Well, a lot of people probably avoid the sections they cannot fully participate in, so maybe not as many non-Muslims will see it here as they would if it were in another section.

To Omar Al Khayyam,
I'd like to say that fasting makes Muslims feel the poor around the world, and it teaches them to give, you can't imagine the amount of free food tables that are held in Ramadan for anyone and the amount of charity that is given to those in need.

so true. exact the same here. they make very big places like huge tents and anyone who enters would be served food.

Out of curisoty, how did religion prevent you from providing food for your children or your parents for you?

It is not a question of "preventing" anything.

It is the hypocrisy of a rich well fed privileged class of religious authorities "serving" a populace of dirt poor farmers and miners for whom just getting dinner for today was major problem.

But those tithes on Sunday - God said do it now.

i agree we should always care for others. we do not need special times to do that. but point you are missing is that i, personally can not effort seing a doctor. i do not have money that much so i live on daily bases. but that would not stop me from helping or feeding someone who's hungry. i might not be able to do that every single day but there are many more people in society who's able to help. i can understand the way you think but i do not reach the same conclusion. i would not hold myself back and do nothing just because i know i could not do it tomorrow.

i wonder if i misunderstood him :confused: i thought he was saying that we help poor only in Ramadan and other times we don't (and that's not true) so it means nothing.

In any event the OP ASKED how I came to be "fasting."

So I told him.

i am sorry but i did not get it. you chose to go fasting and you do it for Allah, you do not do it to starve or to suffer. it is done to be close to Allah. if one did not have that intention then he would suffer physically because he would not get help of Allah. so istill do not understand how come fasting was not your choice.

Don't worry about it. He decided to twist the meaning of the word fast/fasting to vent about his family not being able to afford food.

I'm sorry. :foot: I was under the impression that Islam WAS a religion.

Where did I get THAT idea?:confused:

It seems to me that you are here to share your rudeness and ignorance but for your unfortunate luck, it's the wrong thread. Blaming religion in a thread talking about fasting, giving and compassion is incredibly ignorant. Why don't you educate yourself, instead?

thanks for explaining:) he could have made a good point about starving people of our planet. because i think if some people are starving to death, the rest of humanity is responsible of it. but i am afraid the way he approaches makes it difficult for me to understand him.

oh!! sun rised in England and Kai woke up hahaha

GOOD MORNING!!! :D


here you go;

you wake up before sun rises, like 45 min. before and you eat and drink water then you do not eat or drink (or have sex or kiss) whole day until sun sets. also if you must take medicines, i mean if you are ill then you do not go fasting. it i adviced not to eat very heavy food in the morning and at night when you eat you should eat light stuff and a 1-2 hours later you can eat anything you want so your stomach would not have a shock.
