I'm not sure I've ever been excited about Ramadhan. Or it's been a while since I have.
I've been unable to fast for the past few years due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. But unfortunately I suffer from something called migraine belly . I do have pain in my head but my main symptom is the gastric stasis they speak of, which basically means that my stomach stops digesting. So I have to take I migraine tablet at the slightest hint of one.
To top it off the cause of my migraines are not eating properly.
Now if I didn't have children I could stay in bed or deal with the symptoms. But I cannot function properly when I have an attack.
It feels like such a cop out :( I know inshaAllah I'm excused from fasting, but this is a fundamental pillar of Islam.
I'm going to try to enter into the spirit of Ramadhan in every other way!
InshaAllah i'd like to experience Ramadhan and Eid in an Islamic country one day as I don't really know how big a deal it is.
So part of my list for this Ramadhan:
Read the Quran.
More Islam Channel
Talk to the kids about what i'm reading in the Quran, and the meaning of Ramadhan
Be nice!
Act like a Muslim
Prayers, prayers,prayers!!!!!
