Ramadan Reflections: Preparing Iftar, Shopping Time & Nature’s Serenity 🌙🌿

Today the weather had become so good that after the Sehri prayer I did not feel bad at all that I went to sleep and I sat on the lawn and recited the Holy Quran and recited the entire Tasbeeh. Then as the morning progressed, the sun came out and the weather became so good. The moon in front looked so beautiful at that time too.

And when I started taking pictures of it, my effort was to capture it as clearly as the moon was looking in the clear sky. At the same time, birds also came there and as soon as I clicked the picture, they were also captured. I like my picture so much. It is so close to my heart. You can see how much beauty is in this picture.

After that, we got up early so that we could leave the market before the noon prayer, because after that we also had to prepare for iftar, because some guests had come to our house today.We went to the market. We were buying some block curry and some gifts. When we went to the market, there was so much rush and we were all fasting. The heat was so intense.

There was so much rush everywhere in the market. Some shops had closed and some children had come with their mothers to buy clothes. Everyone was preparing for Eid. There was a lot of rush outside every shop. There was hustle and bustle everywhere. Every shop was busy. Every child was buying their own things. They had a very nice smile on their face.

Yes, I went to a shop. There was a lot of delicious salt, boxes of panipuri, and some nuts, etc. They had prepared packets of everything like that, and they also had the tamarind that is roasted today. I only took a packet of salt and panipuri from here so that I could try it at home because this shop had everything, food and drink, crockery, gifts, and even stationery for children.

It looked so cute, it was the one with pearls and the one that was made on top of it and the ones that were attached to it, I thought it was the cutest because it had tops and colors too. I bought it for my little cousin because she likes such things very much. I often give gifts to my little ones because it is only by giving them these small gifts that we can make them happy by giving them a nice surprise and every child likes this thing.

After finishing the market, we had come home quickly because we had bought everything we needed, including crockery and other things. Without wasting any time, I quickly offered Zuhr prayers and read the Holy Quran. After that, I immediately went to the kitchen. I had already prepared everything because most of the guests who were staying at our house today were children and they like these roll samosas very much.

I had already frozen such packets before Ramadan because it becomes very easy during Ramadan. I had made these packets and more today too in small quantities because I was feeling less than before. I had to prepare them too and since I was anticipating the time for Iftar, I had prepared everything and I had also started frying them because when we have already stored such things, we do not have any problems at the last minute.

I had made many delicious things for Iftar but I didn't get time to click pictures but I had made this special yogurt with my mama and nano's recipe and I had taken pictures of it. Everyone liked it so much. I had made this yogurt myself at home with gram flour and the garnish I had on top was pomegranate and tamarind chutney that my mama made at home. People used to eat some fried items during Iftar but the elders don't eat such things so I had prepared such side dishes for them.

After finishing each task, we sat with the guest for some time and when they all left, I prayed the Isha prayer because I was very tired. I prayed the Isha prayer, prayed the Tarawih prayers and after that I recited the Holy Quran and recited the daily prayers and today my day was so much better and calmer. I prayed a lot to Allah Almighty and thanked Allah Almighty that everything was managed so well and everything was done very well.

At last I am inviting @suboohi , @max-pro ,@ahsansharif, @safdarali and @sadaf02 for taking part in this contest.
