Ramadan tips: Year 2


Another month of Ramadan has passed for me, and I will share my thoughts about this year. This post won't consist of as many tips as previous one (read it here), but will be filled more with revelations.


  • I followed the same eating plan as last year. However, I felt that I did binge eating sometimes, which led to stomach problems. Therefore, I have decided to eat healthy after Ramadan. It's all in head! I have this stupid idea that I should eat as much as I can while I am allowed, even though my organism doesn't require it. It's very wrong and false comprehension of the holy month.
  • This year, comparing to the last, fasting was easier. It doesn't matter how much you eat. For example, one morning I didn't feel hungry and was tired that didn't want to wake up for suhoor, but I had it anyway. Other day I missed suhoor, but it turned out to be one of the easiest days fasting-wise.
  • I wear more modest clothes than before, even in days when it's hot and sunny. This is my progress.
  • I don't want anyone to muslimize me. I want to muslimize by myself. I feel that those stimulations or suggestions (indirect pressure) coming from Muslims repel me from officially accepting Islam sooner. Encouragements are welcomed, though.
  • Although I'm still on the path of search, I consider myself as "almost a Muslim" or a Muslim to-be. Although it may seem hesitant and too slow for someone, I know that I am progressing and gradually getting closer to Islam every day. Although I'm not completely practising it, I try to do as much good deeds as possible: make duas, fast, think and act well, be more modest, visit mosques when it is possible, read Quran regularly and learn, learn, learn more about Islam. The last point also includes going to educational/cultural events (like Iftar with Muslims).
  • Non-Muslims often say that Ramadan is difficult period for Muslims and they feel sorry for them, but I think Muslims don't suffer at all; every day goes with ease. I also can confirm that. I feel blessed. 
  • Time of Ramadan has made me appreciate what we are given. Islam is very logical religion. Everything makes sense to me when I reason. I feel free and fresh after Ramadan. Looking forward to the next, inshallah!

Watch your words. They may hurt someone, even though it wasn't your intention.

I'm sick of shit. People's stupidity will never stop to surprise me.
