Assalaamu 'Alaykum,
Alhamdulillah now that the blessed month of Ramadan has passed, we need not to forget/disregard that ibadah is still compulsory for us Muslims at all times. We should always be doing continuing ibadah to strive for the closeness to our lord, Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim and to be showered by his mercy. I pray to Allah the azawa jal to guide us through our lives to the straight path, to which the ultimate destination is insha'Allah Jannah!
