Ramadan
-
I voted "When I can" because this is the first Ramadan I plan to fast alhamdulillah
a few months ago I met a fellow muslim on a social networking site and was asking her about ramadan as I was curious if it really ment that one would have to go through the whole part of daylight without any water and she was telling me that her and her family would get up before dawn and drink a lot of water before the day starts...
hopefully this method would work for the landscaper I am. i tend to have to hydrate a lot on the job as i seem to naturally sweat profusely working in the heat. whether I end up having to hydrate on a work day, i figure this is between God and I...but my senses tell me I shouldn't worry about this now, i'll cross that bridge when i get there, i just can't help thinking about it time to time...especially after today, i must have drank two gallons of water just to stay strong out there in the fieldPeace newform
The nature of your job is difficult and fasting could make it dangerous for you. I think you can do it but you should have started conditioning your body to get used to it. However, God tells us that if it is difficult then we can feed the poor instead. Why not fast on your days off and feed the poor on your days where you work.
2184 A few number of days; however, if any of you is ill or traveling,
then the same number from different days; and as for those who
can do so but with difficulty, they may redeem by feeding the
needy. And whoever does good voluntarily, then it is better for
him. And if you fast it is better for you if only you knew.Peace

Wow..you made it without having to drink water?! If I play this season my training would be like from 330 pm until 5 pm...sucks. If I play I'll probably not fast/water fast.
I keep well-hydrated before the fast begins, chug down a lot of water from the point of iftar. I don't know what it is exactly but I don't get thirsty often. But I wouldn't do something foolish like not drink at all before the fast starts of course.
Then again...maybe I'm just a camel!

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...
In London fast starting at fajar/dawn around 3.45 am, sunrise around six, sunset around 8 pm and it changes as the day gets shorter check timing for your area.
Wishing you the best of the month of Ramadan peace -

If you xcant fast on a day in Ramadan, then
- You fast on a different day in the year
(But if this is difficult for you then)
- You feed the needy
Fasting on a different day is a priority - feeding the needy is the second option, although I guess for busy people option 2 is best.

Generally we see in the OT and NT fasting is a way to cleanse sins and get closer to God. Fasting is great when you break your fast. Its the moment of joy, but it soon turns blue after you eat. I call it the iftar blues, an anti climax after waiting so long and then eating.

Peace,
Respectfully.Can't hardly wait for this year's fasting. I'm working in the kitchen with prohibited meat but the circumstances have forced me into it, otherwise i'd quit.
Even though i work in the kitchen, Thank God, i got food perfectly under control, Thank God.Glory be to our God.

Peace Hope,
Thank you for the bringing this quran verse to my attention. I remember reading this and it's good to know just in case i do have to drink so i don't suffer heat stroke on the job. I feel you are right, I should have taken the time to condition myself earlier...hopefully this time next year i will be working indoors as a medical assistant and won't sweat out so much fluid throughout the day inshallah. God willing I will do the best I can this Ramadan, God is most merciful if I do have to drink I can try again and again throughout the month and if i do slip I can feed the poor, which God knows I should be doing more of anyway as I haven't been paying hardly any zakat lately -

Salamun alaikum people.
Ramadan starts at 22 August in Indonesia, and it's about Isya prayer time as I type this. Masjids start to hold salat tarawih... my mum and sis just went out. I don't go with them.
Out of curiosity, I searched for hadith that supposedly tell people to do salat tarawih.
You know what I find?
Nothing*.
Salat tarawih doesn't even have a basis in hadith.
Now how should I tell my mum and sis about this...
*)There is a Hadith told by Aisha, recorded in Sahih Muslim, that said the Messenger used to perform salat at Ramadan nights, and people flocked to do salat with him. But the Messenger then stopped doing it because he does not want it to be considered obligatory...

Quite true, bro afridi. I come across those hadith as I did my own homework on tarawih.
Even with hadith sources, if tarawih was dropped by the Messenger and called a bid'ah with less value than the night salat (tahajud) by Umar, it's quite surprising how people still managed to consider it something good. It's not in the Qur'an, it's not even suggested by hadith, even called bid'ah by Umar, and yet...
