Story - "The blessed month"

Wake up, wake up Hamad, his mother said. It's time for sahur.He woke
up, but when his mother was out of the sight he went back to sleep
again. His mother came into the room again,and he did the same
thingagain. His mother was angry now, so she decided not to wake him
up.
In the morning when he woke up for school, he hardly remembered
anything. The kitchen wasempty nobody was there.
His mother was feeding the chickens, since they don't have to fast.
Where is my breakfast? he asked his mother. There won't be anything to
eat until sunset. Why? he asked. Because IT'S RAMADAN, she said.Oh!Oh!
how comeI missed it, now he remembered everything. He went to school.
There everybody in his class did fast. He was sorry for himself.
Their teacher told them about Ramadan. His Islamic studies teacher
told them, that you shouldn't sleep too much in Ramadan. You should
finish one Quran at least. The door of heavens are open and the door
of hell will be closed in this blessed moth. The shaitanand other
devels are chained. They can't botheryou. So don't be lazy and pray as
much as you can.Make a lot of duas especially in the night of
power.Hamad raised his hand. Yes? the teacher asked. Which night is
the night of power? he said. Allah had hid this night in the last 10
nights, many scholar believes it's the 27th night and others say it
could be 29th; but nobody knows for sure which night it is the teacher
said. So it could be in 21st,23rd,25th,27th or 29th another student
asked. Yes, you are right, the teacher said. They were still
discussing whenthe bell rang.
When Hamad came home from school. He didn't even asked for food. He
made wudu and went to the Masjid.It was time for Asar.He read the
Quran when he came back.At Iftar he hardly ate anything.After dinner
he did his homework and went to the Masjid to prayIsha and Taravi with
his father.
Please wake me up for Sahur,I won't go back to sleep, I promise he
told his mother before going to bed.Insha Allah, his mother said.
He felt so much peace inside him.
(the end)
