Subete wa boku no tameni…(Sebuah renungan akhir Ramadhan)

Akhir ramadhan telah tiba…and for me, this month has surely left me with some impressions, some of them are first timers, the others while not, still are worth while to remember and learn the lessons from.

It’s first time for me since I’m now living in Perth, making me experiencing fasting as an adult far from my family and relatives. It might sound lonely, but luckily, I can still feel the the nuance here as the muslim community in my campus is quite big. Hence, daily ramadhan activities can still be done like ifthar and tarawih.
Speaking bout the activities together, it did bring me some impressions. The fact that we muslims can unite together regardless of race, ethnicity and nationality means that we do posses a great potential as Allah SWT best people….if it were to be harnessed in the proper manner.That’s what I did think. Eventhough this kind of thought would still be long to realize, I do believe the seeds of this has been planted. Insya Allah the time will come soon for muslims to unite under one banner….

Through out the activities, I also was able to meet new friends and further strengthen my ties with those I already knew of. It sure is amazing how Ramadhan can bring us together..that’s why…I do hope that the ties of silaturahim would not wane of with the passing of Ramadhan this year. For keeping our ties with others sure brings life merrier and colorful. Not to mention since muslim’s are of one body, that also makes things more beautiful….

As for myself, I did achieve some targets. Finishing the Qur’an and also doing the tarawih each day. Even though I could have done more, I still its quite acceptable, especially if I take in the fact that there were many hurdles and disturbances that I faced during my fasting. Heaps of assignments, extra work hours and an unfir body at the beginning of the ramadhan were the major ones. As for assignments, it really didn’t matter as long I could manage my time properly, which I did do Alhamdulillah. More working hours…well…I kind of find this one as a mistake since I was supposedly gonna ask for this after Ramadhan. However, it accidently had a slip of tongue and ended up asking for more work hours during ramadhan and later.

The result was…sure I got extra money. But then, I ended up exhausting my body way beyond what expected to be able to handle. My body has lost a couple of weight without any comprehensive reason. End thing is…I’m now not feeling quite well as I’m feeling symptoms of flu (again). Well….i did start this ramadhan with an un fit condition. But I certainly do hope not to end it even worst…I guess the only thing I can do is to do more eating and rest as much as possible while trying to do some basic workout…just to keep my body from being stiff due to lack of exercise.

Ah yeah…remember the five blogs I wrote…Well yeah that was one things that I managed to overcome this ramadhan. Even though the conclusion for is still vague, at least I do know where to start to overcome those problems. Yang aq sndri paling suka adalah aq bsa kembali menemukan irama belajar setelah agak terganggu sjak pulkam yg terakhir. Dengan banyaknya tgs (and with a certain someone missing), it certainly able to force me concentrate more on my assignments and finishing it of in the best result that I can try.

As for passion, I believe I’ve gone back to Earth after experiencing some fly high’s this couple of months. It’s a nice thing to find something new, but if you feel that you’ve dreamt to much, that means you’ve gotta go back and taste Earth or else you’ll plunge dying…:P. Eniwei, I surely was able to defragment my mind that was a bit jumbled on which or which wasn’t reality these couple of month and therefore refinding my passion :D.

Secara singkat, Ramadhan ini telah membuat ku tersadar kembali akan realita hidup yang harus kujalani. Walo masih banyak hal yang tentunya harus kuperbaiki, aq sungguh berharap dan berniat, apa-apa yang telah kupelajari dan kujalani selama Ramadhan ini tidak hilang begitu saja dan terus dapat kulaksanakan secara istiqamah. It surely would be a hard thing to do since life is full of hurdles to begin with. But with consistency and prayers, Insya Allah I will find my way. Just remember to start things at a walking pace and speed things up steadily as u advance in life. I’m sure this way, I can better enjoy the fruits of my efforts rather than doing things all in once. Besides…its all for the sake of myself (subete wa boku no tameni…)
