I wanted to discuss a few things that tend to occur in Ramadan but I remembered that I had an older post that basically covered the main points! The only difference is that the list for this year’s TV shows are far more extensive than last year’s. However, Tash Ma Tash, the most famous Saudi TV show, will not be airing this Ramadan. It finally came to an end after 15 successful seasons. I personally wasn’t one of the shows enthusiasts but I have to acknowledge that it did touch on many important topics and shed some light on multiple issues that we suffer from in our country. Nassir Al-Gasabi and Abdullah Al-Sadhan will be appearing in a new show called Kolna Eyal Garya. I personally hardly ever watch TV in Ramadan because I believe there is more to do in this month than be glued to a TV screen.
Inshallah I get to pray Taraweeh every night. Inshallah I get to finish reading the Qur’an once at least. I also intend to start studying some of things we’ll be taking next year so that I’m fully prepared when it begins because it is the final year and the most important one. I hope that we get to finally work on our new volunteer organization that aims to help the medical students become better doctors. I’m also going to be involved in a major health education campaign starting in Shawal so that needs work too. I need to lose 5 kilos at least this month! Stupid exams weight still didn’t go!
Oh well, as you see, it’s going to be a busy Ramadan. May you enjoy it all

May Allah (swt) shower His endless mercy and blessings upon all Muslims worldwide. May we all benefit wholly from this Ramadan, do as much good deeds as we can and dedicate them all, solely, to Allah.
And finally, may we all be granted Paradise and saved from the Hellfire.
Amin!
Ramadan kareem to you all!

Ramadan Kareem
The TV shows are on a roll this month. I’m not a TV person in general and it won’t be too hard to boycott the whole thing.
May Allah make this one a bit more spiritual insh’Allah.

A Global Citizen, amen
8bitsofcoffee, it’s best to wait until it’s all over and then ask what was good and watch it after Ramadan if you’re so inclined.

am with you dr
I hate Tv in Ramadan. as every year it’s raining stupid shows :@
To me It’s a month for praying, for reading qura’an and it is a bout a spiritual purification that comes from being deprived of the basic necessities of life in order to appreciate the blessing bestowed upon us.
اللَّهُمَّ بَاركْ لَنَا في رَمَضَانَ و أَعِنَّا عَلَى صِيَامِهِ وَقِيَامِهِ عَلَى الوَجْهِ الّذِي يُرْضِيكَ عَنَّا
