Ramadan Reflection and Advice: Day 2
So I didn't blog for day one, but ALHAMDULILAH by the permission of Allah (God) I made it to Ramadan and if you are reading this you made it too. If you are non-Muslim it might be hard to understand the excitement. Ramadan is the month when the Quran, the holy book for Muslims, was sent down. It is a month of fasting with the expectation that we may become "God-conscious" which means to be aware that Allah has knowledge of all that you do. He "sees" you per se. And when I say "he" I don't mean to say that God has a gender, but this is the way I must speak in English. Being aware that God is watching you should cause you to be careful in your actions. So a person due to this conscious of God should try his/her best to do what God has commanded and stay away from what God has forbidden. " O Believers! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you so that you may adopt God-consciousness" Suratul Baqarah 1:183. When a person is conscious of God they become filled with so much peace. They are not burdened by sins. This is not to say that they don't sin. But because of their constant striving to be conscious of God, when they do fall into sin they immediately desist from the sin and repent. This draws a person close to God. Being close to God is an indescribable feeling. I cannot say that I have truly felt it myself. But I have felt flashes of it, such that get even a taste makes you want to strive for it your whole life. So yeah I might feel thirsty, my stomach might growl a growling that could make the even the fiercest lion go "meow" but being obedient to Allah brings peace and joy so this is what I hope to achieve inshaAllah (God willing). Yeah so for the advice. Please don't eat too much when you break your fast. It makes taraweeh difficult and it's not good for your body. Also, check out this lecture "Fasting and the Furious: How to Drive Your Motivation Throughout Ramadan" Oh and funny thing, well not so funny somehow I thought that I just had to read 6-7 pages of Quran each day to complete the entire Quran. Hahaha yeah...I was off by alot. I need to read about 20 pages each day, which would be 4 pages after each prayer if you want to stay on a schedule. This month is our "second chance". It might be our last chance. Let's change for the better now while it is easy.

Is Anyone Here?
Okay so I don't know if anyone still comes here. But if anyone does, I have not fell off the face of the earth. I just took an extremely long break to think, think, and think some more.
Updates:
Photography:
I just figured out that my camera isn't crap alhamdulilah. All this time I have been taking pictures for my shop and I was never able to get anything good. But macro, manual, and lighting settings and the mercy of Allah changed all of that.
Etsy Shop:
I have updated my photos, thus giving justice to my work, because the pictures before simply did not do any justice. I added some new pins and I will continue to do so iA.
Sewing:
Sewing is sew much fun. hehe. I hope to be putting some purses up soon iA. I just have to make them first. But, before that I to figure out how to make them, which translates into hours of research in addition to countless hours that I have already put in. You should see how many bookmarks that I have for reference purposes. :P
Exercising:
Seriously we should take care of ourselves. Think about when someone gives you something. How you treat it is how grateful you are to have what was given to you. Now, our bodies were not given to us by some mere person, but rather they were given to us by Allah. So will we be grateful? Probably, the simplest way towards good health is following the Quran and sunnah. In the Quran we learn that we should eat tayyib food, which is food that is good and pure and permissible. So eat halal food, that is nutritious. Okay and for the sunnah 1/3 air, 1/3 water, 1/3 food. And because of our modern lifestyle we don't do much physical activity so you should add that in there. I started exercising not too long ago. I'm trying to be consistent. We'll see what happens.
Learning:
I've been learning a lot these past weeks. Trying to implement the beneficial knowledge.
Okay that's all that I care to share. (ooOOOOoo a rhyme)
peace :)
