Ramadan for me
Salam aliakum. Ramadan Mubarrak to all.
This is a strange Ramadan for us. We used to have community dinners every Saturday for the families but they stopped them due to the wear and tear of our mesjid with the crowds and people taking advantage. People would come and eat, but not clean up or stay and pray isha/taraweeh. It got trashed. So, I miss those alot but I understand why they did it. We are having a new community center/school built but who knows when that will finish. inshallah. Also, noone is inviting people for iftars. that I know of. And taraweeh runs so late that people cant go when they have to work the next day. I have been 3x so far but I just stay home and pray. (Im a sister, so thats ok).
We have had some family issues this past week that have caused turmoil and upset to our family structure(no deaths, alhumduillah). so its been difficult in that respect. I have been going through some depression because of it. Inshallah this weekend, things will improve again and get back to normal.
I still do my prayers on time, much better now alhumduillah and fast but I sleep alot too.guess its the depression.
well, take care all.
Your sister in Islam.
