Ramadan Dia 23: Anger

[akilanajmah]

The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, "Anger corrupts faith in the same way that vinegar destroys honey."

Had a birthday this week-- got lots of love but still... felt some sort of way. Didn't hear much from people I was expecting something from, well, nothing from some people I was expecting almost anything from. It's easy, when you're fasting, to be angry and short tempered. But that's the point too-- it isn't just to bring to fullness the realisation that we're blessed with such bounty, but also the realisation that we're mean to be a blessing and act as blessed even when our tummies are temporarily rumbly. 

Bismillah, alhamdulliah.

This, btw, is the first and last time I wore this sweater. It immediately got black hair dye dripped onto it. Well, maybe I'll dye it some other color. I can't remember if I bought this scarf at Hilal Plaza or if it was thrifted.
