Hey Steemians
Today was a refreshing day in the countryside. I woke up at 4 a.m. for sehri, the pre-dawn meal before fasting, and headed to the mosque for Fajr prayer. The serene atmosphere of the mosque filled me with tranquility as I offered my prayers.
After returning home, I caught a few more hours of sleep and woke up again at 9 a.m. Feeling rejuvenated, I took a refreshing shower and got ready for the day. Stepping outside, I ventured into the fields where my family grows wheat and corn.
The fields stretched out before me, a patchwork of green and gold under the morning sun. I spent some time tending to the crops, checking on the progress of the wheat which was almost ready for harvest.
As I was inspecting the crops, I remembered that my uncle had planted potatoes nearby. Curious to see how they were doing, I made my way to his plot. The sight of the thriving potato plants filled me with pride, knowing that soon we would have a bountiful harvest.
Returning home, I performed the Zuhr prayer and then set out to the market to buy vegetables for the day.
My task was to gather ingredients for making pakoras, a savory snack loved by everyone in the family. With the vegetables in hand, I made my way back home, eager to start cooking.
After a brief moment of checking my phone, I joined my mother in the kitchen to prepare the pakoras.
As the time for iftar, the evening meal to break the fast, approached, I laid out the table with all the dishes we had prepared. The aroma of freshly cooked food filled the air, whetting our appetites. We sat together and broke our fast with dates and water, as is the tradition, before indulging in the delicious spread before us.
After Maghrib prayer, we enjoyed a hearty dinner together, sharing stories of our day and relishing each other's company. As the day came to a close, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the simple joys of life – the beauty of nature, the warmth of family, and the blessings of good food.
As I reflected on the day's events, I realized that sometimes the most fulfilling moments are found in the ordinary routines of life, I hope that you will like to read it.
