Thursday fasting!

By: Ateqah Sadiqi
Mr. Rajaee was a man of determination and powerful will. When he decided to do something he would certainly do it; even in critical situation. He had a regular program to fast every Thursday (It was either his mother’s lapsed fasting or for the sake Almighty Allah).Some Thursdays we took a trip to Qazvin city. He observed the regular sunset but he broke his fast right before sunset, because it prohibited fasting while on trip.
When I argued him that it is prohibited to fast on trip. He made me to understand by gesture-Because he didn’t talk much- that he wasn’t fasting. He is just trying not to give up his habit.
After our marriage, it took a long time that I found out that he regularly fasted on Thursdays, because he never mentioned that he is fasting! He behaved in a way that I thought he has had his lunch out and has no appetite for food! But later on when he stayed home on Thursdays and did not eat I found out that he fasts on Thursdays.
