Sam’s Hangout #105 - “RAMADAN REFLECTIONS”

Happy weekend, Nigerians!🥰 I hope we're all having a swell weekend. Though I was indisposed during the Eid celebrations and couldn't join in the merriment, I must mention that I've always admired the intentionality of Muslims during Ramadan. My oldest neighbours are Muslims and during each fasting period, I learn both patience and discipline from them.

Seeing how dedicated they usually are during Ramadan and even less performative, fasting from dusk to dawn, in a bid to get more closer to Allah, I make it my responsibility to help them achieve this goal. I ensure not to make raw jokes around them, tempt them with my meals or use any type of curse words when engaging with them. During Ramadan, my family also supported them with evening meals to break their fast on some days, and they were most grateful for the gesture. Seeing them being appreciative of the little things even after all these years makes all the difference and I wish every Muslim continous growth in their spiritual journey.

Happy weekend fam.❤️

As a Muslim it will be very bad of me to skip this topic.
Happy weekend to you all once again.

Ramadan is a season of decipline. A month of self improvement.
And I'm glad I achieved all that during this Ramadan period.

One of the steps I took was consistently observing my prayers, ensuring my rak'ahs wee observed at the right time.
I also ensure to recite the Qur'an. I won't lie it wasn't that easy or simple.
There were times of temptation, battling with myself internally, while Trying to improve myself.

Sometimes I get tired and angry or irritated especially when the clock seems it's not moving.😂😂😂
But I will remind myself that Ramadan is not just about not eating for hours, but it is also about controlling my thoughts, words, and emotions.

I think before I speak,
I choose silence when I'm overwhelmed because I don't want my next actions to be harsh.
I stayed away from conversations that might lead to negative thoughts or behaviour.

All this does not make me feel being forced or pretence.
It thought me self control, decipline, patience.
And all these are needed in our daily life not just Ramadan.
Thank you for reading until the end.☺️🙏
Ramadan kareem ❤️

Who goes 🧐

Happy weekend everyone 🥳🎈💕.
Make sure to step jejely.
Don't match me.
Waka jeje

Happy Weekend, Guys🥰

Hello everyone!

happy weekend my people, i hope you're doing okay, to all my muslims brothers and sisters greetings to you all, its that time of the year, again

i don't really pay attention to these festivity cause I'm a Christian but then i know for a fact that it's a period of purification, sober reflection and sharing love and kindness between one another.

i was just home enjoying the holidays , some of my Muslims friends already had traveled home, but i recall last year a Muslim friend of mine was around he arranged some merriment for us it was a great time ...

it was a great time .....

how did you enjoy the times

We're here again!

Happy weekend people of this hangout.

Happy weekend everyone.

I know how special the Ramadan period is for my Muslim friends. I also joined to felicitate with them during Eid.

I only had the chance of having Muslim friends during my service year. Currently, we are far from each other, but I reached out to them through test messages and calls. The only time I had an opportunity to merry with them was my service year, and I enjoyed the celebration with them last year.

So, during the fasting period, I tried my best to maintain peace like always, am a man of peace so it wasn't as if I feigned it.. I was just me. But then, I tried as much as possible to not say or do things that might affect their fast or make it not acceptable cos I can be very naughty at times 😂😂🫣.

Also, during this eid that just passed, I should a little bit of kindness by buying the bottle of coke for the kids around, even though I had to ask two person to share one bottle, they are much and me sef no too carry 😁🫣. But I gave one of them something, just a small thing when I heard you completed his fast without breaking any of it...it amazed me.

Some of my neighbors who knew I was a Corper brought food which I had to later give out not because of the eid celebration but because I don't eat out (whether ya a Christian or Muslim, I don't eat out). My neighbors already knew me for that so they didn't even bother to give me food, they gave me malt drinks though 😉😉😉, same goes with my students and I still have up to like 5 or 6 bottles of coke at home(both big and small)

Oya take mic 🎤

I can't really relate with this topic cos I didn't find myself in that situation.
But still, I know that before, during or after the period, I didn't get involved in anything that could disrupt their fast or tempt them to attempt breaking it.
Unless they're close to my locust beans fried pepper sha, the aroma can be disturbing

I am not a Muslim but i do welcome amd converse so friendly and happily with our Muslim brothers whenever we meet and the Ramadan was not an exception.

Happy Owanbe Saturday, my people.🎉💃

Happy palm Sunday guys!

What's going on in these posts @samostically?

I noticed your vote on these and that it mentions there's another author but why are you the recipient of the rewards? What does the author get for writing these posts? Why are there no curation on the comment section?

Looking in without knowing it seems you're trying to extract as much rewards as possible at the cost of others who don't seem to be rewarded in any way I can tell from outgoing transactions, etc, except for a vote or two on the top comment here from the author.

It's a bit suspicious to say the least.
