Favourite Clip: Firstday Fast by Farid AlHadi: Motivational Videoclip about Fasting First Day
In just two days, inshaAllah, we will be welcoming an honorable guest- The Month of Ramadan.
And you know what? I am so excited by just the thought of it. I truly am!
Now, can I ask you a question?
What would be the first thing that crossed our mind by the very mention of Ramadan?
Yup, you got it- fasting!
And what would the first thing that we think about by the mention of the word fasting?
You got it again- absolutely NO food and drinks, right?
But of course, most of us understand that fasting is not merely refraining from eating food and drinking fluid, but, it also means refraining from uttering words that are non-useful, controling our gaze and; doing loads and loads of good deeds (among others of course), you agree?
Having said that, yesterday, I came across this funny videoclip about First Day of Ramadan which I feel had reflected so well on how many of us view this holy month of Ramadan.
Personally, although I think the lyrics is hilarious, it is full of advice, subhanAllah... and more importantly, it actually made me think and reflect.
So, I have decided to share it with you. And I hope you liked it as much as i do!
Firstday Fast by Farid AlHadi
Good? You liked it? I think he tells it as it is, you agree?
The fact of the matter is simple- fasting is so significant that our beloved Prophet Muhammad once said,
Narrated Abu Huraira : The Prophet said, '(Allah said), 'Every good deed of Adam's son is for him except fasting; it is for Me. and I shall reward (the fasting person) for it.' Verily, the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better to Allah than the smell of musk.' (Book #72, Hadith #811)
Subhanallah, imagine that my brothers and sisters.
Being a person who absolutely love the smell of musk, I cannot help but get very excited over the thought of having my mouth smell like musk as compared to the usual minty-smell!
SubhanAllah!
Exciting, isnt it?
So, let us all welcome this wonderful month of Ramadan with the standing ovation it truly deserves!
Let's!
