My colleagues were shocked you can’t even have water during fasts. To me this was a reflection about our discipline - Alhamdulillah we have this opportunity to demonstrate it. What other lessons do you feel from Ramadan?

Holding your tongue during Ramadan shows much more restraint than avoiding water.

Trying to make a spiritual connection with God and prioritizing charity is also important.

I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!
