In this update, myself and my family-friends, Sara, Verda and Sulayman, reflect on how Ramadan was for the each of us this month. We do a deep-dive guided by the following prompts:
- How Ramadan was overall for us this year
- Struggles we overcame while fasting this year, such as managing work schedules, personal life and discussing how our personal health can affect our worship for the month
- How non-Muslims perceive Ramadan, ranging from people not caring or are being extremely curious about the month and how we go about things
- Things we are especially grateful for during Ramadan, like being thankful for the food we have on the table, the fact that our health is good enough to even participate in the fasting, and more
- Finally, things we learned and accomplished this month, discussing great resources we utilized to expand our Islamic knowledge
Inshallah, this will be the one of many Islamic reflection updates and I hope you gained something from this update!
