Waking up today for suhoor. Praying fajr. Reciting the Quran. Reading my morning Azkar. Watching the sun rise. Finally publishing that newsletter. That post-dawn nap. Crocheting while watching 1 episode of my favorite series. Reflecting on the story of Umm Waraqah the martyr. Praying Dhuhr. Listening to Surah Maryam as I clean my room. Having a reflective conversation with my friends about our goals this Ramadan. Praying Asr. Reciting the Quran. Reciting Dhikr as I Prepare Iftar. Reading my evening Azkar. Watching the sun set. The taste of dates as I break my fast. The cool rush of water down my dry throat. Praying Maghrib. The aroma of my iftar meal. Watching barzakh and beyond as I devour my meal. Talking to my family during iftar, hearing their laughter through the phone. Stargazing as I walk to the masjid for Isha and Taraweeh. Praying Taraweeh. Finally lying down on my bed and scrolling through social media for 20mins. Reading a chapter of “the soul’s journey after death” by ibn Qayyim. Smiling at the only comment on my last post. Editing and publishing this newsletter. Reading my sleep Azkar. Falling asleep.
Special shoutout to Tiya’s Love Letter, which inspired me to write this short newsletter.
