Hi guys!
It is a sad but happy time currently. It is sad because it's the ending days of the month of Ramadan but happy because Eid is coming in a few days. Personally, this year, Ramadan felt different and it was pleasant. The environment I was surrounded by was quite nice and heartwarming during this month. So, I thought I might do a little reflection of this amazing month that passed by.
Fasting:
From the start, it has not been too hard. Not eating during the day made me feel lighter (or not full or bloated like normal days). Although, it does start to get me at around 7 pm but it is not too bad anyway. Only advice I would give is to avoid going grocery shopping because you end up everything and it gets wasted at the end.
Prayer:
Unlike outside Ramadan days, you do not feel that laziness to pray. It is easy to pray as much as you want and like always, it gives me a sense of peace when I am praying. Talking about Taraweeh, it is a blessing that we get the energy to pray Isha and 20 rakats (8 if want to) of Taraweeh after spending daylight time not eating. It is such an amazing blessing from Allah, Subhan'Allah!
Health:
It is not anything's or anyone's fault that I have spent it quite sick and healthy very little days. I started Ramadan with a horrible cough that disturbed my prayer. It was quite bad. So, I recovered by taking medicine after 13-15 days. Then constantly a feeling of weakness and dizziness which feels quite bad and interrupts my daily life. Although now I feel better Alh.
Food:
Main Goal: NO FRIED FOOD! Did I achieve this goal? Almost... This year I wanted to absolutely cut the fried food at home and the amount of food made. Since I have a younger brother at home who fasted everyday (Masha'Allah), my mum ends up making some fried food for him. I tend to avoid it and stick to my dates, drink, rice flakes (poha or chira with toppings) and some snacks and fruits. With an exception of few days, mostly it made me feel light and not painfully bloated.
Daily life:
Since this year, all my lectures and exams finished ages ago, I was able to spend it at home. You eventually get bored at home of doing nothing. It is a great time to spend the time in good deeds or do things you have been wanting to do through the year. Somehow at the end you get quite busy preparing for Eid and stuff. If you are a busy person, it is even better because you are entertained with something and it does not feel as bad. Basically it is not hard and it feels amazing.
