    Because the measurement of time we use is based on the rotation of the Earth and its orbit around the sun, once you leave the Earth, that measurement can no longer exist (even though we still use it in spacecrafts), also, the faster you go the slower time will travel (Earth time that is).

    thank you! I'm about to break my fast in about 5 minutes!

              I wish you a truly spiritual and uplifting experience of fasting in Ramadan. I hope you?ve experienced how that first drink after fasting rejuvenates your body like rain to a parched land. hail
              And then ahh there is nothing like a nice after dinner tea in Ramadan, the most relaxing drink of the year. How we appreciate little pleasures, which go unnoticed otherwise. )
              peace

                Happy Ramadan to all! After the first day of fasting I have some friendly advice to offer U.S. fasters. After a long day of fasting one may want to re-consider going to Golden Corral (a popular all-you-can-eat buffet), as my wife and I broke our fast there today.

                I rampaged and ate everything in sight. I think I may have eaten a small child that got in my way on to the dessert section. The fine folks at Golden Corral definitely lost money on me today, and a mother, her precious child.

                So yeah, just some advice for y'all Fasting + all you can eat buffet = stomach ache/1 hour of cardio at gym to compesate/missing the point of Ramadan entirely. laugh

                        As-Salmu `Alaykum

                        Please visit this site to download your pocket size guide to Ramadan. Very good prayers inside.

                        http//www.endpovertyfast.com/Static/download/pocket_guide.pdf

                        P.S. Rev.John you were looking for some prayers not long ago, maybe you will find some of interest from the pocket guide.

                        God bless

                        Hope

                                  Well, I failed as far as the drinking was concerned, lasted until 2pm and had to have some water. Did not eat until sunset.

                                    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.

                                          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
