Ramadhan Mubarak everyone... Having my 2nd time fasting during summer, but unlike last year I don't have any part time job this time. So, 17+ hours of fasting will end up as 10 hours due to sleep

I start work at 6:30AM....this is gonna be rough.
My luck is that, the camping holidays I booked coincided with the first few days of the month. I have been kicking myself for not knowing when Ramadhan was and now I have to fast while being there (I know I can break my fast as a traveller but I don't want to :/)
I really hope I pray as much this month than I did last year. I barely went to the mosque back then!

Ramadan mubarek to all, I wish you a blessed month and good luck to those of you fasting.
Honestly, I never look forward to this time of the year. I dread it.
icelanders get it pretty rough too, I think.

aside from what others have said ramadan stands for, I find it to also be a sort of, checkpoint in the year for Muslims.

Happy Ramadan to all my Muslim chums!
However, this thread wasted it's byline. Obviously it should have been "gotta go fast!"

That's for 2016
Ramadan Mubarak.
What is the consensus (if any) on providing food to the poor in place of fasting? How many families/persons to feed and how much to provide per day (meals?) or for the whole month? Just wondering because I have a hard time fasting and not seeing concrete data on this.

In the Hanafi madhab missed fasts have to be made up at a later date.

Ramadan Mubarak.
It's going to be a very long ramadan...
16 hours of fasting, I don't mind the food but the water in this hell heat ;_;
Dear god!

At what time you folks usually sleep at night during Ramadan? I have this issue where I just can't sleep before midnight and during Ramadan it can fuck me up real good since I need to wake up for Sahoor, hahaha.

that applies to reward but not fulfilment of the obligation as far as I am aware. Feeding a fasting person is a source of great reward but doing so does not take the place of fasting yourself.
Okay. Thanks for the clarification.
I stay up until suhuur, which is 3 O'clock in the morning. Get around 5 hour sleep and wake up around 8, work and come back just to sleep until iftar.

If only that is possible during weekdays, hahaha
What work are you doing if you don't mind me asking? Seems like a really flexible schedule!

Ramadan mubarak everyone. Thanks Rusty for the thread. 18+ hours here. 3:30 am to 9:45 pm. May god helps us all. Not only from food prospective but from all prospective i want my ramadan to be successful insha allah.

I am a Teacher.Thankfully, my schedule is kind of flexible, since I work in a small private school. So I finish work earlier than many teachers out there. But I also assume that would also work for you no? I mean, you get 5 hour sleep after suhuur and another 3 hours before maghreb?

Impossible, since I work at regular office hours from 8 AM to 5 PM.
A friend of mine shared this app with me called Ramadan Legacy (available on Android and iOS).
It has a number of uses, like setting goals for yourself throughout the month, journaling your thoughts, keeping track of each day you've fasted, prayed (even which prayers, if not all of them), if you've read the Qur'an or attended Taraweeh that night, etc.
I'll mainly be using it to keep track of the days in which I did fast and prayer consistency because I always forget how many I've missed. Useful since I waste so many days on my phone. Maybe it'll be of some use to you, as well. Good luck~ ^^
