Being A Good Muslim By # 1.4

Me Fasting

      I started to fast when I was in kindergarten or 5 years old. I felt really great because I just started to do a new pillar of Islam.

      When I was in kindergarten at the year 2006, I fasted 10 days. The first time I fasted, I felt really hungry but yet really happy. During school, my teacher didn’t let me fast because she said that I would get hungry and get sick. My mom told me to fast and bring food in case I get hungry. So from that day until the last day of Ramadan I fasted and brought food to school. I tried to fast the whole month, but I couldn’t do it so in total I fasted 10 days.

      After a year past, I went to 1st grade. When I was in 1st grade I fasted 19 days. Even though I didn’t fast the whole month, I did fast nine more days then last year. I felt a little bit happier because I fasted more. Again, the teacher still told me to bring food in case I get hungry.

      This year I promised my mom that I’d try to fast the whole month of Ramadan. If I don’t do it, I’ll still try my best to fast. Including waking up early for Suhur. That’s mostly why I don’t fast.

      Weather or not I fast this whole Ramadan, InshaAllah, Allah (SWT) will reward me for fasting. Also, I’m going to do whatever it takes to try and fast the whole Ramadan for the first time.
