Beep beep beep.. (phone ringing)
I pick up my phone after hearing the alarm for fajar (morning prayer) My eyes are squinting and a shiver runs through the back of my spine. I put on my purple fluffy robe and tiptoe across the soft carpet and head to the bathroom and make wudhu (washing before prayer). This time I'm not in a rush because I woke up slightly earlier than usual, so because I was a bit hungry I head downstairs to the kitchen to grab a light snack. I open the fridge and find one last Eclair in the box! Allhumdulillah (all praise to Allah) I whisper to myself. I start munching delightfully without any disruptions.
I then go upstairs, quickly put on my hijab (scarf) and start praying. The second I finish my prayer, as always I get a text from Aisha asking if I prayed fajar, because she knows I do get lazy at times. But I tend not to miss fajar. Aisha and Aminah are my two besties and I love them both so much but since I've known Aisha a bit longer than Aminah, she is the closest to me.
