ramadhan starts on Saturday for all Muslims around the world.. i just got my timetable through the post, so it will be 19 hours per day without food and water for one month, 19 hours is a long time without food and water, i manage to keep them ALL last year..

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2012 10:13 am**

Wow. I knew it was a food fast but didn't know you can not have water either. That is rough. Good luck, my friend!

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2012 10:18 am**

oh ya no food or water or smoking or cursing etc... lol

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2012 10:23 am**

you get used to not eating or drinking, the first week is really hard especially if you work with non Muslims who eat and drink in front of you, so i tend to stay away from them at lunchtimes coz i know ill get hungry, the worst thing is in the morning were you get up and want a cup of tea but you cannot.. cant even use toothpaste i have to use the miswak to clean my teeth, i work in a office so its not hard labor, the poor bastards who work on construction sites in 3rd world countries were its really hot, they have it really worse.. but its a great feeling after the month is over its like you have purged your body of all the crap you been eating for the past year, so you actually feel good about yourself and its a sense of achievement.

Posted: **Fri Jul 20, 2012 6:31 pm**

ok the moon was sighted and first fast was today all around the world, it was hard i started to get hungry at 5pm but still had another 4 hours left. finally it opened at 9.12pm same again tomorrow....

So when you can finally eat, does everyone just pig out? Like that delicious-looking roast chicken you posted up a couple months ago?

I lost my ipod thingy which Ramada. I hope this ain't Utah cause last time I was there I had no toilet paper and had to use my koran. Hey sorry .. SOOOO SOWRY. really, I was desperate. What would you have done? Out in the middle of the dry Utah mountain desert. Rocks and sand. Rocks and sand and you didn't bring any nappies or nothing. Just your coffee can of Red Bud.

Try crossing the Arizona border with that in your back seat.
Border Agent: "You got any plants or live materials in your vehicle punk?
MeStoned: "Uh no." smileing silently as if he is in on it.
Border Agent: takes a closer unsmiling look. He doesn't get the joke. He waves his right hand and steps backwards, "Get out and open the trunk."
So I step out open the trunk and its empty since I had left home with nothing but a credit card and 1 blanket a can of peanuts and an coffee can of the best weed I'd ever had up to that time.

Road trip this.

So he looks to his left down a long line of cars backed up

I look backward down a long line of cars backed up at sunset Arizona time.

He looks at me and squints and quizzes, "You sure you have no plant materials produce or evil bugs and larvae we don't want in our state so stay out?"

ME: throws arms wide open and leans back

Inn in what city?

Anyway I guess what I'm saying is. send me all your korans here.

Self deceit is an evil thing
Those who manipulate our human weaknesses to use it against us is eviler.

I need all the free toilet paper I can get.

haha muslims dont eat swine... but seriously we pace ourselves, we dont pig out coz after the fast is open at 9.12pm we can eat then till 2.55AM and after that we fast till 9.14 pm ( 2 minutes get added everyday). so i avoid oily food, but after 18 hours of fasting everyday, the only thing i can stomach is something sweet, thats why most Muslims around the world open there fasts by eating dates first...

Posted: **Sat Jul 21, 2012 3:48 pm**

i found this online too

Question:
Assalaamu alaikum I live in western coutry where the summer days are longer and even sometimes the sun shines for 24h a day . We have been fasting ramadan months the summer according to the time of Makka and then fast again the same month the winter time to make sure we won't miss any . I would like to know if that is ok also like fasting the mondays and thursdays and the days of full moon it is very important to my family and i to keep tight to islam in all ways possible. All this is according to our time but when the summer comes we can't fast 23 to 24h so we do it Makka time . Also it is important to fast Ramadan same time with all muslims when it is in summer inshaallah. Hope you to help us in this matter jazakumullah khair.

Fatwa ( islamic declaration)

If the sun shines for 24 hours a day in your country and never sets, then you should fast and break the fast according to the timing of the nearest country to you where the sun rises and sets; this applies to obligatory and supererogatory fasting.

However, if the fasting person finds hardship in fasting to an extent that he is unable to continue the fasting due to the extreme length of the day, then it is permissible for him to break the fast according to the necessity only [and not eat his fill] and then make up for that day whenever he is able to do so. As regards supererogatory fasting, one is not obliged to make up for the day he broke the fast.

found this aswell on yahoo answers

The answer is simpler than what you may think. Polar regions like Norway, Finland, and Alaska have areas where the sun stays below horizon for several months in winter, and stays above horizon for several months in summer. However, there comes a time in every day when the sun is at its highset point (Noon) and at lowest point (Midnight). At temperate latitudes, the highest point is visible but lowest point is below horizon. But at higher latitudes (Polar region, like Norway, Finland, and Alaska) the highest and lowest point occur below horizon in winter (meaning several months long night), and above horizon in summer when the sun never sets for several months (meaning several months long day). But we can calculate those two points and determine Prayer times around those two known times every day. Having determined the prayer times, the fasting time is already set.

just broke my fast, phew headache has gone now i have some water inside me

your mouth is so dry when your fasting and its hard to swallow food, so we eat dates or fruit first to lubricate the mouth so we can swallow the main food

watermelon/tangerines/plum/grapes followed by spring roll and samosas both veggies with some chutney

chicken wraps..

Posted: **Tue Aug 07, 2012 8:35 pm**

The food looks delicious! Must taste so good once you can eat. You must really appreciate the bounty given to you in this way. So is the holiday over now?

Posted: **Tue Aug 07, 2012 9:25 pm**

no earl, not yet

we are on our 19th day of the 30, so in total we have to fast for 30 days on the trot.... after the 30 days are over we celebrate the end of fast we call it " EID" (Eid-ul-Fitr )

Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "breaking the fast". The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire ramadhan month.

Posted: **Thu Aug 16, 2012 12:48 pm**

today or tomorrow could be the last day of the fast, it depends on the sighting of the new moon.. will find out tonight if we have to fast one more day or not, if not then its EID

wow cant believe Ramadan is already over, time really flew past........

i work in an office so i dont do any heavy lifting and my office has A/C . i guess the well off in saudi live in nice modern houses but the bedouins who herd sheep and goats during the day and the camel trains through the deserts, the poor migrant workers who labour during the day and live in wooden shacks on side of motorways they observe ramadan too, i have no idea how they manage to do it...

Posted: **Wed Jul 10, 2013 3:08 pm**

i heard an interview with bedowins that those fucking evil isreali's are treating like america did its indians.

they talked about the fact that generations of living in the desert had taught them how to survive there.
when not to do what. when to stay out of the sun. when not to exert themselves

its how they live there when visitors will let it kill them inside a few hours

what this speaks to is how 'modern' life and the demands it makes are incompatable with living frugally

your practices have to conform to the enviroment when you dont have free energy to throw at problems your fake need to do things a certain way at a certain time present

Who is exempt from fasting?

The following Muslims are exempt from fasting during Ramadan:

1. The clinically insane

2. Children who have not reached puberty

3. The elderly and chronically ill for whom fasting is unreasonably strenuous. Instead, they are required to feed at least one poor person every day in for which he/she missed fasting.

4. Pregnant and nursing women may postpone fasting to a later date. However, it is best to check with your doctor for advise.

5. Those who are ill or those who are travelling incredibly long distances. However, these days need to be made up later. In the Qur’an (Surah Al-Baqara), there’s the verse:

“But if anyone is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period should be made up by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put you to difficulties.”

6. Females during menstruation. However, again, days missed should be made up.

Validity of fasting:

Your fast is considered valid, if you have done the following:

1. Abstained from food, drink and sexual activity from dawn to sunset.

2. The intention to fast (niyyah) is made every day before dawn. Niyyah may be made during night before going to sleep or it can also be made at the time of suhour before dawn.

3. It is desirable to break the fast as soon as possible after sunset.

Factors that invalidate a fast:

There are numerous factors that can invalidate a fast. These are:

1. Eating or drinking intentionally.

2. Deliberately causing oneself to throw up.

3. The beginning of menstruation.

4. Ejaculation for reasons other than sexual intercourse.

5. Sexual intercourse between married couples.

6. Intending to break the fast before sunset even if one changes his mind, since intention is one of the pre-requisites of the validity of fasting.

Factors that do not invalidate a fast

According to numerous Islamic scholars, there are several factors that do not invalidate a fast. They are:

1. If anyone forgets that he is fasting and eats or drinks, he should complete his fast, for it is only Allah who has fed him and given him drink.

2. Unintentional vomiting.

3. Swallowing things that are not possible to avoid, such as one's saliva, street dust, smoke…etc.

4. Brushing the teeth.

5. Injections or intra-venous which are for medical and not nutritional use.

yeah ben that is an issue when youre fasting, cant brush teeth with toothpaste either in case you swallow some toothpaste that will make the fast invalid, so we use a miswak to clean the teeth and tongue, its a dried stem of a tree and has antiseptic properties been used for centuries........

seriously dill,
conventions and traditions be damned

how do you deal with the fact that a proceedure created before electricity to inact a certain measure of control over the masses is used today to EXTRACT a much greater measure of control over the faithful?

this practice is horseshit!

its produces FAR more physical harm on the participants given their real world responsibilities in comparison to the impact its creations was designed to inflict

i got a similar argument wrapped up against the idiot conservative christians in my family

goes generally like this

if there was in fact a god you were correct in worshipping, dont you think he would send someone back to chance this practice so that his worship didnt demand you shooting yourself in the foot as a way of being less able to promote his praise?

Seriously, though, surely you're allowed to smoke during non-fasting times?

id love to sleep for 18 hours he-hee, but that defeats the object, coz you still have to go to work and do your daily tasks..

i work with lots of non muslims and they bring drinks and snacks to there tables while they are working, kinda makes me salivate but now i am used to others eating around me and its cool....

i can only say at the end its all about the "faith" either you have it or you dont... i mean there are plenty of Muslims who DONT fast even though its obligatory for all muslims apart from the exempt ones. after muslims have completed the whole fasting period , we feel really good about ourselves, generally we lose weight and because we are not eating during the day, no fast food etc.. the skin becomes more healthy and glowing for a while...

personally when i complete the whole fast it gives me a sense of achievement that i stuck to something for a month so that tells me if i really put my mind to something i can really do it, it makes you become more confident, ya know as in what can the world throw at me out after i fasted for 19 hours a day for a month, nothing can stop me from anything !!!

My oldest granddaughter (13) fasted for the first week of Ramadan this year in solidarity with one of her friends. They've invited her for Eid. I used to love Eid in Iran: all of the neighbors would bring us delicious plates of bbq lamb.

My reporter in the 19th arrondissement of Paris with a large Maghrebi population reports there was a lot of noisy (and alcohol fueled) partying going late into the night there.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2013 8:40 pm**

I should clarify, this is going on every night after sunset. I suppose it's likely to be more pronounced tomorrow night.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 10:08 am**

Eid Mubarak!

3rd fast today...

not smoked in 3 days,

awesome ill keep it up detox

Posted: **Wed May 08, 2019 3:19 pm**

But you could smoke after sunset right? you're just going all in? i assume Ramadan is for denying immediate worldly satisfaction for spiritually re-connection?

true..

good time to detox, i built up a tolerance,,,,, not smoking cigs and dope for one lunar month will be good for me.......

Posted: **Tue May 28, 2019 8:33 pm**

its been over 24 days since i last smoked weed or cigs and i have not coughed up any mucus infact i have not coughed at all, the only issues right now are insomnia, mood swings and lack of appetite even though i am only eating once per day coz of fasting...

i might keep it up post fasting aswell a i have not craved for weed or cigs, feel a lot better..

i noticed i can breathe a lot easier now too, overall awesome experience and i have lost over 7 pound in weight with no exercising and only eating once per day.

Posted: **Fri May 31, 2019 4:28 pm**

hey, kinda reminds of the Tommy Chong's line: "I haven't done any drugs or smoked a joint or nothing for a whole week. And I feel so good, I want to get high. You know what I mean?"

Anyways .. Cool. hope ya had 7 pounds to give

Posted: **Sat Jun 01, 2019 12:29 pm**

Excellant my friend!

Posted: **Sun May 03, 2020 12:08 pm**

Not to bother you during the fast but when you get around to it . Okay if I ask this stupid american question about your culture? I know you live in the UK but

Do the women wear colorful or decorative scarfs to be attractive if not attractive, distinct, memorable? Seems I seen quite a few colorful ones in iran when US relations were better.

I ask cuz I'm doing it now as a male. But it seemed something the women here would embrace. As Dr brix already owns it. Seems to me Muslims and Islamic culture should be way ahead on the game on that.

Posted: **Mon May 04, 2020 2:46 am**

^youre not bothering me brother !!!!

are you talking about the hijab, the scarf the covers the head and leaves the face exposed? yeah its just decorative there so many diff styles that women wear in UK albeit its only 1% of Muslim women that actually wear them.. the jilbab is the full covering usually in black as the whole point is NOT to be noticed, but i have seen embroidery on them and diff styles i guess to make them stand out between there friends etc....

there's a " burkha" which covers the whole body and the only thing visible are the eyes.

i have seen some pics of the time when it was the Spanish influenza epidemic and lots of women were wearing the Islamic style face-covering..... i guess its not a big deal for the spanish women as 700 years rule of the moors in spain they have the hijab, jilbab, burkha in there past culture.

Posted: **Mon May 04, 2020 10:08 am**

Cool!
Thanks bro.
Nothing like a little knowledge to quench a Thirst.
I feel there's a Rumi quote here about satiating a fast with feast of knowledge.

im on a meat-break, again, every couple of years i do a lengthy break, becoming a vegetarian for half a year, feeling its fx from the second month onwards, boosting inner energy levels, making me more focused and more durable

my misses been a vegetarian for more than 8 years, until i made her a meat eater again ...
now we switched roles ... lol ... im the vegetarian and she is the wild flesh eating hog lol

one of my neighbors went to south end on sea ( to the coast) it was a really hot day today and he was telling me the beach was jam-packed with people and there was o social distancing, it looks like corona might make a comeback deadlier than before, seems like people are just fed up with staying at home in the summer, my local park was full of kids playing cricket and football today.

i am going to back to work tomorrow, i have to get on the London fucking tube i have my N3 respirator ready, not sure how i feel about going back to work i was getting 80% of my salary so I wasn't too bothered about it, seems a bit dangerous top go back to work as corona is still around and people are still dying on a daily basis, but i have been called back to work on Tuesday.......

Posted: **Tue May 26, 2020 11:35 am**

Maybe you could get rescheduled a few hours. The London tube is scary crowded only during the weekday commute times. Just a couple of hours one way or the other, it's not nearly as bad. I've been on when the distance between my and the people around me were mere millimeters.

Posted: **Tue May 26, 2020 3:20 pm**

so my first day back at work, the tube was crammed with people coughing and sneezing and only a handful of people wearing face masks absolutely no social distancing, nobody gave a fuck and people were huddled shoulder to shoulder like sardines, the fucking worst day I've had since the lockdown, gonna be like this every day until the mayor of London makes it mandatory for anyone travelling on the tube to be wearing masks, but the mayor is a real fucking procrastinator he doesn't know what to do.. my colleagues at work were all depressed nobody wanted to be back at work including myself.

Posted: **Tue May 26, 2020 5:02 pm**

Shit. Yer so frackd. Keep washing keep drinking lots of water.

Posted: **Tue Dec 29, 2020 12:06 am**

hindu style fasting so much easier,24 hrs. no water-no nothing" they fast mainly at 4 different moon positions,the main one is Ekadashi https://iskcondwarka.org/blogs/benefits ... i-fasting/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Posted: **Tue Dec 29, 2020 11:59 am**

Easier fasting!?! "Yeah I'm looking for a fasting and spiritual Journey, but easier."

And there is American style fasting: Poverty.

how about the OMAD diet ( one meal a day) that'll work, i guess you can drink water during the days..

or you can man up like me and do it cold turkey

one month of purge bro, chase them free radicals in your body through fasting!!!

I suspect the constant stretching was as beneficial as clearing the intestinal toxins. Tho Nice thing about weight loss, besides the obvious if you have it to lose,
now you can carry more food in the pack..

ramadhan a journey or something to just endure.

5 years ago, I was living with a guy from Senegal, who was a practicing Muslim.

He and his friends went out to a huge feast, and were kind enough to bring home some leftovers for me. Senegalese food is quite savory

Posted: **Mon Mar 27, 2023 4:21 pm**

you get a ton of benefit by fasting a day or two a week
not as good as the calorie restricted diet but another way of getting close

Posted: **Sun Apr 02, 2023 5:24 am**

I noticed lots of NON- Muslims fasting these days. lots of videos on YT of non-Muslims talking about how they feel after they have fasted for a week and how it changed their whole thinking about eating 3 times a day..

there was a time when people thought Muslims were crazy for fasting for 30 days but now its different and many people want to try it,

think about the sense of achievement if you can control your food and liquid intake for hours and hours every day for 30 days...

Posted: **Sun Apr 30, 2023 10:14 pm**

fasting is a think among some fundamentalists christians
it was around our house and one of the cults we were in promoted it...

Posted: **Sun Feb 25, 2024 4:06 pm**

regarding the " Zamzam water" when pilgrims come back from the hajj from all over the world they bring back the Zamzam water for their families in bottles as the water is good and it helps heal. They mix the Zamzam water with regular water and drink it because there is only a certain amount of bottles of water they can bring back from the well so they mix it with regular water and give it to friends and families and people who are sick.
years ago I was reading up about how water has memory and the experiments that Dr. Masaru Emoto's Water Experiment

In his studies, Emoto found that water exposed to positive words and intentions formed beautiful, symmetrical crystalline structures when the water was frozen, while water exposed to negative words and intentions formed disorganized, asymmetrical structures. Water Has Memory! Dr. Masaru Emoto's Water Experiment!

New UAE astronauts prepare for Ramadan and family reunions
https://www.space.com/uae-astronauts-ne ... witter.com

...
Most adult Muslims fast from dawn to sunset as one of the five Pillars of Islam, but last year, the UAE's first long-duration astronaut told reporters he would need to put ISS operations first. Sultan Al Neyadi's half-year flight included Ramadan, which began last year on March 23.

"We're actually allowed to eat sufficient food and to prevent any escalation of lack of food or nutrition or hydration," Al Neyadi said of Muslim travelers during a pre-flight press conference on Jan. 25, 2023. He emphasized that his orbital activities must be adjusted so that he does not "jeopardize the mission or maybe put the crewmember in a risk."

The first-ever Muslim astronaut to go to space, Prince Sultan bin Salman Al-Saud of Saudi Arabia, coincidentally arrived towards the end of the holy month on June 17, 1985, during the week-long STS-51G space shuttle mission. He fasted pre-launch and broke his fast in space, with his American crew members staying alongside him in support until he was allowed to eat.

These days, the UAE participates in NASA missions both in ISS excursions, and as a member of the U.S.-led Artemis Accords. Some partners in the 35-nation pact directly supply hardware for Artemis missions, like the UAE, and all signatories commit to peaceful exploration norms led by NASA.
