016 Ramadan on a whim
Because I listened to Yin Qianyan's admonition before, I directly positioned Musa and Ayub as scumbags from the beginning, so that this text message was like an unexpected warmth, and it ignited endless emotion in my heart.
In line with the principle of reciprocal exchanges, I typed in the text message box: "Actually, if you are too busy, it doesn't matter if you don't come." You can take care of finding the information so that you can organize your own time. ”
My finger hesitated for a long time on the send button, and when I looked back, this was what he was supposed to do, so why should I have to push?
So, I cut out the long words and just replied with an "ok".
I thought he had nothing to reply to, but the phone vibrated again.
He wrote: "You had diarrhea last time, probably your stomach is not very good, next week is Ramadan, don't forget to stock up on food, so as not to get sick." ”
I almost forgot about it.
Ramadan in Dubai is different from the Ramadan of the Hui people in China, after all, the country is dominated by the Han people, and the Hui people only need to restrain themselves. But during Ramadan in Dubai, restaurants are closed or closed during the day, you can't even drink water in public, and if you can't help but feel thirsty, you have to hide and eat out of sight of Muslims. Until the sun sinks, you can eat and drink, which is called iftar.
In short, during Ramadan, I had to face a new routine of life.
It warmed my heart that Musa, as a Muslim who strictly abstains from eating and drinking during Ramadan, would go out of his way to remind me to prepare food.
The entanglement faded away quietly, and I asked back with great interest: "Let me stock up on food, isn't this *'naked' acquiescence to my conflict with your faith?"
"Stock up on food, but don't eat where we can see it. We also understand the habits of foreigners, as long as you hide from eating, no one will blame you. ”
Moses's reply was very pertinent, and it was evident that it was a matter of course, and I was delighted that it was his special indulgence on me.
Self-inflicted affection is not a kind of self-inflicted.
I was faintly lost, cleared my mind, and then asked him, "You really won't steal food if you have been hungry for a month without dripping water during the day?"
"Of course not. Mouses affirmed that "Ramadan is not about starving, but about the 'nature' of the mind and the purification of the soul." It's not a question of hunger or not, it's a faith that should not be violated. ”
I was almost impressed by his piety, and suddenly I was filled with a yearning for the purification of my soul, and I made up my mind: "Then this Ramadan, I will fast during the day like you." ”
"Really?"
I hesitated for a second and replied, "I'll do my best." ”
"That's great. "Muses seems to be quite happy because he has won over a heathen to Allah?
Actually, more than that, I just want to take this opportunity to lose 'fat', and there is no noble reason.
The 'woman' who loves beauty should be like this, and a good figure is not for men, but for the pleasure of herself. I felt that I would never be able to hide myself in the overlapping gloom like those 'women' in black robes.
Because I had the intention of fasting, I didn't stock up on snacks in advance, but only bought many small bottles of mineral water and secretly hid them in my bag.
Lian Pian scoffed at my pretending to fast: "Didn't you keep saying that you want to celebrate Ramadan? During Ramadan, you are not allowed to drink water, not only mineral water, but also saliva. ”
My eyes widened in surprise: "What? You can't swallow saliva, are you still human if you don't swallow saliva?"
"Scare you. Lian Pian smiled slyly and added, "Actually, it's not that you can't swallow saliva, but you can't accumulate saliva to swallow." ”
"That's barely enough. I nodded, and I had a new understanding of the customs of Ramadan, and I couldn't help but feel deeply worried about the month ahead.
