Turkish Protesters Break Ramadan Fast Off Gezi Park

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

As I explained the basics of Ramadan to my mom her response was, jokingly, “Well listen to yourself, that’s your time because mine is the Holy Week (La Semana Santa)”. Yes my mom is a Roman Catholic and a very proud and firm one at that. I was raised in a Catholic household and not once have I doubted God. I have, however, doubted Catholicism.

I have always admired my mom’s faith and I still do. She has never doubted God and she has taught me that the most important thing in life is the relationship with our Heavenly Father . Of course the younger I was the less of a priority God was. Now that I am older He is my number one priority so much so that I began researching and educating myself about my own religion. I began to see flaws in more than one way from the practices to the actual word I am supposed to depend on, the Bible. I began to doubt….but not in God, only in my religion.

My faith crisis had to be put on hold because I was going to attend college in the fall and I needed to focus on “more important things”. Well this past December I began reading the Qu’ran in an attempt to convince my Muslim friends that the Bible was the truth and Christianity was the only way. Well I had a surprise in store for me! The Qu’ran shared a lot of the same beliefs and values as the Bible….but how so?! The media has told me that Muslims are terrorists, women are oppressed, they pray to a different god, a moon god and so much more. By taking the time out to read the Qu’ran I learned quickly that it was all false. I learned that Allah means God in Arabic just as Dios means God in Spanish. Once I began learning and asking questions, things began to get more clearer…it’s July now and I am still researching Islam but my mind and heart accepted it a long time ago. Of course I have been advised by many Muslims that there is no impulse in religion and I should take my time which is what I am doing. But Ramadan is here and I want to join in for the sake of God! It’s going to be hard, I don’t know everything but I know that with God’s help it can be done.

During this holy month I will read the entire Qu’ran inshaAllah (God Willingly) and I will physically, mentally, and emotionally fast. I will be reflecting this entire month and asking questions to find answers from Imams (teachers), Scholars, respected Muslims and most importantly God. I invite you to come learn with me and please ask questions as I will be asking away in search for answers!

Ramadan mubarak! (Happy Ramadan)
