With less than 2 weeks to go until Ramadan (I KNOW) the countdown is on to make up missed fasts from last year. Every year I tell myself that I WILL do them in winter but every year I play myself, yet again, and find myself scrambling to make them up. And I am definitely not alone, this year in the run up to Ramadan #GirlGangFast, a hashtag started by Shahd Batal and Amina @blackishgold_, the point being to provide support and solidarity to make up fasts before Ramadan.
May Allah allow us all to see the upcoming Ramadan, Ameen.

every year I just wait until I don't have enough time to make up all of the fasts I missed the year before and I fool myself into believing that I'll be making up all of the fasts I missed my entire life, the NEXT year. i've been doing this for 12 years.
