Fasting & Feasting: From one extreme to another
Human beings, ever fasting and feasting on the slippery road to moderation... As the Muslim holy month of Ramadan draws to a close, Muslims are reflecting on the month of fasting and celebrating "Eid Al Fitr”. (Think of Easter, following the deprivations of Lent).
It’s a time for Muslims around the world to come together with family/friends and, spiritually refreshed, process the lessons learned during Ramadan. Eid Mubarak (Blessed Eid) to those who observe and Peace to All 🙏🏼
I think sometimes, talking about fasting, I unfortunately get caught up in the action of fasting rather than devote my body and well-being to G-d.
Like, for one fast, I stuffed my face full of nachos close to the midnight when I was supposed to start, which I definitely don't recommend.
It's wonderful to see and appreciate the similarities across all our faith. You're a blessing, Yahia. :D
Bless your heart, little brother. Really heartening to read this & feel closer to you on account of it.
We starve the noisy body to feed the quiet of the spirit. That’s the intention and, when we’re lucky, it works. Grace is not earned, but granted 🙏🏼♥️💫
The human being has always sought God in some way. It is a feeling that carries in your heart from birth. The search for spirituality is a concern around the world. each manifests according to their custom and traditions
I agree, deeply. Here’s an essay where I explore this subject. ✨🙏🏼💫
Eid Mubarak! Enjoy the celebrations :)
Bless you :) Hope this finds your heart at ease ❤️
Wishing you and your family a very happy and blessed Eid Mubarak. May this Eid brings peace in this world.
Amen, from your lips to His ears 🙏🏼 Wishing you & yours love & Light.
I already miss Ramadan. It passed very fast and didn't feel it. Eid Fitr Mubarak 😁
It does fly by, once we establish a rhythm. May you reap the rewards of your good deeds 🙏🏼
Happy Eid Mubarak @yahialababidi, Allah blesing us
Bless your heart, brother 🙏🏼
عيد فطر مبارك لك أيضا :)
