Peace, one and all…
As we approach the safe harbour of Ramadan, here are my latest catch of pearls – freshly drawn from the seas of blog. Enjoy…
- The Green Witch: Revenge
- House of Innana: The Personal Remains Political and Vice-versa
- The Manrilla Blog: The Presumption of Privilege
- Katib: Whoever Wants to Know His Own Station in the Sight of Allah
- Dharmakara’s Prayer: True Community
Ma’as salama,

RAMADAN MUBARAK TO EVERYONE TOMORROW
August 31, 2008 at 12:48 pm
When breaking the fast – Iftar
اللَّهُمَّ اِنِّى لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ امنْتُ [وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ] وَعَلَى رِزْقِكَ اَفْطَرْتُ
O Allah! I fasted for You and I believe in You [and I put my trust in You] and I break my fast with Your sustenance.
["wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu" is quoted in some books of knowledge - but not all, hence it is in brackets]
[Abu Dawud]
Transliteration:
Allahumma Inni laka sumtu wa bika amantu [wa alayka tawakkalto] wa ‘ala rizqika aftartu

Salaams dearest Abdur and Ramadan Mubarak to you and your loved ones. In reading “true community” and how we don’t choose who were thrown in with to deal with on a daily basis (although others can be a test to us, as we to them), it somehow reminded me of pilgrims circling Mecca, the center of the world…and everyone dressed in the same white garments; nobody standing out.
