assalamu alaykum wa rah matullahi wa barakatuhi

hey peeps, hope you're all well in health and Iman in sha Allah [emoji120][emoji106][emoji817]

so I was wondering would anyone like to fast? (for missed fasts or even sunnah and nafl in sha Allah [emoji120][emoji56][emoji817])

​​​​​this is obviously for islamic fasting and not intermittent fasting etc

thought we could help and motivate each other and Ramadhan I s not far away so it's an opportunity to build ourselves up to make the fasting easier but also to prepare the mind, body and soul so ibadah whilst fasting also becomes easier biidnillah

p.s sorry if I posted in the wrong section, wasn't sure where to.post it

I have to finish up make up fasts but I'm planning on fasting on Mondays and Thursdays.. It's something I used to do but I quit for awhile

It's much easier to be fasting at this time especially since the days are so short

Yea not like the fasts are hard, it's just getting out of bed in the cold weather sis that is difficult but keep praying to Allah SWT to make it easy in sha Allah [emoji120][emoji56]

Many health & spiritual benefits of fasting Alhamdulillah so even if you don't have to keep your missed fasts i would definitely recommend to all fit and healthy individuals insha Allah.

Can I join the exclusive IB fasting crew too? :shade:

I am fasting today, had porridge+oats+cheerios with honey, a slice of toast, cup o tea with biscuits and a portion of almonds. You know what they say, breakfast should be big.

Sehri in the short daylight wintery days is like a very early breakfast with ifthar as a very late lunch... Why not reap some rewards... In shA Allah, may Allah swt reward all.

What did you have...?

Assalam o Alaikum Rahmatullah wa barkuthu,

It depends on your intentions,

challenging and motivating each other to fast or do good deeds is okay as long as the main intention is for the sake of Allah and not showing off..

enjoining good

of course like anything your intention is key, my intention with this thread is just to encourage others and motivate myself too, its only done for the sake of Allah swt fisabilillah

Ameen

may we live by the sunnah and die by the sunnah Ameen

Yep I know what ready brek is... Nothing like a bowl of oat, wheat or porridge cooked in hot milk on a cold wintery morning.

I usually get too spooked to go downstairs by myself and grab some food in the early morning when its dark and quiet. So I just drank water from my bottle I had in my room

Sometimes I'll remember to bring some fruit/snacks upstairs the night before so I can simply eat in my room

I should probably do that this time..

This does sound perfect for the cold season though

Asalamualykum

How was everyone's fast? 2 more left insha Allah well 3 more if you want to include sunnah Thursday too insha Allah.

During Ramadaan i always have Sehri Alhamdulillah only to reap the rewards but when i fast outside of ramadhaan i don't wake up to eat. Your body gets used to what you give it tbh. Alhamdulilah.

May Allah swt accept from us Ameen.

why you scared for? just switch on the light and keep reciting ayatul kursi, the Qur'an is sooo powerful nothing can harm you trust Allah swt Almighty in sha Allah sis

tbh last year i set myself a challenge that i would onlyhave black coffee for suhoor and only have one big meal for iftar,
i actually did it for the whole of ramadhan, did ti for weight lose and it really helped subhanAllah

to be honest sister, since i can remember ive always got up for suhoor,
it doesnt feel like a fast if i dont wake up for suhoor,
like even in my last post i said i had just black coffee all for suhoor all ramadhan last year but i would still get up and sit in the lounge to have it etc

i dont know but it defo feels like more barakah when you wake up for suhoor
