As we commemorate the last Friday of Ramadhan 1442 Hijri, which corresponds to 2021 in the Gregorian calendar, we should reflect on the odyssey we have had to endure in the fight against the pandemic which reared its ugly head last year and has been ravaging our numbers ever since.

But Alhamdulillah we are still here, carrying on the fight and triumphing over the contagion because our hope endures even where our strength falters.
