اجعل هذا البلد آمناً

Hello, if anyone is reading this please remember me and my my family in your prayers these last nights of Ramadan.

So I accidentally read the Ramadan timetable wrong and ate after I was meant to stop eating. I was upset because I've been so focused this Ramadan on my spirituality and I hated that I made a silly mistake. I asked my mom if it was okay and she told me "any time you eat by mistake while fasting it is a gift from God and your fast still counts" and I'm about to cry honestly. Sometimes I'm so consumed with how powerful God is that I forget how merciful he is. I made a mistake. I didn't look at the time carefully. I was distracted. But God grants me this extra sip of water as a gift. I took it as a punishment for being so distracted that my fast would count for less but no it was His gift. I was distracted and didn't eat or drink when I was supposed to so he gifted me those extra few minutes where I didn't realize what time it was as a gift. I'm in awe.

I have a list of individuals who are sick that I pray for as often as I can and in nearly all my prayers. Many of them sick with cancer and other horrible illnesses. For a long time, it seemed like the list kept getting shorter because all those I was praying for were dying.

دنيا بس قهر متنحمل ولا تنجرع
