Ramadan
"The month of Ramadhan is not like any other month; its purpose is to rid man of those habits which he has accumulated throughout the rest of the year. It is a month that prepares man for the remaining eleven months by teaching him discipline and self control. Thus, Allah has made some acts which are beloved to man, like eating, drinking and fulfilling one’s desires, Haraam. If man can control these desires in this month, which are usually permissible for him, then he can surely control himself from other desires which are not permissible throughout the remaining months."
So today is my second day of blogging and I was very shocked at the amount of views, it is so great to connect with people. I have to say that I owe my path of starting to blog to one thing: Ramadan. To clarify I am not Muslim however I have many friends that practice Ramadan. I was very curious of the practice and so I asked questions and did some research.
I will continue to blog through my experience but so far out of the 29/30 days (depends on the moon) with only 14 days left this is what I have personally learned:
Discipline. Real Hunger.Listening to your body. What a clear mind feels like. Sense of awareness.

I am also fasting, and discipline is something I am starting to understand as well...
ReplyDeleteBut for me, Tolerance has been a huge part of this journey. I have a lot of distractions in my life, many of which are out of my control. I've also been made much more aware of the actions, and thoughts, of others. I'm so grateful for this journey as well! We should get together and talk soon!
I am so happy to hear this, it's so great to have support in this process as well. We can certainly get together and talk soon :) Where are you living?
