Ramadan

Why do you feel strongest then? Do you mean spiritually or physically?
Physically, I'm like a hyperactive jock. Very alert also. You'd think an empty stomach = weak but naw, doesn't happen to me. I used to feel weak though until I realised it's just conditioning. One day, I read about soldiers doing PT while fasting, construction workers working while fasting and I thought "Well if they can do it, so can I". Dehydration is a big problem however, so I won't force it if I can't.
Does nuts for me spiritually.

Yes I can see the dehydration problem especially in the country you live and here too.

Peace,
Respectfully.I'm not boasting and portraying myself as a better person by saying this but last two years i tried something new i was fasting for seven consecutive months, without stopping an it helped me, really, because i've been depressed for several years and i've been having problems with a full plate - can't say no to food.
Once you go to months and months of fasting, you learn control and obediance.
Thank God The MOST Merciful for Guidance.

http//www.submission.org/fasting-bible.htmlYes Rev John, you should, fasting is 'common practice', exists in nearly every cultures.. although the time and mechanism varied..
The buddhist fast too... so does the Taoist... and of course Jesus fast as well.. 40 days in the hot sunny dessert? That must be tough!
Objective As a means to develop some self-control..Salam / Peace

my first ramadan was in 06 and that went really well. my hunger peaked around 11am each day especially when i was changing classes at uni and could smell the cookies baking... that was painful! but then once the hunger peak came and went it was ok and not really that bad, maybe my stomach shrank down, plus it was good to be concentrating on my full uni timetable. And i noticed dramatic improvements in my skin condition.
in ramadans 07 and 08 i was pregnant each time and taking all sorts of meds so tried to make up fasting days afterwards but didn't get the same magical feelings as during my first ramadan.
but now i am really looking forward to this ramadan inshallah, though i am not looking forwrd to having to still get my toddler his food cos i know i am gonna be so tempted to put it to my mouth to check temperature, and eat his leftovers... aaargh! somebody said the sunrise is at 3.45? is that the dawn, do you mean? my sunrise is around 6am, so i was thinking about 30 mins before that would be ok to eat a bit, drink plenty and pray...
sorry for bad grammar, typing with 1 hand as baby on my knee!
