As we reach the end of the second third of Ramadan, our bodies and minds are tired but it’s important that we continue to persevere, striving to seek the pleasure of the Almighty in order that we attain God consciousness. When we enter the last ten days we feel at ease as our bodies have adjusted to staying without food and drink. How merciful is our Creator for allowing us to increase our faith and steadfastness throughout this month so we can reap the rewards during the last ten nights of Ramadan. In our daily lives we are expected to demonstrate patience and perseverance when facing adversity, trusting in Almighty’s plan throughout our lives, the same goes for Ramadan. May the Almighty grant us patience and allow us to be grateful for all the favours He bestowed upon us.
Today we ended our last cooking for the month of Ramadan feeding 3,200 mouths of the communities of Lansdowne, Vrygrond, Lavender Hill, Steenberg, Milnerton, Retreat, Tafelsig, Ottery, Parkwood and Khayalitsha taking the total mouths fed to 225,200. We manage to feed approximately 14,000 people over the past three weeks from Lavender Hill, Belhar and Ottery kitchens. We would like to thank all the sponsors, the team and volunteers for making it possible to feed the impoverished, orphaned and destitute in our communities. May your lives be filled with many blessings and for those fasting may you reap the rewards of these last 10 days.
