rant

I decided not to fast this year due to exams which I know isn't a relevant enough reason but to me it made sense, i cannot concentrate on no sleep or food at all also all of my exams are morning exams. ramadan comes every year but exams don't.. I can always make up the fasts.

because of this my mum started to treat me badly she's ignoring me, constantly making me feel bad, calling me cuss words, deliberately making a lot of noise in the house so I cant focus on revision, making food and not letting me eat it, etc she's doing everything she can to sabotage my grades

the ironic thing is I'm only focused on the grades so I can move out and be away from her for at least 3 years at uni.

Sorry you had to go through this. Can you try to go to the library to study or perhaps a friend's house?
It's cool most people who fast are either watching porn or masturbating and it's better then coverting in the middle.

I'm not muslim myself, but I lived in a muslim country for 15 years. A lot of my muslim friends who were sitting a level exams did exactly what you do. I have asked them about it, and they said it's fine, they just make up the days they missed fasting later in the year, so if it helps, this is the perspective of muslims from a muslim country. Maybe you could explain this to your mum?

I think you're doing the right thing focusing on your a levels, like you say, they only come once but ramadan comes every year. Maybe you can revise somewhere else? Good luck with your exams!
My parents are very religious and when my exams came around they forced me not to fast not because they dislike Ramadan its because they thought it was best for me so maybe yiur mum thought you could cope and believed you could get the result by fasting at the same time so dont take it to heart after all we should respect what our parents think because it a very important command

sorry to hear this. some parents take things too far sometimes. for me it was easy cus my parents actually encouraged me not to fast for the sake of my exams and i'm glad i didn't. your mum should realise that it's not the end of the world and they can be made up. i hope your exams go well nonetheless
