My first day of Ramadan month.

April 3, 2022, Sunday

First of all I wish everyone Happy Ramadan Mubarak. By the grace of Allah for a long year we are back in this Ramadan month and I'm thankful to Allah that I am still alive. We all Muslims know that Ramadan has started from today or from yesterday in some countries. This month is a very special and holy month out of 11 months of a year. As there are many blessings in this month, there are also some special benefits for all fasting people.

A week ago I read a post by @Shohana which said in title that Fasting is better than diet. During this Ramadan month, we Muslims fast, pray five times a day, eat seheri on every last night, break our fast in evening and pray to Allah.

There are many of us who control diet but it is better than diet that which is proved by many experts. We do not eat for 14-15 hours a day and it brings many benefits to our body. During Iftar, eat dates which help in digestion of fiber. Fasting improves our brain. Many have bad habits, such as smoking, getting drunk, arguing, fighting, talking nonsense, and so on. By fasting, a person can abstain from these bad habits. Moreover, it reduces the risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke.

Yesterday I read an article on Facebook which said that it is possible to cure cancer by fasting. Many people may not believe this but it is the idea of ​​scientists. It was said that it is possible to cure cancer by killing the cells in the affected area by fasting. Moreover, there are many health benefits of fasting.

The way I spent my first fast.

I once again thank Allah that I have observed the first fast with good health and correctness. It is normal for all of us to observe the first fast very beautifully and not to miss any of the deeds. On the occasion of the first fast, the night prayer of Esha has to be performed with Tarabih. Yesterday I was in town and wanted to stay at village house for the month of Ramadan. So last night I came back from city at the right time because if it was a little late maybe I could not perform Tarabi prayers.

After performing Tarabi's prayers, I fell asleep exercising like other nights. But I have to wake up early last night and complete seheri and perform the Fajr prayers which I performed properly. It is time for me to start exercising after finishing the prayers. After that I stayed at home till noon and did some small things that I like to do.

Then the time came for the noon prayers which after performing properly I went straight home and rested for a while and then I felt very sleepy. Then I fell asleep and after waking up I went to the mosque with some of my friends to perform Asr prayers.

After performing Asr prayers, I stayed at home with my younger niece till Maghrib prayers because at that time my mother and sister were cooking together so it was my responsibility to see my niece. Then comes the special moment when Iftar begins. This Iftar is one of the most special moments of fasting in a day. We enjoy this time very much and the moment of special prayer after fasting.

Then I was the only one who did all the Iftar activities. I like to do it. After completing Iftar, I perform Maghrib prayers and this is how I completed my first fast.

Closing thoughs.

The Ramadan month is the same for all Muslims. However, there are some differences between the poor, middle class and rich families in certain cases, such as food eaten during Seheri and Iftar. I have said many times before that we are middle class. Moreover, we all observe the Ramadan month in same way. The rest is up to me, but so is the mention of luxury.

In the Ramadan month we should pray to Allah and ask for forgiveness. And I always pray for everyone and for you too. However, may Allah heal us all and accept the first fast of all. And again Ramadan Mubarak to everyone.

Thank you for reading. 🙂
