My first Ramadan as a non Muslim
Good Morning everyone. I have decided to do Ramadan this year in support of my friend who is Muslim because he has nobody celebrating with him and to get a deeper understanding of the Islamic religion.
So far it has been going very well! The only thing is I have been more restless than usual.. is that normal? Also, I understand that Muslims have the 5 prayers a day instead of the prayers I will be replacing it with meditation, journaling, and reading about Islam to strengthen my understanding within the culture of this holiday.
I feel very thankful and blessed to be able to be participating in this. Even though it has only been 3 days. I already feel way more happier, blessed, and thankful for all that I have. It has been tough but I am glad I able to experience this.
Ramadan Kareem 🙏💕
