iA, and many more to come.<BR/><BR/>Sohail - just for that comment, mister, I am going to publish our discussion on the Pretty Bengali Women Theory after Eid.

Amin to your du'a on living to see another Ramadan.<BR/><BR/>On the note of the deceased brother, let me share with you the anecdote of a sister here, two days into Ramadan: she was hit by a car while she was walking on the sidewalk (that's right - she wasn't even crossing the road). She flew some distance, suffered multiple fractures in all four appendages, broke a clavicle, but Alhamdulillah survived a concussion.<BR/><BR/>First thought that came to mind: "what was the driver <I>thinking</I>? Turns out the driver <I>had had a heart attack in the car moments before he lost control and hit her</I>!! If that's not a freak accident, I don't know what is. <BR/><BR/>Why I mention this: the sister is still unable to sit up, and is on complete bed rest. I doubt she has recovered her ability to recite the Qur'an, let alone to pray even sitting down...<BR/><BR/>We are travellers on Earth - there's no guarantee we'll be here tomorrow. Even if we are, there's no guarantee we'll have the time or faculties to engage in the 'ibadah that we may be leaving today for immediate worldly things...<BR/><BR/><I>Lalon Shai</I> - the Bengali mystic, sums this up perfectly in Bangla: <I>Baki-r lobh-e nogod pawna ke chhare ei bhubone?</I> Rough translation: Who is it who sacrifices the cash (immediate) transactions on this world in favor of credit receipts (in the Hereafter)?<BR/><BR/>Let us all remember the ummah in our prayers.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05128688095068202912noreply@blogger.com
