Ramadan
Ramadan, the holy month observed by Muslims worldwide
Ramadan, the holy month observed by Muslims worldwide, holds profound benefits for both the support of Quranic teachings and scientific understanding. During Ramadan, Muslims engage in fasting from dawn until sunset, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs. This practice fosters spiritual growth, discipline, and reflection on Quranic teachings.
The Quran, the holy book of Islam, emphasizes the importance of seeking knowledge and understanding the universe. Fasting during Ramadan allows believers to focus on studying and reflecting upon the Quranic verses, deepening their understanding of the universe's creation, the laws governing it, and the role of humanity within it.
Moreover, scientific research has shown various health benefits associated with fasting, including improved metabolic health, enhanced cognitive function, and cellular repair processes. As Muslims engage in fasting during Ramadan, they experience firsthand the physical benefits of this practice, aligning with both Quranic teachings and scientific understanding.
Overall, Ramadan serves as a time for Muslims to strengthen their spiritual connection, deepen their understanding of Quranic principles, and experience the physical benefits supported by scientific research, thereby fostering a harmonious integration of faith and knowledge.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.

Silence
Poem that gives me strenght on hard times.. Sometimes, one needs to distance oneself to get closer; sometimes, one needs to remember to be remembered; sometimes, one needs to cry to open up; sometimes, one needs to commemorate to be commemorated. Sometimes, it is necessary to remain silent to hear, for if speaking excessively were beneficial, we would have two mouths and one ear. Therefore, it is essential to listen more and speak less. The brightness of silent can overshadow speech, as both the light of silence and the benefit of speech are concealed within it. I understand that everything that happens eventually falls silent. I understand that silence is profound and majestic. Let our silence speak volumes; let's find a language without words within ourselves, where only the two of us understand the sorrow. My heart, refrain from expressing too much; the more you express, the more your heart swells, making it harder to wait and increasing anxiety. My heart, speak less so our affairs may mature, so no wrongful words may be uttered in the sight of truth. My heart, remain silent like the letter 'alif'; spring is almost here. Endure, my heart, like the unseen waves within the sea; if there were any other solution besides waiting, believe me, it wouldn't stop you. But there is no other remedy; even medicine doesn't take effect without waiting, and flowers don't bloom before their time. My heart, remain silent until distant paths converge, until relief comes after distress, until our faces are moistened with tears of relief. My heart, trust in the decree of your Lord until it is realized, until your portion reaches you, until those who haven't received theirs understand that they have no master. My heart, remain silent until you see his coming, until you realize that pain turns into sweetness, until you see that his heart is tied to yours with the knot of love. My heart, remain silent until reasons emerge, until excuses fade away, until our destinies become intertwined. Despite all these silences, have faith that everything happens for the best. So, my heart, let every silence be an answer, let every silence be a testament to patience, faith, and love. Let silence be the balm to my wounds, as deep as the innermost cry of my heart, heard only by those who truly listen. Let silence speak, and may the mercy of Shams Tabrizi be upon us.
