Hoşgeldin ya şehri Ramazan!
I don't believe in God and I wasn't religious even when I did, so no fasting for me. But Ramazan has a wonderful feeling of festival in Turkish culture and that warms my hardened heart lol.

It's a no brainer but in case people are actually thinking of cutting/dieting:

i bought tekken 6 for psp to play during break time at work now (coz I won't be eating lunch for the next 30 days) ideally i should be praying zuhr during this time but the only place to do that would be my car and it'd be uncomfortably hot most of the time probably and doing wudhu in the workplace bathroom would be a mess.

I need to visit Turkey one day. Ever since my Islamic Architecture class in university, I've been dying to see the Hagia Sophia and the other famous mosques in person.
One day ;_;

hows working out during fasting go? I usually only eat once a day anyways, but obviously able to drink and such after working out. First time trying during ramadan
I'm serious man. Islam isn't as rigid as many think it is lol. Obviously it is best to do the whole motions and standing etc, but if you can't find a place to stand and pray or anywhere clean, sitting should be just fine. What matters most is that you keep your prayers. God is merciful

Yeah it should be fine. I mean if you get some water inside your mouth, you can't help it, but if you're brushing or rinsing your mouth for the sole purpose of sneaking some water in, then that's not good. That's what I was taught anyways, any other Muslim-GAF want to chime in?

thanks. and I am not only the only son but I'm the only child. I'm all my parents have. is that what you meant as well or are your siblings away from home or something?
I shoulda drank more water this morningIt's only 9:05 AM and I'm already thirsty.
same. we talkin lifting weights here? coz I'm gonna do that after iftar. that's what makes sense to me and that's what gold's gym egypt suggets anyways, lol. if you're doing cardio I think it's best to do so 1-2 hours right before iftar so as thirsty as you get you'll be able to quench as soon as possible.
yeah, my parents have done stuff like this. so i should like whisper the words to myself or say them in my head or something? and should I need wudhu?I'm serious man.

it's not just allowed, it is necessary. we gotta stay hygienic, man!
I agree. I find also make sure to brush my tongue and even though it's putting taste on, by common sense I think it should be allowed to avoid halitosis. In my experience, not eating but talking a lot throughout the day can make your breath smell.

Its gonna be some light dumbell work and some body exercises, but I usually do it around 2 hours before iftar I guess

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Gonna be my first ramazan while doing weightlifting and I'm probably also gonna try to go after breaking fast. Hydration and carbs are just too important.

the only thing with that (and it'll affect me as well) is that since it's the friggin summer you probably won't be able to make it to your local masjid for the full 20 tarabis. planet fitness closes at 7 on saturdays so for Ramadan i'll be moving my shoulders/traps day to friday, and i'll do tarabis on Saturday. inshAllah.
I also hope this'll be the year I fully complete the Qur'an in Arabic.
Either is fine, but if you do it in your head, be sure to focus on the words and making them whole. And yes, you need wudhu.

probably wont do taraweeh on the weekdays just due to time constraint. Even when I go with my parents we'd do isha and 8 at the masjid since it would be around 1am when they'd finish 20 and my parents cant handle that many anymore lol.

I think I was at this two summers ago. I forget the name, it was the one built by Mehmet for one of his sons that died young. Anyways, it was beautiful from inside and out. My hotel was a two minute walk from it so I would go for Fajr prayer there. The qirat, the garden surrounding it, the interior, everything was beautiful.
I brush and use alcohol-free mouthwash. As with everyting, there are varying opinions. I make sure not to swallow anything (why would anyone want to swallow toothpaste or mouthwash anyways =| )
Whenever I think fasting might be too hard, I remember the Palestinians and Syrians who are fasting in 100+ degree weather with no air-conditioning cause their homes were destroyed in war and think.. ok I have no excuse.
It's only 9:05 AM and I'm already thirsty.
Its 11:05 am and I have a headache
First couple of days are always the hardest, guys. Keep on going strong, iA!
It's from 4:30 to 9:30 here so a solid 17 hours.
