Ramadhan @ "O"-107 N. Mathilda Ave, Sunnyvale, CA ... Sweet Memories

Assalamu Alaikum WRH,

Hearing the gentle tap on the main door at 4:00 AM, I opened the door to notice the glisten sparkling toothy smile of Br. Nawaz Bhai greeting me. He enters in the house to appreciate the delicious smell of Chicken Korma prepared by Br. Basheer, and on the other hot plate the Chappli kebab prepared by Br. Firasath was getting warmed to be devoured by all my brothers who visited the above mentioned address to perform the noble act of Suhoor.

Another knock on the door made Br. Moiz open the door to view Br. Alim and Br. Mukhtar smiling and greeting all the inhabitants of O 107 N Mathilda Ave. Br. Abdul Kalam and Br. Iqbal joins the table to start the suhoor. They choose the Keema curry prepared with full of love and affection by Br. Fayaz.

Once done with the Suhoor everyone now starts the chorus.

"Zabardast Chai, Zahid Bhai". Br. Farrukh rushes to give me a helping hand and Br. Alim and Br. Mukhtar distributes the tea. Last to enter the house Br. Asif Yaveri quickly finishes his Suhoor and leaps to get hold of his cup of tea.

Br. Shahul Hameed finishing his Suhoor enjoys the fresh morning breeze outside the house with Br. Safar Senego, and when everyone has finish performing their Wudoo and Fajr Sunnah, Br. Shahul Hameed leads the Fajr prayer and makes a wonderful Dua.

In all the midst gets up Shaktivel and Nanda Kumar wakes up scratching their heads, quizzing and wondering

"Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai, Arey Ye Kya Ho Raha Hai" .....(What is happening?)

This is one of the many wonderful moments we all experienced in that apartment during the same holy month of Ramadhan which we all experiencing now.

Now by the grace of beloved creator are married well settled. Hopefully Br. Fayaz would have found his bride, If not, Allah swt have mercy on him.

Pray to Allah swt to help us forgive the faults of other muslim brother, make our chest clean of all the maladies, give lots of barakah in our sustenance, provide us best of the health, provide our children best of both (worldly and deeni) education, accept our salah, fastings, Zakah. Aameen.
