Ramadan 2006

Sirus —

Salaam

The month of Ramadan isnt far off now.....over a month i believe. Whom amongst you have been yearning for this month to arrive?

So, are you excited about Ramadan?

How is it going to be different from last Ramadan....what will you do differently, and in what ways will you try to improve?

Do you manage to keep all fasts? Do you find it easy, or hard?

I personally love the feeling of excitement when the month has started.

How much do you eat in this month compared to other months? you scoff yourself at Iftaari time? Who's going to be cooking....and do you enjoy it?!

do you feel spiritually better off in this month, and how would you carry it on thru the rest of the year?

Who goes all taravih's? :o

or is it a normal month for you, or anything you dislike?

share all thoughts and views and stories, and anything to do with the Month of Ramadan

BeastIs all the somosas and kebabs and what not good for your body during Ramadan?

Surely we should be eating fruit and veg and drinking water not binging on fried food come iftaari.

...yea that doesn't sound healthy...

Hang on just a second how can you have fried stuff at all? It's fried in fat... that is Haram isn't it?

Arnt u meant to start Ramdan on the sighting of the moon in the country your living in?

Assalaamu alaikum

Ramadhan mubarak to all, im fasting on monday insha'allah over here..someone told me all mosques in down there were planning to compromise this time.. what happened ? my fam was fasting today.. ramadhan on 3 diferent days i guess same for eid...

ameen to du'as , dua may yaad.

p.s its not advisable to fill the stomach completely at iftaar cos the object of fasting is defeated... and the limbs stay spiritually nourished when the body is starved.

Sirus Sat, 23 Sep 2006 - 21:07

In the Hanafi school, both local and global moon sightings are valid. The mosques in your area which are starting tommorrow.....haven't they technically missed one day of fasting?

MuslimBroIn the Hanafi school, both local and global moon sightings are valid. The mosques in your area which are starting tommorrow.....haven't they technically missed one day of fasting?

It all depends.

Until thsi year there was a fatwa from some deobandi Aalims that Saudi's method was not in accordance with the Shariah.

This year Saudi are supposed to have maybe changed their formula, so that fatwa is no longer valid. However there has been no open verdict to my knowledge by any group wether they accept the changes or not.

As you say both are valid. So, the ones who started fasting on saturday... technically are they not doing one extra? :twisted:
