I must say I haven't been very good with keeping my Ramadan diary this year. My doctor diagnosed me with a big vitamin D deficiency and an elevated H. Pylori in my stomach which means increased acid levels, basically. Also, my mother's health hasn't been keeping very well. So, mashaAllah, I feel pretty heroic with fasting this year. I pray that Allah grants everybody the strength and stamina to fast and worship, ameen.
Ramadan fasts in my part of the USA are a good 16 hours starting from 4:30am and ending at about 8:30pm. I'd say I'm handling the duration pretty well, but my productivity level is very, very low, like that vitamin D. I had some goals set straight before the month began, but they aren't coming along very well because I'm so preoccupied with difficulties.
Nevertheless, there is always time to revamp because this is a matter not between me and the world but between me and Allah. And He is the Most Understanding. So, I'm revising my goals, making them a bit more easier this Ramadan.
Ramadan Goals:
- Memorizing the 100 names of Allah
- Read most of the Tafsir of Surah Baqarah
- Read as much Quran as I can
- Compile a good variety of recipes in the Ramadan Kitchen
