The "Shawwal" Fasts

Fasting outside Ramadan is sooo hard. That Sabr you had during Ramadan just disappears.

Waking up in the morning is like mission impossible... especially when no-one in your house wants to fast that day and so you're on your own.

At uni when everyone's sipping their warm tea or hot chocolate (or smelly coffee), all you can do is sit in a little corner and watch....and listen to your stomach rumble!

At lunch your friends keep apologising while digging into their metre long Subway sandwich. Why do they apologise? (That to me has neva made sense)

But you know what makes it worse?..... The fact that you're not keeping the Shawwal fasts, but the other ones. I don't know why that makes it harder. It just does.

EDIT: Maybe it's harder cos you know you're not gonna get the reward you get for Shawwal fasts (reward for fasting six days = reward for fasting the whole year).... and in order to get that reward you have to keep an extra six fasts....men are sooo lucky! :D

Ah only a few more to go..... I can do it....Inshallah...
