I’m normally so bad at fasting. Headaches, nausea, brain refusing to work. Alhumdulillah this years fast have been so easy for me.

Eat the right foods at suhoor. Get at least 4 full glasses of water in. Take a multi. drink coffee if you’re addicted like me. Take an excedrin. I do for headaches. And a banana.

Yes sorry I meant 4 full glasses in a day. I drink 2 at suhoor and 2 after iftar. Greek yogurt is good too for some extra protein. I eat a few spoons with the banana.

Lol same here. Stomach making weird noises

Keep yourself busy. Time will go fast

uplifting

Try not to look at clock too much
Keep distracted
Remember why you are fasting, and what the needy go through everyday

I find after first 10 days of fasting, it gets easier, just your body getting accustomed to it

uplifting

And of course remembering the why

A question from a youngster. Is working at a big big company with slightly low pay better or working at a much smaller company with higher pay better?

In the future, after a few years, let’s say I’m at a small company and want to switch to big big company, will the “small names” hurt my chance to get into the big doors?

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.

The older I get and the more I think about raising my own children, I keep thinking how can parents frame religious duties like fasting as something to look forward to.

How can one make Ramadan and Eid something to look forward to when holidays like Christmas seem to be purely joyous occasion that one doesn’t have to put in work for like fasting for Ramadan?

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 🫶🏻!
