Seeking Guidance on Approaching Ramadan as a Non-Muslim Learner

Salam, everyone. I hope you're all well. I've been studying and reading the Quran for a while now, though I haven't officially embraced Islam. I genuinely appreciate learning about Islamic teachings. This might sound a bit unconventional, but I decided to start fasting today even though Ramadan began last week-I just wanted to participate in some way, deepen my respect, and strengthen my connection with Allah SWT. Any advice for someone in my position? Would it make sense to extend this for another week? JazakAllah khair for your help.

This is so beautiful. May Allah SWT guide you and accept your efforts. My advice is to start slow and focus on the intention, it's very personal.

May Allah make it easy for you. Take it day by day, and yes, extending is a lovely idea if you wish to.

Just do what feels right for you. The fact you're trying is amazing in itself.

Sister, this warms my heart. I think extending it would be wonderful if you feel able. Your respect is clear.
