Ramadhan al-Mubarraq

I wondered yesterday if it is correct, grammatically that is, to say "celebrate" Ramadhan ~ as the word celebrate somehow portrays parades and fireworks and parties that do not signify what Ramadhan should be.

But then again I thought, why not "celebrate" Ramadhan? After all, Ramadhan is a magnificent month ~ where blessings are abundant and forgiveness from Allah aplenty. Promises for countless returns of deeds done. Arent these more than enough reasons to celebrate the blessed month?

So let's celebrate Ramadhan. Let's let the spirit of the month rejuvenate our iman and intensify our 'amal. Let's engulf in the promised rewards. Let's embrace the glad tidings of Ramadhan.

Come, celebrate Ramadhan. The "new" you awaits at the end of this holy month, Insya'allah.
