Ramadan 2007 style

[muhammad]

Just cheat. I have seen people do it in the States. Many Somali in Minnesota don't give a shit, but they fast so that they don't bring shame to their community. Some people hide food and pretend to be tired. Oh BTW, I know many Muslims love pork but it's too bad that they have to eat them in secrecy.

funny .


cheating whom ???

cheating your self ??

or cheating your god ??

if cheating your self then you are the loser because ALLAH didn't order people to fast to make them suffer .. but fasting for their health and for very good things they will earn .

if cheating God ... no one can cheat God because God knows your thoughts not only what you do while hiding from people .


those who eat pigs or drink wine or cheat ... are just cheating them selves

because rules in islam were put for human benefit not for suffering

and everything Allah ordered people to do has its advantage and benefit even if your little brain can not know the reason .
every order God gives .. must have wisdom and an aim and at the end every order will benefit the follower and the one who cheats will be the loser .

thank you and good luck

Zakariya, you are Muslim?

I seriously, SERIOUSLY that you were either Israeli or Jewish, since Zakariya is, and correct me if I'm wrong, of Jewish origin?

Was Muhammad ibn Zakariya Al-Razi Jewish?

You can drink water, can't you? I work with a few muslims and a lot of them are using vacation for a large portion of the time. Some have switched to third shift to make the passage easier.

You cannot drink any water or eat any food from sunrise to sunset. This goes on for about a full 30 days. Children, elderly, sick, and traveling people are exempt from fasting.

I find doing it all pretty easy and fun, except for when I go to the gym and get thirsty as hell.

 

[Zakariya04]

Wow, starting at 4 am is tough; are you working through Ramadan?

The only suggestion I can make is you sleep at least 6 hours and have suhoor everyday.

hEY sAM,

YEAH I am nnot sure exactly but i doubt it is any later than 4:30am.

yes i will be working my usual 10 -12 hours per day so it is goign to be real hard.

Zakariya, you are Muslim?

hey norsefire

yep i am muslim, I think it is the way in which Zakariya is spelt,

dont see how fasting helps people

It helps you to become more self disciplined and charitable

No we cant Mr Strring, and i cant take any vacation as i run my own business

Easy and FUn:bugeye:

I dont think it is wise to go to the gym when you are fasting is it

Dear SPP


nice to hear from you

i hope your weekends been ok

but then again i bet it is well hard in the hieght of the summer!!!

remeber as the years in the islamic calender are lunar then ramadan goes back about 2 weeks per the western year cANT REMEBER THE term)

In places liek the MIDEast i dont think the hours change as radically as they are nearer the equator

Yeah when it falls at the height of summer the sun sets at around 23:00 and rises at around 3:00 so not easy to be a muslim on those years.

Assalamu Alikum (Peace Be Upon You All)

I am 23 years old and have been fasting consistently since I was 7 years old. It actually is not hard being that Shatan (Satan) is locked up during this mounth and the doors to Jannah (Paradise) are open. My advice to get through it is to purify your intentions, make duah (supplication) for Allahs assistance. Before Ramadan fast every Monday and Thursday which is from the sunnah and will help prepare you. Drink a lot of water for sahoor and make adthkar (rememberance) of Allah throughout the day and inshallah (god willing) it will be ok.

hey zak; wouldn't it be easier to be a non believer then you ain't got to do, none of that stuff.
a much much easier life, your in control.

Hey Mustapha

a long time no speak?

what have you been up to?

it may be easier to be a non beleuive but then again easyness does not always give you the same fulfilment.

Their are many reasons why it is beneficial to fast. I just find it tuff, but when i acheive my fast it is a really great feeling.

And also you dont actually have to have to do the fast if you are a muslim, you cna be exmept for a number of reasons. but i guess you know that.

take care

Just eat normally in the morning , i find that if i take in a lot of fluids, doesn't really help other than strain your bladder.

Eat slow energy release foods. Rye bread and stuff like that is ok i think.. I'm not too sure, i haven't been fasting regurarly since childhood.

Its hard for schoolkids who fast during their exam periods, but i have yet to find a correlation between bad results and fasting.. I think fasting might actually make your mind more focused than usual. Anyone heard anything like that or to the contrary ?
