SubhanAllah, after years of trying, I finally completed Ramadan fasting!
Hey everyone, just wanted to share something personal. About 6 years ago, I began my journey back to Islam and started focusing on fasting for Ramadan. I was raised Muslim but had drifted away, and coming back has been a slow process, Alhamdulilah. Fasting has always been super tough for me-like, really hard. I’d fast a few days, then slip up, try again, and slip again. Every Ramadan I’d feel like I wasn’t good enough because I couldn’t make it through all the fasts. I’m nowhere near perfect, but I had to share this because Alhamdulilah, this was the first Ramadan I managed to fast every single day! It feels amazing, since fasting has always been one of my biggest struggles. Alhamdulilah, now I’m trying to do the 6 days of Shawwal fasting... so far, I’ve only done one out of six. It’s honestly even harder fasting outside Ramadan, and I’m nervous I might not finish, but I truly love Islam and Alhamdulilah for the chance to return to my faith. <3
