Ramadan Day 4: #Alhamdulillah for Allah’s Blessings and Mercies. Despite big calamities and trials falling upon us, it is a beautiful feeling to seek out the small mercies and blessings. Yes – my family, husband and I have suffered a huge loss – there is no doubt about it. And Yet I thank Allah for providing the small gems of blessings, be it my own health and physical well being, the opportunity to see the love of family and friends, the chance to seek Allah’s forgiveness, and even not being able to fast. Despite not fasting now, I am blessed to be given the opportunity to do other forms of worship that I may normally neglect (Lots of various Duas, Tasbih, Salawat and reading the translation of the Quran). Even this is a blessing. The lesson I take from this is – amongst the chaos and rubble, the cries and the anguish – look out for the green shoots of life that are slowly  blossoming. These green shoots are the blessings we must focus on.
