“Appreciation in
Ramadan (and afterwards too, insha’Allah)” |
|
Among many other lessons, Ramadan reminds us
to give thanks for what we have. This was
my first Ramadan fasting as a Muslim. By
the end of the month, I had a new
appreciation for food. It’s amazing how
much I took food and water for granted
before. I realized it on the very first
day, when I passed a water fountain and
began drinking from it without a thought
about it. After a sip I realized that I was
supposed to be fasting. That shows how
little I thought about what I took. In the
late afternoons (between asr and maghrib) I
couldn’t think straight from hunger. This
was very telling as to what those who don’t
have food must undergo. I can’t imagine
having to go very much longer than the
twelve hours we subjected ourselves to. I
am truly blessed, thank God.
