In this episode, I want to share my experience of fasting during my very first Ramadan back in 2013 when I was a brand new Muslim. My first Ramadan was challenging for me, but overcame the challenges and learnt from my mistake and I hope my story will help new muslim reverts or people who want to convert to Islam as the fast for the first time this Ramadan. Ramadan is a month of fasting and self-reflection. It is a time for Muslims to take stock of their lives and reflect on their actions. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which can last as long as 29 or 30 days based on the sighting of the moon. The Islamic calendar follows a lunar cycle, so Ramadan moves back approximately 10 days every year. Fasting during Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It's also called “The Month of Fasting” because it requires Muslims to abstain from food, drink, smoking, sex, and other worldly pleasures during daylight hours. Some people fast for up to 20 hours each day during Ramadan! Fasting can be beneficial for your health as it helps you lose weight, improves your immune system, lowers blood pressure, and increases brain function and promotes self-discipline. Fasting is a time when we are normally more mindful and introspective about our lives. It gives us an opportunity to reflect on our priorities, values, and goals in life.
