Happy weekend, Nigerians!🥰 I hope we're all having a swell weekend. Though I was indisposed during the Eid celebrations and couldn't join in the merriment, I must mention that I've always admired the intentionality of Muslims during Ramadan. My oldest neighbours are Muslims and during each fasting period, I learn both patience and discipline from them.
Seeing how dedicated they usually are during Ramadan and even less performative, fasting from dusk to dawn, in a bid to get more closer to Allah, I make it my responsibility to help them achieve this goal. I ensure not to make raw jokes around them, tempt them with my meals or use any type of curse words when engaging with them. During Ramadan, my family also supported them with evening meals to break their fast on some days, and they were most grateful for the gesture. Seeing them being appreciative of the little things even after all these years makes all the difference and I wish every Muslim continous growth in their spiritual journey.
