Happy Ramadan

At least you tried. I drink at least 5 liters at night - try beating that! ;D It really helps - you wont feel thirsty the next day. Also drink a lot for your pre-dawn meal and drink lots of water before dawn. Maybe you'll make it tomorrow, GW.
I will try

What makes you think he failed ...maybe he passed more than many others Allahu Alim.
Rev keep it up; the first time is never easy, especially in long summers days, but to be able to avoid food till sunset is an excellent achievement. bravo -

I think you did extremely well Rev, I just wonder how many people will do something so difficult outside their beliefs to show brotherhood of the one true system given to us by God.
Peace

Thank you. I do not have to do it, there is no fast at Ramadan in Christianity, I am doing it, to show support for my Muslim brothers and sisters and hopefully bring us closer.

As-Salamu Alaikum my brothers! Happy Ramadan...I have missed the fast because for physical issues. I plan to fast next month, insha'Allah. Pray for me as you are in my prayers. The doctor found a spot on my lung on an X-Ray. I am not sure where this medical revelation will take me, but I am assured fo God's mercy and compassion. I worry less for me than for my wife and children. My pulminologist appointment is 9.8.2009. I am sure that I will be undergoing tests ans such...perhaps my plans for a fast next month is not realistic, but they are my plans none-the-less. May God's peace be upon you all.

Salaam Aleikum Dariush,
I pray that the pulmonologist will find the spot on your lung is harmless and that you will have many more happy and healthy years by the grace of God.

Expensive Ramadan eat
Come Ramazan, and the price of food goes through the roof. The holy month has become synonymous with the unholy greed of the bazaar. In many other countries, such occasions are used by traders to offer generous discounts to consumers to make the observance of rituals affordable. But in Pakistan, exploiters have no qualms about fleecing customers at such times.In fact, this year the sugar millers forced the government to halve the general sales tax rather than see their profit margins reduced to bring the commodity within the reach of the common man. This, when one rule of thumb has it that on average a sugar-mill owner makes enough in a year to set up another outlet.
Nevertheless, it is the state?s responsibility to look after the minimum food needs of its people at all times. Ramazan-related food subsidies have never worked because of a defective delivery system. Such schemes add to the hardship of the poor who are made to stand in long queues for hours, often in the scorching heat, only to return home empty-handed because others have beaten them to it. There is another unsavoury side to the story. Some of us have turned the month of fasting into a month-long food festival. eat eat eat eat eat eat
Considering the way in which food is gorged at dawn and dusk by both the haves and the have-nots it is not surprising that food items otherwise in adequate supply become scarce overnight. This increase in demand spurs the hoarding of Ramazan-related items, causing them to be in limited supply in the market, thus aggravating shortages and resulting in price hikes.
