What is the best way to look after your body in Ramadan?

End with plain yogurt - good to fight thirst.

(I think another member started a similar topic off recently)

"For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone'" - David Cameron, UK Prime Minister. 13 May 2015.

Feed it with the deep affection and love of our Lord, Almighty Allah and of the beloved Messenger Muhammad Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam. Feed it with the beautiful words of the Holy Quran and much Durood and Duas too. Feed it with patience, perseverance and with the best of intentions. Feed it with spirituality, enthusiasm, the desire to earn reward and the ultimate aim to reach Jannah. With so much going into your body, it would be nice to vomit out any bad deeds that we do and any habits that we shouldn't have picked up. I think you're body and soul will be in perfect shape, even with just a few adjustments! Ramadhan Mubarak!

What do you mean 'actual' thing? It's like saying Eid Mubarak but replacing the Eid with Ramadhan. People, not just us crazy kids - say it, to welcome this blessed month.

I think its quite a common, old thing.

Other places have other phrases too. "Ramadan Kareem".

abt teh ramdan kareem thing

Saying Ramadan Kareem explained by Shaykh Uthaymin

Questioner: When the fasting person falls into a sin and he is prohibited from that sin he will say, Ramadan Kareem. So what is the ruling concerning this phrase and what is the ruling concerning this behavior?

Shaykh Uthamin: said:

The ruling concerning this is, this phrase Ramadan Kareem is not correct, and the only phrase that should be said is Ramadan Mubarak or what resembles that. Because Ramadan is not the one that gives such that it can be called generous (Kareem), rather it is only Allah the Exalted that put virtue in it and made it a virtuous month and made the time period for performing (the fasting) a pillar from Islam.

And it is as though the one who said this thinks that due to the nobility of this month it is permissible to commit sins. And this is in opposition to what the people of knowledge have said (for they have said) that the sins are multiplied if they are done during virtuous times or noble places so this is the opposite of what this person has assumed.

And they have said that it is incumbent upon the person to have Taqwa of Allah the Mighty and Majestic during every time and in every place especially during virtuous times and in noble places.

And Allah the Mighty and Majestic says:

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

“Oh you who believe fasting has been prescribed for you like it was prescribed for those before you that you may obtain Taqwa.”

So the wisdom behind the obligation of fasting is to gain Taqwa of Allah the Mighty and Majestic by doing what He has ordered and avoiding what He has prohibited. And it has been established that the Prophet peace and blessing be upon him said:

من لم يدع قول الزور، والعمل به، والجهل، فليس لله حاجة في أن يدع طعامه وشرابه
Whoever does not abandon falsehood in word and action, then Allah Mighty and Majestic has no need that he should leave his food and drink.

Therefore fasting is worship for Allah and cultivation for the soul and a safeguard for it from the prohibitions of Allah. And it is not like this one without knowledge has said that due to the nobility of this month and its blessing, sinning is allowed in it.

Saying Ramadan Kareem explained by Shaykh Fawzan

Question: The statement “Ramadan Kareem”, is not Allah Al Kareem?

Answer: This has no basis. Their statement Ramadan Kareem, this has no basis. As for “Ramadan Shareef”, “Ramadan Mubaarik”, “Ramadan Atheem”, these descriptions appear in various narrations. Atheem, Mubaarik, Shareef, there is no problem (with these terms). As for Kareem, then I do not know of any origin for this.
