When your birthday comes in Ramadan…
When your birthday comes in Ramadan… আমরা সাধারণত জন্মদিন মানেই ভাবি— cake, candles, wishes, celebration. কিন্তু রমজানের ভেতরে যদি আপনার জন্মদিন আসে, তাহলে সেটি শুধু another year of life না— এটি হতে পারে a moment of reflection. Allah allowed you to witness another year. And more beautifully—He allowed you to witness another Ramadan. Think about it for a moment… কত মানুষ ছিল গত বছর, যারা আজ আর এই রমজানে নেই। So maybe this birthday can be different. Not louder. But deeper. ☐ Pray two rak‘ah and thank Allah for the gift of life ☐ Make heartfelt dua for your future ☐ Give a small sadaqah ☐ Recite some Qur’an and reflect ☐ Ask Allah to forgive the past year Because the most meaningful birthday celebration is not blowing candles… It is turning your heart back to Allah. And perhaps, a birthday in Ramadan is Allah’s gentle reminder— “You were given another year… now come a little closer to Me.” 🤍🌙 ©️Nurjahan Akter
