The 2018 fasting month has already ended. I am gratified that I spent it by thoroughly reading 30 juz from the Quran. I am also gratified that during Ramadan I composed and assembled 30 mini essay poems within one book.
Most significantly, however, I introduced 10 pearls of the Quran into my heart. I indelibly etched them there and made them eternal. At the same time, I pray that these 10 pearls will always direct my life.
