I never expected to be a founding board member of the Brooklyn Park Islamic Center. I never expected to have a mosque just a few blocks away from my home. I ever expected to pray with my community during Ramadan every night for 30 days.
I never expected the impact of Covid-19. I never expected the mosque to be closed. I never expected not praying with Taraweeh buddies. I never expected not breaking a fast in Ramadan at the mosque.
I never expected to create a mini-mosque in my home. I never expected to pray only with family. I never expected my son to lead me in prayer. I never expected my cat to be my Taraweeh buddy. I never expected to appreciate and be grateful for my health, home and privileges. Blessed to find peace, reflection and connection during a COVID-19 Ramadan.
