Assalamualaikum!
Here it is ladies, The PreRamadan Podcast as promised!
This will be a 3 episode mini-series where we cover some of the typical questions we hear this time around!
"Are you ready for Ramadan?"
"How do you prepare for Ramadan?"
"What do you do to prepare?"
For many of us, this time of the year (Pre-Ramadan) can cause a lot of stress and anxiety and a feeling of being overwhelmed! My co-host Andrea and I sit down and chat about how to approach Ramadan as well as we share some simple tips on how you can enter into the blessed month gracefully and exiting Ramadan without burnout!
Grab your cup of Halal Goodness (before you can't!) and join us for this week's PreRamadan Episode!

A lot of us, including myself have assumed at least once in our lives, as Muslims, that our relationship with Allah is supposed to be a transactional one. I do this, so Allah should give me this. I asked for this, so Allah should give me what I asked for. I gave up this so Allah should replace me with this...so on and so forth...
The reason why we often feel so much pain is because we put ourselves in the centre of everything. There is a sense of entitlement that goes along with our worship. But what we forget is that our only true purpose in this life is to worship Allah alone, obey Him and glorify and praise Him.
When the ego gets in the way, it is hard to realise this. That is why many leave Islam (may Allah protect me and all of us Ameen!), many give up prayer, many stop pleasing Allah and end up disobeying Him...At the end of the day, this doesn't harm anyone except for yourself because the reality is, Allah doesn't need us, Allah is free of need from His creations...WE need Allah and when we fail to recognize that because of our own ego and thinking that everything should revolve around US, we lose sight of what the true meaning of Islam and being a Muslim is all about.
