2020 - The unexpected year that is!

 It is already the last two months of 2020. Who would have thought that 2020 is the 'home' year.. the year when most Malaysians spent their time mostly at home, thanks to the Covid-19 virus. The deadly virus that has killed so many people globally, changed so many lives, changed the norms of the world, and even changed the way people think, work, and act. It basically changed the world! 

Here in Malaysia, we have been hit with the third wave towards the end of September. We were just beginning to enjoy the new normal of life when the third wave hit and things have slowed down again. We are back in the Conditional Movement Control Order where there are certain movement rules and we have to comply. The worst is, NO SCHOOL! AH yes, there's the so called 'online classes' which normally depending the school, the teacher and perhaps the students themselves. Not everyone will have the privilege of having the good facilities to go online. Sad. 

It's really a hard choice to make I'm sure, among the authorities, to decide between health and the economy. It has to go hand it hand. The economy of the world suffered so much. Not just in Malaysia. Some may got hit hardest, some barely hit. Alhamdulillah for me and family, things are running as usual, there are still food on the table and shelter above our heads. Things changed here and there but we are surviving, and we are so ever grateful for this. 

My prayers for today would be for the cure of this virus be found. Surely there are reasons that Allah sent out this virus to humans. I pray that this will be over soon. I pray Allah will cure all those who have been infected. I pray that those 'economically' affected by the virus, will get up again and able to survive, I pray that things will get better, and mostly I pray that Allah will protect us all from the virus. Please forgive us all. Please take away Covid-19 from the earth. Please hear us and answer our prayers. Indeed, You are the best planner, the Most Knowing and the Most Loving.
