I am fasting today, in part for Ramadan and my friend Omar Kaikati. I like the idea that it reminds people what its like to be poor. I like that you celebrate the end of your day of hunger together by breaking fast and sharing a meal with friends and family. Being fortunate enough to never go hungry in my life. I think its a honourable thing to do. Particularly for rich people, you can see how it would keep people grounded and not take things for granted. The money I saved today by not eating I will buy a meal for a couple of homeless people, that will feel rewarding also. Also if I am honest, I feel like I have to try to compensate for the disgusting prejudice against nice British Muslims and embrace things about their culture I find admirable not just the things I dislike. I really admire the people who fast for a whole month, what a sacrifice! I am dreading today as its only 9:15am and I am already hungry (OBV) thirsty and desperate for a cup of coffee. I wont be eating or drinking till at least 9:15pm. assalamualaikum ✌️
