Ramadan Vlog Fasting for the First Time (as a non-muslim)
ABOUT THIS VIDEO
This was my first time being in a Muslim country (Saudi Arabia) for the period of Ramadan, so I decided to participate in solidarity with my Muslim friends, with the aim of learning more about the traditions observed by over 1.8 billion muslims around the world. I wanted to take this opportunity to share my honest experience and the positive information I learnt about Ramadan with everyone, especially with my non-Muslim friends. I hope you enjoy this Ramavlog!
I had an eye opening experience trying Ramadan fasting for the first time. I have done food fasts and intermittent fasting before but never have I ever experienced a dry fast without water! It was a struggle and such a test of my self control but I am so pleased I did it! I now have nothing but respect for the Muslims who fast for 30 days every single year; especially those who do so during exam periods, whilst doing mentally and physically demanding jobs and whilst labouring all day in the scorching sun!
Throughout the period of Ramadan 2020 (when this video was filmed) I initially managed four fasting days without water... then three with water… then I took a break for a couple of weeks... and I jumped back on board again for the last week! Nowhere near perfect, but not bad for a first try! Would I do it again? Yes! Am I fasting this year for Ramadan 2021? No, because I am pregnant, but I’m sure I will participate again in the future. Adam is fasting again this year and he has been going strong for 2 weeks now!
Overall, I learnt that Ramadan is so much more than just fasting. It teaches you to be grateful for everything you have in your life and to be more empathetic towards people less fortunate than you. It is about reflection, prayer and meditation. It’s a time dedicated towards connecting to yourself, to others, to God and to the world around you. It is an opportunity to become aware of your negative habits and a time to develop new positive behaviours so that you can work on becoming a better person. It’s quite beautiful really.
I’m feeling very grateful for the opportunity to learn more about the Islamic religion and culture. I can highly recommend other Non-Muslims try this out. Muslim or not, I think that this is something that everyone can benefit from. If you have never tried it before, I challenge you to participate, even if only for one day! At least now you know what to expect now. And to those of you who are currently fasting, Ramadan Mubarak! Tell me how it is going 🙏.
