hahaI used to be a kid that loved sweets but my smart Dad indulged us with tons of sweets during Eid to make us sick of it
to the point that we begged for healthy vegetables instead
Set a standard for 2-4 full (large) glasses of water every suhoor. And I mean this for EVERY suhoor. If you're going to sleep late and might wake up after suhoor ends, drink this before hand. If you're not very hungry that morning, or running out of time, focus on this goal.
Make it a mandatory thing, regardless of whether you feel like it or not. Or even sleep with a glass of water by your bedside, in case of a VERY rushed suhoor (that, and a fruit, like a banana, are good backups for those situations)
Thirst is much harder to deal with than hunger, and if you're fasting in hot places or for very long, staying hydrated is key for your health.
haha
It's the sugary vimto here. Too much is consumed.
Drink of the season.
Water also tastes real good when you've been thristy all day
yeah I know a bunch of people who love drinking that
you basically don't see the drink all year long until Ramadan
it is the Eggnog of some Muslims
haha

Ramadan Kareem everyone. We start tomorrow.
I always gain weight during Ramadan since I always tend to over eat when breaking fast.
good luck! كل عام وانتم بخير
This is the first time in years since I had final exams in Ramadan, and they are in the morning too, usually they would delay it until evening, but my university is only delaying finals that originally were dated in the afternoon this year.
God help me![]()
.One day I will own a wine cellar stocked entirely with Vimto.
Ramadan Mubarak, everyone. I am unable to fast due to health-related reasons, but I always use this time to reflect on the important things in life and enjoy my time with my family. Ramadan doesn't start off very well for me this year as I have the most important exam of my life tomorrow. :/
you're bengali?Cant wait to indulge in Bangladeshi style Balushai and then hate myself for it after every ifter![]()
Christian here. God is calling me to fast so I guess I'll be joining you guys. I'll be doing 40 days straight just water. Pretty sure I'm going to die.
you're bengali?
This is the problem for almost everyone. Food consumption is greater than every other month looking at how crowded supermarkets gets and food sales which should be the opposite.
Anyway, hopefully prayers and all your dreams come true inshallah![]()

Does anyone have advice for making the best out of Ramadan for those who can't fast? I know Ramadhan is more than just fasting, but fasting has always made me feel connected in a way.
Also great title![]()

A revered and spiritual month for Muslims meant for getting closer to god by dedicating yourself to acting, reading the Quran, etc. Not that it's what happens with most, but that's the goal.
It's not just that people eat a lot, it's that they eat a lot at once and do almost nothing all day, or at least that's how it is where I live![]()
1. It's a pillar of Islam, similar to a commandment.
2. The Qur'an was first revealed during the month of Ramadan.
3. The Night of Power (Laylat al Qadr) is during this month. It occurs during the last 10 odd days of Ramadan, and is when the first verses of the Qur'an (read above) were sent down.
4. The gates of heaven are open & Hell closed/demons shackled, what have you.
5. Atone for the sins of the past year through fasting. ¯_(ツ_/¯

Excuse my ignorance as I am not a Muslim. But reading this "As a secondary goal, fasting is a way of experiencing hunger and developing sympathy for the less fortunate, and learning to thankfulness and appreciation for all of God's bounties. Fasting is also beneficial to the health and provides a break in the cycle of rigid habits or overindulgence. " begs me the question how can you gain weight if you are supposed to eat little? Doesn't make sense to me. Any explanation??? Because you said some gain and some lose weight.
I'm moving back home from Umea actually in 3 days, Kiruna is even more sunlight good luck!
