First day of fast

 Assalamu aleikum dears :) Ramadan is here!

We follow the Saudi announcement of the sighting of the moon, so we started to fast today. Alhamdulillah. I fasted my missed days from last year mainly during January and February, so I am a bit used to the feel. 

...

So today, I was hoping to get a work shift but didn't, but got one for later on this week. Then I picked a package, and bought few items from the market (more bananas for banana smoothies, hehe). I feel like I am more present in the moment and that feels good. I have been so happy and hopeful all day, ma sha Allah. This is definitely some progress, and I strive to stay on this path.

 I have also read Qur'an, like I planned, and instead of feeling like it's a duty, the Qur'an feels interesting and comforting. Reassuring, that's what I've been yearning. I hope this is a beginning for a growing imaan and becoming closer to Allah swt. ♡

...

I hope you all are doing well. Remember to pray for Palestine and all nations that are struggling under oppression, war and famine. We are living in times where no one can rest anymore, not even the rich. There's pressure and tension in the air. In sha Allah this blessed month will bring ease and glad tidings to all who are ready to receive them. May Allah guide us on our paths.

 

 

A short one today, thnx for reading though. Have a nice evening!

Later then,
