shaysonic 1,005 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Not really looking forward to it right now. It's summer vacation and I've got nothing to distract me from the thoughts of food T_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mischo 7,462 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Yeah I do.. Actually today I woke up at 10 AM and wasn't even hungry the entire day so I don't think Ramadaen is going to be hard on me though I'd loose all my energy lolz This year is also the first year I'm going to read the entire Quran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qri 4,063 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'm pretty prepared for it this year. I'll probably just be completing my summer homework to distract me from food. And I hope everyone has a good Ramadan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanah- 1,839 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 So, you are supposed to starve and some of you are looking forward to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiramiQ 16,446 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 So, you are supposed to starve and some of you are looking forward to it? yes lol it is not the same when you hear about it and when you actually DO it, it can be really fun and we HAVE to do it so we better have fun while doing so right? it is just hard to have fun when you spend 4 hours out of 17 (the fasting hours in Tunisia ) in public transportation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittehkutz 1,194 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 So, you are supposed to starve and some of you are looking forward to it? Sure you get hungry and thirsty, but it makes you appreaciate it more when iftar finally arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGentleman 541 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 why have ramadhan in the summer when the days are the longest? Keep it in the winter, less time you have to starve yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akisame 3,880 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I have anaemia so I can't fast, I would probably end up in hospital after the second day. All my family are anaemic so they never fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaysonic 1,005 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 So, you are supposed to starve and some of you are looking forward to it? Lol yes. Honestly it sounds like it's really hard but it's not. After a while you tend to forget the fact that you are hungry, though the thirst is slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psy 2,401 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 So, you are supposed to starve and some of you are looking forward to it? Each day of 29 or 30 days, you give up on food and drink for certain hours. Muslims break their fast with Iftar, and make up for it. It may sound terrible, but it really is not. Many Muslims look forward to it because it is the one time in the year where sins are forgiven and rewards are multiplied since Allah is closer to all. Religious commitment intensifies during that period. It's a time of reflection, improvement and seeking answers. It's also a time when one's self-discipline is tested, and empathy for the poor is created, which brings out the charitable side. Despite fasting being obligatory in Islam, there are exceptional cases. why have ramadhan in the summer when the days are the longest? Keep it in the winter, less time you have to starve yourself! Ramadan never lies in the same season nor time of the year because it follows the Islamic calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeletedAccount01 6,191 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 why have ramadhan in the summer when the days are the longest? Keep it in the winter, less time you have to starve yourself! We can't pick and choose dates though. We go by the Lunar calendar so the date of Ramadan is based on the sighting of a new moon. So, you are supposed to starve and some of you are looking forward to it? Yes? :D but not for the whole day of course, just from sunrise to sunset. The purpose is to become more spiritual/closer to God by thinking of Him throughout the whole month and be thankful for the food we have while people face starvation on a daily basis around the world.

North and South 4,680 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Ramadan Mubarik to everyone!~ I'm actually super excited. Ramadan is my favourite time of year. I don't know if this is done in all cultures, but I'm going to be going with my friends for Chaand Raat, where we sit up waiting to see the full moon with all the girls, and put on henna and stuff. Plus, I always just feel super clean and healthy at the end of Ramadan~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not drinking when you're thirsty sounds definitively hard, since I'm not a fan of food the eating part isn't as bad, but wow, I really admire you for being able to go through it. Lots of strength to all of you during that special time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
