What should i do in order to reform my life? Muslims plz answer? ?

Question

Okay well im currently living with my gf, and its haram to live with her under islam. And i havent began fasting yet, but i want to make sure that my fasting may be accepted. But i dont know what to do about my gf? I mean we are both virgins, and we are planning to marry. I dont know many Muslims where i live, also all my family lives in Russia, so we cant talk under supervision. What do i do, im planning to fast Ramadan beginning on the 5th.

Thanks in advance.

All that is asked of any of us is that we try our best, brother.  It is true that it isn't permissable for an unmarried couple to live together.. but is there a reason you haven't married yet?  If there are legal reasons, talk to your Imam, I know that while it is important to follow the laws of the land, it is also possible to be married in a religious ceremony that isn't legally binding, at least until you make it so, but I'm not an Imam or a Sheikh, so you would be best to ask them.  As for delaying your fast, don't forget that you can make up for the time lost by feeding a needy person.  I'm not sure how many needy people need to be fed to make up for each day of fasting, and I'm sure that it varies, but it's a nice thing to do anyway.

Insha Allah this will be helpful to you, and Allah will lead you to what choice is right for you.
