Betterlife : The Diary Game | Date: 27 March 2025 | Activities while staying at our mosque

Wishing everyone good health, I hope you are all well. Ramadan Mubarak to everyone. Currently, the month of Ramadan is going on. I had made up my mind to spend the last 10 days of Ramadan in the mosque, which is called Itikaf. During this time, all worldly activities are abandoned and only prayers are offered in the mosque. So this is how I am spending my days in the mosque with three other people. After eating Sehri last night, I prayed Fajr. Then I lay down for a while and sat for a while in the cool environment in the morning. While sitting outside, I took a few selfies.

Then I did some work inside the mosque, such as cleaning, etc. Even though the afternoon sun was bright, there was a touch of tranquility in the light breeze. I was standing next to the mosque and observing the surrounding scenery. Suddenly my eyes turned to the sky and saw numerous white clouds like cotton. The sunlight was shining on them and spreading a kind of golden glow.

The clouds were small and scattered, creating a beautiful pattern. It felt as if someone had drawn a design on the canvas of the sky with a brush. This scene against the blue sky became so enchanting that I got busy holding my camera to capture the moment. I immediately took a few pictures.

The minarets of the mosque stood silently, witnessing this form of the sky. I felt that such beauty of nature is captured only for a moment but remains in the memory forever. Then I took a bath in the bathroom of the mosque. Then I prayed Zuhr with everyone and lay down inside the mosque for a while because it is necessary to take rest in the month of Ramadan. Thus the afternoon passed.

In the afternoon, I refreshed myself and performed ablution because it was time for the Asr call to prayer. The afternoon was starting to turn into twilight. The sun was slowly sinking in the western sky and its golden glow fell on the domes and minarets of the mosque, creating a charming scene. I stood aside and watched how the last light of the sun was reflected on the mosque and shone like a gold-plated structure.

The light was so bright that it seemed that the mosque itself was a source of light. This picture is not just of light and the mosque, but it is a reflection of an eternal beauty where nature and worship meet in a unique way. So then I completed the afternoon prayer with everyone from the mosque. Then I sat on the balcony of the mosque and prayed in the name of Allah for a while. The afternoon was spent in the courtyard of the mosque. Although there was some noise outside, there was a kind of tranquility here.

The gentle melody of the call to prayer was floating in the air and birds were flying around at their own pace. Sitting on the cool marble floor of the mosque, I felt the slow pace of time, as if all the busyness of the world had stopped here. At that time, some of my cousins ​​were busy scrolling through their phones. So they were behind me, and I took a little selfie from the front.

Then the afternoon passed and the evening began. When it was time for iftar, we all gathered. Today's iftar was a little special. The cashier of the mosque created a unique example of generosity and love. He was the main person organizing today's iftar. It was decorated with various items. Dates, fruits, bundiya, piaju, purple, chickpeas, sherbet and many more.

We were all sitting in a row inside the mosque and waiting. The sun was slowly disappearing into the horizon and the color of the sky was changing to orange. The play of light and shadow was going on on the walls of the mosque and that familiar calm feeling before iftar was floating in the air. I quickly took a picture just before iftar.

As soon as the Maghrib call to prayer was heard from the microphone, we all started breaking our fast by saying ‘Bismillah’ together. As soon as we put the first date in our mouths, a sense of peace came over us. Along with the food and drink, a kind of silent joy was working among everyone. The joy of breaking our fast together is simply extraordinary.

After breaking our fast, we all prayed together and prayed for the cashier. Then, we sat on the balcony of the mosque and after a while, we prayed Tarawih again. When the prayers were over, he arranged dinner for us. We all finished eating and resting together for a while. Then we worshipped Allah for a while at night. In this way, when the night fell, I finished all my work and went to sleep inside the mosque.
