Assalamu'alaikum,
If you've been keeping up with a productive Ramadan; doing your best to balance between spiritual productivity, social productivity and physical productivity, you'll probably be a bit tired by now. The demands on your time are immense and you have to be careful of every minute you spend (even your sleep hours is counted by the minute!)
But honestly, aren't you happy that you're having a Productive Ramadan and hopeful that Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) will accept?
Imagine if you slept all day during Ramadan, and stayed all up night having fun with friends and watching movies. Would you be as happy? Probably not.
Our happiness and sadness is connected to how close we're with Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala). As human beings, we inherently feel happy when we worship Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) no matter how tired we get, similarly we're 'programmed' to feel sadness when we're far from Allah no matter how relaxed we are.
So if you're feeling a bit tired and drained these days, feel happy that you're doing your best, smile and ask Allah to help you continue on His path!
Yours sincerely,
Abu Productive
