0 Half A Way

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

17th of Ramadhan. It has been 17 days since the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed. And it will remain so for about 12 days ahead. The environment in this month is literally superb. Allah's mercy is flooding in the street. Everybody is just feeling happy for no reason. Doing charity is not as hard as in other time. Everything is made easy. It is a miracle given by the only One who can do miracle.

However since we are human, it is very normal to get tired and lose stamina. In a 10 km running, the toughest part is in the middle as you just finish a half backbreaking running and have to do it once again. Pain over pain. At that moment, what is most needed is to stay calm and slow down a bit to not get fainted in the middle of the road. The thing is not to stop or else it is almost over as you start walking, it needs a great effort to get back to the phase you had before.

Have someone to follow from behind. We do not want to ruin the efforts we have built from the day one. And surely we want to graduate with flying colors.

Do not stop. Keep running. Slowly but surely we will get it done.
