Very cool. Never knew about them... Also the food looks so good.My friend is a Hispanic Muslim and he would really like this! Thanks for sharing.
Yup, same. Saw it pop up on my Facebook feed and I thought it was neat. It's always cool to see Islam in little pockets of the world like this.
And that food... *drool*
Nice going brother
Gained 10 on 21hr fasts -_-

it was a good thing a stayed up for Suhoor/Fajr with the rest of the days so that I'd be used to those extra prayers before then (seeing it is now the last ten/ now nine days)
you literally have no time to sleep in between lol

I wonder if Snapchat will do something like they did last year for the part of the last 10 days

Asalamo alaykum all,
Kinda LTTP on this one, but unfortunately self requested a ban because I had exams for the past month a half (and they're pretty important as they determine whether I get into med school or not)!
But yeah, happy to see through another Ramadan (almost) alhamdullilah, but it's scary how quick it's gone. I mean last 10 days already? It honestly hasn't felt like it!
And surprisingly, during exam season, (maybe because I was so bogged down with revision), but I didn't feel the hunger at all (for reference, living in the UK so suhoor is 3am and iftaar is at 9.30pm), and I thought it would have been difficult, but wallahi making duaa, allah makes things so much easier for you, and it's overall, barakaat Ramadan that makes everything easier, because fasting on other non-ramadan days, have always felt more difficult!
Hope everyone is doing well and is in good health. Shame to see what happened to Rusty -- hope it's not a perma ban!

I've lost similar to that amount but I was already really skinny.
Most likely because of all of the junk you eat during this month lol.
Anyway, we're in the final stretch and it's gone past so quick. Sometimes during the fast I wish it goes back quicker but I invariably end up missing the month and longing for it after it ends.
Insha'Allah I plan to fast Mondays and Thursdays throughout the year! It's really good for you and helps one feel so much better and more alert.

Not really, I didn't get a direct response from anyone saying what a madhab is.
I know, I use wikipedia for a lot of stuff, just would've been nice coming from you since I was conversing with you.
that's what I don't understand, you say there's nothing stopping me for choosing different schools for different issues - what about my personal beliefs? In fact, aren't those exactly what would dictate me choosing between the different rules in each different schools?
that's tough to follow (not your post) - there are certain things presumably even with the hanafi madhab that I don't agree. other things that I straight up disobey but that's a different story.
How the hell would we know if they are destined for the hellfire man? Just because they weren't Muslim? judgement is between them and god. we don't know what god thinks of each person. and also it sounds like you're saying that conversely, all Muslims are destined for paradise just by being Muslim and that definitely cannot be the case. I don't think being Muslim has to be a prerequisite in earning paradise - but it is supposed just be a huge helping hand in this reality.
And I cannot agree with that rule you bolded and underlined. So it's okay to care about non Muslims while they're alive, but we're not supposed to care about them after they pass away? What I mean by that is that we care about them in life so we do dua, but then we cease that sort of caring because they weren't a Muslim in this life? I don't agree with that at all. That is wrong. If that's the general Muslim belief, I cannot associate with it. No disrespect, perhaps this is something that i'll have to have an explanation from god itself, if this really is the way it is.
let's do it. can we do it this week?What he said, I'm down for another meet and greet if ye are.
that's how I've largely been following it. i'm a muslim in the sense that I believe in god, I can resonate with the first half of the shahada but lately I cannot really resonate with the second half. so in that sense, I have trouble identifying as a muslim.
so sure maybe my msa was coming off as pricks but what if they were implementing the true islamic thought?
can you do sometime this week?I'm down. PM me if you guys are around during the weekends since I dont fast that often during the work week
which is fine, if that's how they want to live their lives but yeah if they start going all haram police on everyone who isn't as wrapped up in religion it's going to get annoying. everyone's journey with and to god is different, and goes at each and everyone's own pace.
na man, on the weekends I go upstate. if it works better for y'all in the weekend then you should meet up, but i can meet up with you guys if we do a weekday
I think this was the point where you PMed me right?
if saturday works out better for the two of you, by all means meet up. i don't think i can make it but lemme know if you guys wanna do a weekday

So just got a message from one of my friends that this happened back home:

Alhamdulilah, no one was hurt.

Only one week to go. How are you guys feeling so close to the endline?
Good to hear they're safe.
Good to hear they're safe.
I had been working out for about 7 months prior to Ramadan. I continued to do lighter resistance workouts starting thirty mins before maghrib. Two weeks ago my back became really sore so I stopped. I started again yesterday. Bad idea. My chest and back are destroyed. Pulled the muscles real bad I think. Definetly not gonna workout next time.
That sucks. I actually started working out last October and have been pretty consistent about working out while fasting. My strength is mostly the same but I'm definitely more tired throughout. Other than that, I'm feeling fine besides some dehydration.But yeah you should definitely take it easy.
Definitely feeling more disciplined, but man I would be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to my first morning coffee in a month next week.
I might need to do like those Saudi princes and take a vacation to a place in Ramadan where you don't need to fast for 18/19hrs a day.
Learned this lesson before and don't even attempt to work out during
Can't wait to start again after
I cherish the weekend for this reason. The only time I can drink the sweet black nectar without having to worry about sleep.
And to break your bones on the first day
Won't be able to move for a week after first day i betI cherish the weekend for this reason. The only time I can drink the sweet black nectar without having to worry about sleep.

You're talking about tobacco right? It's makrooh or haram depending on your school of thought(there's debate within them still).Makrooh = Heavily discouraged but not outright haram, but it shares side effects with haram substances.

I heard a school teacher complain about 8 year olds not being able to study because they're fasting. I thought this would be reserved to adult.
At what age did you start?

That's odd. 13 is not the definite age, it's actually when you hit puberty, though I doubt an 8-year-old has hit puberty already lol.
I think some are just trying it out or seeing what it's like.

Asalaamu Alaykum all,
Thought I'd drop by and say Ramadan Mubarak, though the end of the month already approaches! Hope your fasting has been beneficial.
Sydney times are short so I haven't felt the fast as much, glad that from now on the time will increase insha'Allah. I spent a bit of the time in Lombok, which was actually pretty cool. I've travelled during Ramadan before and always felt it was a waste, but as Lombok is majority Muslim it was actually pretty awesome.

Man, can't believe the end of Ramadan is near. While it messed up my sleeping cycle, I enjoyed fasting and I really hope I keep on fasting throughout the whole year.
Dude, Don't smoke.
Even if there was no religious reason, Its bad for your health, teeth, character and your wallet.

It's a form of self-harm, which I'm sure you're aware of, so you can deduce for yourself how bad that would be. Especially on Eid, of all days.
But if you insist on celebrating the holiest day in Islam like that, be sure to buy the most luxurious/expensive brand of cigarettes for that day

Smoking cigarettes is makruh, but I wasn't talking about tobacco.
No.
it's not ramadan on eid, but it's eid...it's not just another day. that's why i'm wondering if, considering it is a holiday, doing something i shouldn't be doing would be worse on that day.
I'm deadass. I've refrained from smoking this entire month, but I want to do it again. God knows this.
This time I didn't have to pay for it. Why is it worse for my character? When I'm fucked up, that's the real me.
Okay, so I won't do it on Eid. I'll do it the next day.

Tobacco or not, I'd still discourage you from it.

it's not really about the smoking it's about the getting high.
Sorry to butt in but you should really consider refraining from smoking. The whole point of ramadan isnt just to stop doing something for 30 days and then begin your old habits again when its over. It makes no difference if you are doing it on Eid or after Eid, because your intention is want to go back to your old ways. I am sure it is addictive, much like the things we supposed to refrain from are addictive such as checking out women, premarital sex, etc.
One of the main reasons I never smoked is partly due to my uncle suffering from cancer at a young age and passing away at the age of 29. Reflecting upon it now, he wouldve been in his early 40s, and when I see my mates light up a fag, I actually have to tell them not to smoke in front of me because it gives me such a negative feeling, so much so that reminder to them has started to make them stop smoking too. It had taken them a year but they quit.
That few minutes you have smoking isnt worth the long term effect. Last thing you want is going to a doctor and finding out you have cancer or something because you smoked, because itll be a whole case of "damn wish i didnt do it" etc.
At the end of the day im only a forumer and have no right to judge how you live your life or what you should be doing, but you should really do everything possible to refrain yourself, even if it means cutting back weekly till the point you stop. At the end of the day, you will be judged accordingly by God, and your excuse wouldnt be sufficient in saying "oh it was addictive". God made the bad things addictive so God can test our commitment towards him.
Just my 2 cents
I don't take days off, I just come in a little later than usual so I can make the morning prayer.
I've booked Wednesday and Thursday off.
Nice, I may do Wednesday.

Late response but I cant chill on weekdays. I'm just too tired after work haha. I'm still down for this weekend if anyone in NYC wants to grab iftar.
Got a review coming up. Pray I get a nice raise!
Dont do it. Weed is really stupid man.
Good to see you again. Hope all is well!
I started around age 7, but my parents only allowed me to fast on weekends until I was in middle school. Luckily Ramadan usually fell during winter months so it was pretty doable even as a teen.
I knowwwww. I always get a little depressed around the end of Ramadan. The first week is so festive. You see friends and family all the time. The middle becomes like a lull where you just kind of get into a routine and it doesn't feel as special. But the last week is when things get back to being exciting as everyone makes time for each other as the end draws near. My favorite time of the year.
