hi germannnnnn :2wave:Hey Medusa, happy Ramadan!
How do you celebrate it?
some verses about ramadan
[2:184] Specific days (are designated for fasting); if one is ill or traveling, an equal number of other days may be substituted. Those who can fast, but with great difficulty, may substitute feeding one poor person for each day of breaking the fast. If one volunteers (more righteous works), it is better. But fasting is the best for you, if you only knew.
[2:185] Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. GOD wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and to glorify GOD for guiding you, and to express your appreciation.
Happy Ramadan to you, Medusa.
May you enjoy the peace and comfort it brings to you.
Hey Medusa, happy Ramadan!

I could not think of a less appropriate 'word', for starving myself (not literally of course) for the month :lol:
Paul
learning how to endure hunger is a good thing maybe :lol:
Not in my opinion. Breaking the siege of Sarajevo, in Bosnia, I had to endure a good few weeks of very limited rations, that was enough for me....I have a big appetite:lol:

By the way, what do you do in Islam when, say, the doctor tells you that fasting is fine, but you should drink water? Does that mean it doesn't count at all?
Just asking, because that happened to me... I didn't eat from sunrise to dawn, but drank water, as the doctor told me. My fellows said there is no specific rule for that, and it's something between God and me. In the end, it's the right spirit that counts.
Anyway, after hours of not eating, it was a great experience that the first meal was much more tasty than usual.
There are "Fasting is an obligation" portrayals here and there. But no, I am not fasting neither. I have a tight schedule.
Unlike people in the middle east who lay back from morning till night some of us have real work to do! But you know me, I would not fast even then.
worship has no obligation ,it is not tax paying :lol:
but charity in islam may subsitute for tax paying:mrgreen:
There is always a tendency of dogma and to make things obliged in any religious organization.
yes ,people make it hard to believe in god
Happy Ramadan Medusa..
Barış seninle olsun!!
İt is irony ? wolfie :2razz:
