first of Ramadan
just a quick update on the first day of Ramadan yesterday. Well, what more is there to say but alhamdullilah it went ok...easy really. Woke up for sehri with my mama just cracking us up with stories about random stuff- hopefully laffing does not invalidate your fastin?!! Mama left for Luton in the morning with iftar time being while he's on board RyanAir- apparantly they were making a fuss about him taking dates and bottled water on board. Anyway, he managed to get home safe and sound to Germany.
Oh, what did happen to me in the morning is what makes me hate 'muslims' or 'Pakis/Bengalis'!! I've had this experience before and i wonder whether muslims take this month seriously at all?!! I've been around ppl who don't fast, have them in my family, but this is next level!! So it goe like this- some guys rings for my parents at 11am. Both were out so i told him to ring back. His voice sounded familiar so he asked me how i was doing just to make conversation. He asked me if i knew who he was and i obviously replied 'yes' but neither of us said who he actually was. He then asked me what i was doing- may Allah (swt) forgive me but i was watching Lizzy Maguire with Amani. He didn't seem to know who Amani was...which was strange...he couldn't have forgotten her name already?!! Anyway...i then asked him what he was doing and where he was?....he then replied that he had the wrong number. I was so embarrased!! Thank God he couldn't see my face. I was about to put down the phone when he asked me my age. Stupid me replied. Then i said bye and was about to put down the phone when STUPID-him asked me for coffee. What?!! Did he not know what day it was?!! What...did he forget?!! I just said no...couldn't be bothered t give him a half hour lecture on what this month is about, like the last time i got asked out over the phone during Ramadan!
Anyway, apart from that little hiccup the day went swimmingly. Cleaned the house- inshaAllah will get reward for the hard work. Did lots of missions picking and dropping ppl off places- this is what happens when you have a car. Couldn't find a place nearby to read taraweeh....or a place that accomadates women but alahmdullilah have found one now. Does it make a difference if the masjid you pray at started the day after you did...can you still read taraweeh at that masjid?
gtg- iftar in 10mins. Mums cooked kichuri (mushy rice) today- yummy!!!!
