Subahanallah (Glory be to Allah). We are now in the last 3 days of Syawal. That means the Eid Fitr mood is fading away as the time goes by. I hope that everyone has a chance to finish 6 fasting days after Ramadhan. It is highly endorsed by Rasullallah in his hadith as follows:
"Ayyub (Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and companions) said, “Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days from Shawwal it is as if they fasted the entire year.” " ~[Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah]~
After the hustle and bustle of feting the festival for the whole month, our body can just take so much. It will start becoming worn out. So there will be a “consequence” we have to face right after that. As usual all the nice sugar, excess fat and extravagant food are not going anywhere. They tend to get accumulated in some notorious parts of our body. Here comes a big belly. That’s not a surprise. The surprise is, we question ourselves from where we get this ridiculous flap around our body. We pretend like we don’t know what we’ve done. Isn’t it great? (haha…)
In the last several months I have been struggling with preparations for my doctoral qualifying examination. Like a normal college student I have to climb the mountain, go down the hill, turn right and left just to get a grip to my undergrad materials. Not to mention how regret I am about how much time I wasted when I did my bachelor degree. What a nice surprise!!! With all the ups and downs that I have been going through, it really makes me burnt out and mentally jaded. I wish I can have a super power like a superman. Sigh!!!
