Ramadhan is knocking our doors!

The title is a literal translation of the quote in Arabic, and I love it!
I remember that saying in Arabic, as kids.. We really thought Ramadhan is a person who's going to visit us.
 The month is so spiritual I love everything about it. Everything suddenly has a different flavor, everything somehow feels different when it's all the same!
Thank god [al-hamdulillah] we're alive, to live another holly month and accomplish what we couldn't previously, and try to be better people!


To those who don't know what Ramadhan is:

it's a holly month to muslims, where we have to fast from certain timing to a certain timing, fast from sins, food, and drink.
Let's say in Oman, the morning prayer is somewhere at 4.30-5.00 AM, so that's when fasting starts, and then it's broken by 18.30-19.00 when the maghrib prayer comes to time.
I would recommend [ foreigners] to try living Ramadhan in an Arabic [or a muslim country in that case] country, and you'll know what I mean!

My message to everyone out there:
I have been seeing tweets prior to Ramadhan with people writing stuff like;
' now that certain person would pretend to be religious just because it's ramadhan'
'the religious messages would be sent from this person, when did s\he become religious?'
and such tweets, messages, Facebook statuses etc..

I'd kindly ask you to stop such actions, and ask people around you to stop such messages as well. 
It's a holly month, you get double the blessings you get in normal days, so why not encourage everyone to do good deeds instead of making fun of them. 
Who knows? Maybe those people who 'suddenly' turn religious in Ramadhan are slowly trying to get in to the right track? The right path?
Instead of mocking them and making fun of them, show them appreciation.
After all, we have to agree that the judgement is for god, so quit the mocking and the joking and help others into being better people.
Reminder: Our religion is all about peace, love and care. So kindly, stop giving others' bad image about us.

Some people would argue: no, it's all the same. They're all good for one month and then they're back to old habits.
Again, you're not the one to judge here, we make mistakes and flaws, we sometimes lose the right track but you never know that sudden change in heart that happens during the month, maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but some 'year' that will change, wouldn't it?

Think about what I wrote, and spread the word.
