Just a word about yesterday, day two. Another wonderful day of fasting and night of prayer. There was a slight trouble with the lights, fans and mic'ing of the Imam during taraweed. Alhamdulillah, this all worked out quickly. It did get rather hot for the first four rakah, and then rather loud for the fifth and sixth. There was a very powerful dua at the end that made me wish I understood more arabic than I do.
The last two and a half hours of the day are the hardest, though from my conversations with some of the other brothers this is a common experience.
Alhamdulillah, the first two days of my first Ramadan were the weekend allowing me to settle in to the new experience. My fall semester starts today, another joy.

ReplyDeletemonday night iftar: remnants from Abdullah's plus some baked tilapia. I managed to eat too much again, hopefully tomorrow I can tone that down inshallah. Up too late tonight, hung around the masjid drinking moroccan chai and snacking on dates, alhamdulillah.
