A time to repent

What better time to ask forgiveness if not during the month of Ramadhan. A month that promises a lot of 'pahala' if one takes the initiative to perform as much ibadah as possible... especially the last 10 days of Ramadhan. I for one, am really looking forward toward this month because it is a month where all Muslims perform the 3rd duty in the 5 pillars of Islam..and of course the Tarawikh prayer that is performed after the Isya' prayer.

Fasting, if taking it in context is not just abstaining from eating and drinking. It teaches its disciple to be patient, forgiving and be mindful from committing any sins. The eyes and ears too should be disciplined not to listen to corrupt words and see sinful things.
