29 GIFs That Perfectly Sum Up Every Ramadan, In The Eyes Of A Singaporean Muslim

The Ramadan Struggle Is Real

Ramadan started on 15 June this year, marking the start of the month when Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. While this month-long event turns up every year, fasting never gets any easier.

Here are the struggles every Muslim goes through, hilariously summed up by the Internet.

1. It’s the first day of Ramadan. You wake up before sunrise, ready to stock up that belly. You tell yourself you’re ready, you have prepared all year for this.

2. You remind yourself of the Ramadan highway code.

Source

 3. You’ve even sorted out your love life.

Source

 4. So you drag yourself out of bed before sunrise for sahur.

Source

5. Time to wake the family up.

Source

6. You follow the aroma to a table full of glorious food but at 5am, all your eyes wants to do is play rapid-fire peek-a-boo.

Source

7. But you battle the sleepiness because you know that you’ll regret it if you don’t eat now.

Because once the sun rises, you can’t eat the food or drink anymore.

Source

 8. Now the real struggle begins. Time to face the world in Ramadan mode.

Source

9. Answering the same old Ramadan questions from non-muslim friends year in year out.

Source

10. “You don’t eat or drink for one entire month, like you starve for 30 days?”

Source

Err, did you not feed your brains for one month?

11. Fact: We fast from sunrise to sunset. No, not even water.

Source

 12. All we consume are positive vibes.

Source

13. You try to be nice to everyone.

Source

14. And staying away from indulgences. No cuss words are going into these ears today.

Source

 15. No girls either.

Source

16. When your friends invite you to lunch

Source

 17. Your willpower by midday has basically evaporated.

Source

18. But we always say no to Satan.

Source

19. Dat caffeine withdrawal is real.

Source

20. Sometimes you take a drink of water and immediately remember the fasting thing.

Source

21. Just a few more hours to go. You’ve got it all under control.

Source

22. Then you catch your brother chomping down food.

The traitor!

Source

23. You wait patiently for sunset.

Source

24. Still waiting..

Source

25. Counting down be like 5..4..3.. 2…

Source

26. And it’s time!

Source

27. You renew your vows with true love: food.

Source

28. Then comes the prayers, which sometimes comes with its own set of issues.

Source

29. But before you know it, things get easier. You’ve got this in a snap.

Source

In case you haven’t figured out already, here’s where I share that the real meaning behind Ramadan isn’t just in the food. It is a spiritual journey that is more rewarding than any meal. Happy Ramadan to all our Muslim readers!
