I’m officially Muslim after taking my Shahada on Saturday night. Thank you to everyone who came to listen to my story, speak about Palestine, meet me, and for the incredibly generous gifts. It’s a beautiful reminder that the world is still full of magnificent souls. Alhamdulillah
If you are a non Muslim, please do not feel obligated or pressured into not eating or drinking in front of us
Especially in your own countries
If you do decide to not eat in front of us, we would thank you for the kindness, but tell you it’s not necessary
And if you decide to go about your day as usual, eating and drinking as you normally would - as is your right - then there is no issue with that
Islamically speaking there is no obligation for you to abstain from eating infront of us
And we will not have a problem with you if you do so
Ramadan is OUR obligation, not yours
