LIKE many of my Muslim friends, I look forward to the month of Ramadan. It is the month I can exclusively dedicate to my relationship with God — a month of initiation that ideally breaks down our lack of consideration for others and encourages sympathy for the weak, the vulnerable and those suffering.
I am not a “model Muslim”. I have the tendency to swear and I don’t don a headscarf or dress as “modestly”. I have never done the umrah, what more the hajj, and I occasionally miss a prayer or two in a day.
