Eid Mubarak 2 all and Ramadan Reflections

As salaamu alikum 2 all my fellow bloggers. It's been about a month since I posted any thing up and in a way that's a good thing . I needed 2 take a break from posting anything during Ramadan. So now that I'm back, I would like 2  put up some reflections that I have learned during Ramadan.

1. Fasting- this ramadan, I have improved on my fasting and learned to give myself some slack. Instead of doing cold turkey fasting, which I lasted only two weeks, I fasted every three days and fed the hungry when I could.
2. Reading Quran- I  finally got a list of what the 30 parts (aka Juz) of the quran are and started reading them in order. I completed 29 of the 30 Juz of Quran. 
3. First times - for the first time, I stayed for the night of power (I lasted til 1 am ) and I spent the last ten day in a masjid, reading quran and learning more islamic lessons along the way.

I survived Ramadan and did slightly better than I did last year, mashaallah. Until next Ramadan...

Jazakallah Karem,
Muslimah
