Ahlan wasahlan Ramadhan

This picture can tell thousands story and I put this here for us to remember why Allah asks us to fast in a month full of bless, Ramadhan. 

He wants us to feel the same way like this child did so that we will never waste our food and rezeki when there are people all over the world starving even for a drop of clean water when we are blessed with lots of food and drinks, much more than we need. Pity them.

They are suffering yet we are still complaining about the bad taste of food we have with full stomach and will end up forgetting to say Alhamdulillah. Please forgive our ignorant Ya Rabb 

Gambar ini telah memenangi hadiah Pulitzer (diambil di Sudan). Seekor burung pemakan bangkai  menunggu dengan sabar kanak-kanak yang sedang berjuang untuk bertahan hidup untuk dijadikan mangsanya. Orang yang mengambil gambar ini, Kevin Carter telah membunuh diri tidak lama setelah menerima hadiah Pulitzer tersebut (1994).

His words taken from his diary :

"Dear God, I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests. I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for granted. Please don't break.. keep on forwarding to our friends on this good day.. Let's make a prayer for the suffering in anywhere any place around the globe and send this friendly reminder to others; think & look at this...when you complain about your food and the food we waste daily........."

Sometimes I wish things were how they used to be, because those days meant so much to me. First Ramadhan without ayah reciting long du'a for bukak puasa and sahur, there are emptiness here and there T__T
