Missed Pre Dawn Meal

Disclaimer: message below is a mixed of Malay and English. My dear, if you’re feeling pain, you already memudaratkan yourself. Which is not recommended. Remember, Allah has waived off half the prayers and fasting for a traveller and a pregnant woman. I know how much you want to fast but you’re in your first trimester and it is extremely crucial to look after your pregnancy. I just entered my 2nd tri and truth be told I chose not to fast for yesterday onwards because for fear of my pregnancy. I fear my baby might not get enough fluid intake, which can affect the amniotic sac greatly - which is extremely dangerous for a growing fetus. In my head and conscience, I also fear my baby who used to have small meals throughout the day through me, will be hungry. Kesian baby makan sekali sehari. For example, the nutrition that baby receives on a non-fasting day is on average about 3 times a day. And suddenly he/she receives only once a day. So obviously zat yg di terima is not enough for them. So nope, I for sure, am not gonna jeopardise his/her growth. As a Muslim mother to be, we are in the path of Allah, it is a jihad for us. It is a huge ibadah by itself that not many of us know. Simply because kita mempertaruhkan nyawa untuk mengembangkan umat Islam. Mati melahirkan anak itu mati syahid, nampak tak betapa besar nya nilai ibadah seorang Ibu yg hamil? There are many other ways to kerjakan pahala in this blessed month. For example 4 pages of the Quran after every solat fardhu and you can khatam the Quran in this blessed month. You can also give zakat online. You can do terawih. You can do solat rawatib. I understand you will feel incomplete without your full month of fasting, but if Allah has waived it for you specially, who are we to still do otherwise if we are in a state where there is a chance we will jeopardise another life? Just remember, kita berjuang untuk memberi nutrition yg sempurna pada khalifah yg bakal lahir. Our men don’t get that kelebihan at all. Hukumnya HARUS untuk Ibu mengandung and Ibu yg menyusukan anak. Fikir-fikirkan lah. Just remember to puasa qadha and bayar fidyah before the next Ramadhan comes. In Shaa Allah all will be well for you and baby. Ramadhan Kareem to you and loved ones. Take care.
