It is fair for the entire human population located on this planet to make each month of the year a different experience for different people living in different parts of the world. Depending on the Hijri calendar, this is a time of the year where there is a chance to wipe away all the bad deeds and gain the good. Such times are especially valuable to scholars to speak to people about their preparations to be winners eventually. News are carried by the young more than the older, all with happiness and joy about precious days that visit us like guests once a year; spreading love, hope and joy. Those who feel that it is a heavy duty speak with shame and wish no one will hear them say, ” if only had it been postponed”.
Last night was a bless for all; quite a few are not comfortable, but it matters less because they simply do not care, and their belief that they are obliged to do it is weak, or nonexistent rather. Last night people took a step forward; getting closer to God with their prayers, and closer to each other with smiles, blesses, gifts, and visits. Love spreads. It is the only thing that would be smelled, or seen; hearts and souls sense only love.
Even if it was markets and shops that change the décors of the place to fulfill their desire to make profit in such days by selling what people desire, such decorative tables put people in a mood of change, and prepare them for the morning of every day throughout the month. It is three in the morning, there is active movement in the streets, surprisingly to those that have a habit of getting up at such times to pray. However, this is no surprise in such days. Questions rise in this period of time; why? Why people head to worship places now?! Well, those are days of acceptance, days of prayers, days of forgiveness; it is an opportunity, and opportunities are there to be advantaged.
Back to their homes from the morning prayers, it is still dark, and there is still time; some sleep, and some wipe the dust off the holy book and read it until it is time to go to work or school. The sun rises and starts to shine with it golden rays that colour the air, it is summer time and it is hot. Some people spend their day sleeping-waiting. Throughout the days of summer, water consumption is higher than in normal days, but today is quite different; no one is seen eating, drinking, or smoking. All restaurants are closed, and if any is opened no one approaches them.
There are no policemen on the streets with sticks forbidding drinking and eating in public! But hey, even at home there is no one preparing for lunch! Is this some kind of punishment? People are hungry and thirsty, and that’s quite clear on their faces. However, by the end of the day and towards sunset, wandering in the streets all kinds of food are smelled, all people are cooking, the restaurants start working, and people are out shopping, but still no one would put anything in their mouth.
Very thin. What is left from the sun is a very thin line that is barley seen, with absolutely no movement on the streets which is very unusual. Absolutely no noise, no cars, no passersby and all of a sudden something calls with loud speakers from every corner and it is all the same words spoken out at once, and suddenly they all stop. About half an hour passes before people start getting out of their homes; children are heard with joyful voices yelling and playing and at that same time fireworks start lightening the sky, and so on goes the month and from today starts the countdown. That’s the one two three of the holy month.
