Assalamualaikum
and Hi!
Ramadhan
has come.^_^! I am super jolly as i still having chances for having a
beautiful Ramadhan again in Egypt. This is my third year since 2011. However, this
year seem quite different from previous past years. I don't know which part make it
different. Maybe the situation? Ermm, since there was huge political crisis started since last week, I tend to read people face and mind. I can tell who is supporting whom. Their expression can tell meh.....
My first day of Ramadhan, I'm kind of no expression today as i'm having exam. I'm quite tired and loitering with this lad!

| Yeah! U did it! |

| Then, shy again .. huhu.. |

Stomach growl while fasting? Wish you could eat instead? Consider the following:
So the next time you feel even the slightest bit of hunger coming from your stomach in the middle of the day, tell your stomach to “Bring it!” That’s because you are fasting for the sake of Allah (SWT) alone and nothing can beat that. Once your stomach realizes your intentions are pure, your hunger quickly submerges.It’s food for the soul!
It's been said that the Prophet (S.A.W) sometimes used to continuously fast to which we were told something along the lines of, “I am not like anyone of you. During the night, my Lord provides me with food and drink.” Ibn Qayyim broke down this statement into two possible scenarios. The first was that the Prophet (S.A.W) was literally provided with food and the second was that there was spiritual nourishment. The second opinion seems stronger as Ibn Qayyim goes on to explain it in the following excerpt:
[start quote] “…and those who have even the slightest bit of experience and longing know how little the body needs much physical nourishment when it is instead provided with the nourishment of the heart and soul, let alone when it comes to the one who is joyous, happy, and victorious because he has reached the One he has sought out, and whose eye is cooled by his Beloved, and feels blessed with His closeness, and is pleased with Him and the bounties and gifts of his Beloved.
And His protection showers him at all times, and his Beloved is constantly tending to his affairs, being as Generous as can be with complete Love towards him – is this not the greatest nourishment for the one who loves his Lord? So, how would it be when love of the Beloved – than Whom nothing is more exalted, and nothing is greater in might, and nothing is greater in beauty, and nothing is more complete, and nothing is greater in kindness – when love of Him fills the heart, and love of him takes over all regions of his heart and limbs, and love of Him is as firmly established as can be?
And this is his condition with the One he loves…
Today, my mama(landlord) just give me and my friend, a plate of sweet in celebrating of 1st Ramadhan. (Again, a plate of sweet~ borinnggg..... ) Peoples here like to eat sweat as long as they are happy. Alhamdulillah, and thanks mama..:)
All I want to do is wishing you a Happy Ramadhan month!
A lovely message from daily reminder fb page: (are you having the same condition as me right now?)

So, is such a person not nourished night and day by his Beloved?” [end quote] [not a hadith]
Ramadhan Kareem!..
