So how did you spend your first day of Ramadan? and what did you break your fast on?
This day went rather fast (for me) I was sleep deprived for a few days, and though we had guests today I could barely keep my eyes open..
I woke up 15 mins shy of breakfast.. we had a feat but I wasn't very hungry.. to be honest I still want to sleep some more.. it is catching up with me the deprivation of the past two weeks...
we had rotisserie chicken today, some spinach burek?
stuffed courgettes except ours were stuffed with meat
taro soup
lamb chops
other things which I can't remember as I wasn't sitting on that side of the table..
for drinks we had
Roselle
milk and that thing calles 'khoshaf' I don't know what that is in English..
and qatayef for desert
which I don't care for, so I had oatmeal instead..
It was neutral for me as I was restless the whole day,anxious...I tried to sleep but did more to serve Allah. Alhumdulilah. Feels good to fast. I simpily broke my fast with a Kajoor. After a while,I ate my dinner. Alhumdulilah,anxiously waiting Iftaari...
I was happy just about all day, spent alot of time with my Algerian friend who is teaching me things and helping buil our house. Did some cementing in fire place, housework etc etc. Broke fast with dates and ate chicken and soup Algerian style, prayed Isha with my two sons hamdulillah.
"O ye who belive! Endure, outdo all others in endurance, be ready, and observe your duty to Allah, in order that you may succeed"
sounds like an honest good day.. I like when people spend Ramadan as they would any regular day but only wiser..
I have been to places where folks spend all day in front of soaps and all night stuffing themselves... it is unfortunate..

Yes a normal day with the added bonus of doing something special for Allah, its first time I fully understand Ramadhaan and I really love it. Trying to get sunnah right inorder to become better Muslim when its over insha'Allah

I didn't understand Ramadan fully until recently myself and I was born Muslim.. I suspect, it will evolve even more as one grows sage and wise..
I wish you every blessing this Ramadan Tony (and the ummah)
do share pix of your food if you can lol.. visual aid helps..
usually the Malaysians beat us with their dazzling sites and foods from their towns..
I want to see some Ramadan pictures insha'Allah

*Without Allah, without Islam, life would be meaningless. If I've ever learned patience, it's because of this. Alhamdulillah...*
