Assalamu Alaikum all steemian friends. Ramadan Mubarak to all. So I woke up last night and ate Sehri. Then I rested for a while and went to the mosque to pray Fajr. The day was Friday, the day of Holy Friday, so the mind felt fresh after praying. Then I walked home and spent some time on Steemit and walked to the front of the house. The sun slowly rose and the sweet sunshine was lovely. I was standing under such sunlight for a while with a selfie.

The winter clothes I wore were all red. So my red sweater was very shiny in the winter sun and popped in the picture. It is currently winter season in Bangladesh. After a few days, summer will come so we have to say goodbye to winter. That's why I walk on winter mornings. Then I was walking back home from there when I saw a leaf lying on the ground, the front part of the leaf was burnt but it was damaged. The page was too small so I went to my mobile camera settings and adjusted the micro lens and clicked a photo.

After that, I spent some time at home, although after a while I had to go to the mosque for Friday prayers, so I took a bath and performed ablution. I went to the mosque a little early today for Friday prayers. There is a different solace in coming early to the mosque during this holy month of Ramadan. Everyone around is fasting, the sound of recitation in the mouth, a different kind of peace of worship in the mind. Its reward increases many folds in Ramadan. So I try to go early on Friday and pray for some time to pray. May Allah accept our deeds. Anyway, after praying the Friday prayer, I stood in front of our newly painted wall and took a picture.

After that in the afternoon I wandered for a while in the cool environment and then when it was time for prayer I went to the mosque. Afternoon was always quiet in our mosque. It was today but today a special event happened which made us all think. A man who is not from our area but from another area has come to us to give us something. He brought down a steel cot and a wooden cot with people and placed them near the mosque. He said it was a cot for bathing the dead and it was a steel cot to keep the body after the bath. I want to donate it to the mosque. We were very surprised by his generosity. The other worshipers of the mosque were also looking in amazement. He said I only want this donation of mine to be useful for the last farewell of the dead. They couldn't ask for anything more but if we the living can bid them a final farewell with dignity, what could be greater than that?

Afternoon was approaching evening. There is a different kind of festive atmosphere inside the mosque. Iftar Mahfil has been organized in our mosque today. After a while, a group of volunteers brought Iftar on a big plate. A glass of sherbet, dates, fruits, onions, watermelons are all arranged in front. And the most interesting was the separate biryani packets for everyone. We all sat down in a row. Smiles of satisfaction on the faces of the fasting people around.

The Imam said a short prayer and just then the sound of Azan came from the microphone of the mosque. We all said Bismillah and put dates on our faces. The cold syrup went down the throat and gave a different kind of relief. The tiredness of the whole day was erased in an instant. Then I opened the biryani packet and started eating. Prayers in some mouths praises in some mouths Ah great taste. After that we all prayed Maghrib. Iftar that day was not only about food but also about the joy of eating together, brotherhood and expressing love for each other. At the end of Iftar, a brother said that this is the real beauty of Ramadan. Everyone should worship, eat and pray together. So after coming home and resting for a while, I ate a boiled egg at night.

After that, when it was time for Tarab prayer, we all went to the mosque and prayed together. I felt the joy of prayer in a light and cool atmosphere. Then after the prayer, everyone returned home, then I got busy on the Steemit platform. So when night came I finished all my work and fell asleep and ended the day like today.
