Its 10.15pm and i have been up since 6am. This morning after i took my sister to the shops we decided to stop over at the supermarket to buy some groceries for ramdan. I could not believe the selection of food varieties there is subhanallah, as i was going through the baking section to buy baking soda and yeast i could not believe the variety of yeast that was available ( i mean yeast is yeast). That got me to thinking about how ungrateful we are and how much food we waste every year, people in Africa are starving while we chuck out food. While they have absolutely nothing to eat while we stock up on food and whatever our nafs desires.
The sadly reality of the situation really makes me think about the part i am playing in all of this and how i will be taken into account for it. I might not be fully aware of what is happening but i know enough to understand that while im eating and enjoying life other people are trying to gather whatever food they can if any. something depressing to think about especially at this time but nonetheless, its thought provoking and important.
On a lighter note, i was keeping an eye out for the moon tonight but no luck as there's an overcast here tonight. Seeing the moon uplifts my spirit and makes me appreciate the natural beauty of Allah's creation. Insha'allah i hope i see the moon tomorrow but seeing it on Sunday at the ramadan moonsighting will do.
