Assalamu Alaykum,

Congratulations and may Allah SWT accept your fasting insha'Allah. This is kind of a good practice for you since Ramadan is here, alhamduillah.

Salaamalaikum waa rahmatullahi waa barakatahu sister tree

May Allah swt accept your fasts and make it easy for you. Ameen

And Congratulations on your first fast. People usually do a half day fast and you did a full one in the summer (the day is longer). It's a great feat and you should be proud.

You have our support.

Walaikumsalaam waa rahmatullahi waa barakatahu..

Can I know what is the length of day in summer? I am curious to know because I did not have experienced any summer in my whole life.

As salamo alaikome....

The adhan for the Fajr prayer went off at 5:11am and I woke up......performed wudu and said my Fajr prayer then I ate something and then I did ghusl and prayed 2 additional rakah for beginning my fast. I began the fast probably was 5:45am just before the sun rose. The fast was over at 9:15pm just after praying my Maghrib prayer. I prayed first then I ate. So basically I fasted 16 hours altogether from 5:30am until 9:30pm. I am very proud of myself for being able to do it.

16 HOURS???????????? I have never thought of it. We usually have 12hrs and 15 minutes in a day.

That is so great. May Allah (subuhaanahu wata'aala) reward you abundantly my Ukhti.

Masha'Allah.. 16 hours for your first fast !.. Sister, you should be proud. Well done !

As ramadaan aproaches, the day will get a bit more shorter so that's a plus.

I can imagine that it's a very special day for you that you are going to cherish for sometime to come.

I did it for our beloved prophet (sal allahu alayhi wa salam) because I never did anything for him before.

Not to make a big deal out of it but I heard that when you break the fast and you pray dua most of the time the dua is answered so I made it a point to pray dua for EVERYONE in this thread who supported me during my fast.

I just want to tell you all how very special you are to me and I pray that Allah will accept my fast especially if he answers my dua for all of YOU my brothers and sisters in Islam.

it is makruh sis, u should break fast first with simple lite meal/drink then u go pray. It is not good to delay breaking fast coz u also cant focus in pray with empty stomach. Anyway Mashallah u are amazing sis... u really made it

Yes I know I did the whole thing backwards and found out AFTER it was all over but I still feel pretty good for just DOING it at all!!!!

I learned that I am supposed to eat the meal in the morning BEFORE the Fajr adhan and not afterwards like I did and then to break the fast Im supposed to eat the food BEFORE to pray and AFTER the Maghrib adhan but Im just learning everything and even though I am a bit backwards I think Allah will forgive me since it was my first time and really I had no idea what I was doing to begin with.

Besides my mother always told me I was BORN backwards (I was a breech baby.....meaning I was born feet first instead of head first like normal babies hahahahahaha so this is typical for me.........everything backwards!!!).
