Ramadan Mubarak to everyone celebrating this wonderful month and It’s OK Really, We Manage Quite Well Without Food and Yes, Even Water and No, if You are Going to Die You Don’t Have to Fast and Children are also Exempt and It’s Really Only In Daylight Hours So Please Stop Stressing On Our Behalf and We Won’t Mind If You Eat In Front of Us, REALLY for everyone who isn’t celebrating.
I’m not going on a complete blog fast but I will be keeping my online time to a minimum.
The boys and I raced around yesterday after Maghrib salat (sunset prayer) scrambled into the car and headed to the best vantage point to see the new moon. Alas, we missed it but today it was as clear as day. “It looks like a NAIL!, “shouted my 3 year old. “A BITTEN NAIL!” Yes the most beautiful bitten nail ever. Most of Brisbane is starting the fast on Friday which is a bonus since we always end up fasting later than everyone else (Our masjid is a big moonsighting one – no comments from the peanut gallery thanks.) I just hope Eid day is the same.

Ramadhan Mubarak to all of you.
Ramadan Mubarak.
I love the first bit!! I’ve had one of my children SENT home from school today because she was feeling the strain (”you know she REALLY should eat something,then she’d be fine!”) and I was called into my son’s school 3 times to deal with him because he was all tearful – although I do have to say the Primary School did handle it better than the patronizing secretary at the Secondary School!
Anyway,may ALLAH bless you and your family and accept your fasts,prayers and dua inshALLAH.
Now that I’m over my jetlag, I’ll wish you Ramadan Mubarak (instead of Eid Mubarak)!
Ramadan Mubarak to you and your family, dear Sister
Ya Haqq!
