This year looked different. Ramadan met me in a season of overwhelm; anxious, unprepared, and unsure. Yet, I leaned into Allah, Ar-Rahman, Al-Hakim: The Most Merciful, The Most Wise. Though I wanted to step away, Allah gave me the strength to simply show up. What He allowed me to write became five reflections from the first days of Ramadan; a gentle reminder that even in difficulty, His mercy makes room for what is meant to be.
