Do you guys miss me ramadan?
Who are you? I don't remember u. But i remember Ramadan section used to be great place of sharing knowledge. I changed my whole belief about Islam after learning a lot from many great users who used to hang around this section back then. Now this place is filled with trolls and haters who spend 24 hours preaching bullshit and moving relevant questions from here to different sections.
What will u miss about Ramadan?
I'll miss the wonderful dinners that were set out on the table every evening for us to feast on. I'll miss the religious spirits that took hold of our home and caused us to remember Allah in great abundance. I'll miss ramadan parties that would take place every now and then with extended family and friends. And I'll miss the size 1 pair of jeans I bought this month that will no longer fit me 2 weeks from now.
Can you tell me what I need to know about Ramadan?
You may Already we well know that Ramadan is a holy period for Muslims that is marked by reflection and fasting during the day.The 30-day holiday is based on the lunar calendar and officially begins in the United States. This year, Ramadan will last from May 26 until June 24. butHere are Top 3 Things You Should Know About Ramadan1) The correct greeting to those observing the holiday is “Ramadan Mubarak” or “Ramadan Kareem,” which wishes them a blessed or generous Ramadan.2) Practicing adult Muslims do not consume food or water during the daylight hours of Ramadan, but just as importantly they also try to refrain from spiritually negative practices such as gossiping, lying, swearing and arguing.3) While they may never ask, your Muslim friends will most likely appreciate it if you don’t tempt them by deliberately eating, drinking or smoking in front of them and if you show patience for any hunger-induced crankiness.Article Source : Top 3 Things You Should Know About RamadanArticle Credits ; Top Threez
Ramadan::::So long, farewell to you my friends?
<--- my name clearly says 'leaving 4 good soon'. Well that soon is now. I wasnt a practicing muslim when i first came to this section. Then i just so happened to see all you wonderful muslims and i really dont know, but i though to myself, "What am i doing? I claim to be muslim yet i dont act like a muslim does." Alhamdulliah, now i may not be the best muslim out there, but i am a whole lot better than i was before. I just want to thank of you. Why am i leaving? I have been in this section since 2006! But with many different accounts of course. Honestly, i dont know the real reason im leaving. Next week on Friday im headed off to the middle east((Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Jordan, and UAE)) and i will probably have no time to come on. Next year im headed off to highschool, yes i know im going to be in 10th grade, but where i live you start highschool in 10th grade, yes its lame. So anyways, with me starting highschool i need to be totally focused with my school work since im taking a crap load of hard classes. That doesnt mean i wont come on, but i wont be on like i am now..or used to be. I also want to thank you guys for introducing me to many different cultures. I dont mean to sound ignorant, but i had no idea Indian-muslims exsisted before i came here. Where i live there are really no muslims. So you guys were my own little muslim community online haha. Now, its time for the people who i just adored and helped me with whatever to recieve a shout-out ((this is in no order what so ever))::: --Anonymouse --Amouna --Allahs Slave --Es Ay Ar Ay --Ikram --Saj --One ummah --Pedram --Under the black flag --Ninja and ducky --Hanifa --Fariha --Alessio Ibrahim --Wazeer --Ninety9 --funky --adeeb --lebanese --Amallay --Ranoush --Sarah. A --Wolverine --Sara ((((The bosnian not the persian one)) --sahar --LuLu --WazGud --Hibaqaye --Ayah --Balasim --Ana Ismee Falasteeni ...((its writen in arabic)) --Dawn --YLHG --She said --Saadia --Moonlight --Fashion progidy --Mo --Just a faris Some of these people you may know and some you may not know. Those are the people that i will always remeber and miss. So i guess this is good-bye. Take care everyone
Making up Ramadan if you miss it...for women
Thank you all! I searched online and I found my answer here.. http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satel... I have already missed 2 Ramadans due to being pregnant with my first child and breastfeeding him during the following Ramadan. I am going to miss this one as well as next years, as long as breast feeding goes well Insha'Allah. So I understand what I must do. Thank you for your advice as it is much appreciated. And to the person to said why would I want to starve myself...I would fast and suffer for the day to experience what more than half of the earths population goes through everyday and to save myself from going to Hell. I plan to go to heaven and in order to do that I must follow Islam and do everything that God, Allah asks us to do. Obviously you do not have respect for yourself or else you would want to enjoy your afterlife in heaven as well. Life is a test and I am going to do my best to pass
What does Ramadan mean to you?
Living in Qatar, Ramadan was a major aspect of my life growing up in that country. The streets get decked up in preparation for Eid ul-Fitr. Cars are parked on roads during midday and Taraweeh prayers, blocking few lanes. Sometimes the adventurous one will also pray on the roads if the mosques are at full capacity.Amazing street food with many new dishes that are specifically made during Ramadan. On the 14th night of Ramadan, the festival of Garangao is celebrated where children dress up and go around the locality , collecting sweets and chocolates. This is kind of like Qatari Halloween.The Iftaar cannon fired in the evening, signifying the end of the fast for the day.The mothers of my Muslim friends would sent to my home some of the Iftaar food they prepare. I get to taste Malabari , Bangladeshi and Hyderabadi food all in one month. The shopping spree seen at malls and local souqs (markets).The Suhoor (early morning) buffet made at our community club.I miss the days of Ramadan I experienced as non-Muslim in Qatar. Though I have fond memories to keep me company.Ramadan Kareem to all the Muslims on Quora. Hope this year's fast will be an enlightening experience for you all.
What do you love about Ramadan? Ramadan is just around the corner. What are you looking forward to?
The change :The change in mindset : I start getting positive energy from within. You call it the faith or the bond with the almighty. I feel much closer to spirituality which as a whole brings a positivity in my mindset.The change in body language :The body language changes drastically, you start experiencing a higher level of tolerance within yourself. You start being more calm and composed. There comes a so called calmness in thoughts and actions. Patience becomes your suite.The change in surrounding : Ramjaan/Ramadan brings along that highly sprited dawn and soothing dawns. You just don't wake up by the chirpings of bird anymore but you see them closely as they fly high in sky. You start appreciating even the tiny creation of the almighty. You feel that the world is a better place, when there's love around. You see that care and concern for you even in your non Muslims brothers/sisters. The change in ideology : As the holy month arrives , the person who got irked even on small things transforms. Completely. That frowny face turns into a gleamy one. You start thinking twice before acting. You start realising how wrongly you have been living till date. And most importantly you start realising, the world is in need of love and compassion. There are many out there who need it , so shower that selflessly. That's what your religion teaches you. Or rather I'll say, that's what every religion teaches you.So yes I love this Change.. And I really wish it stays permanently with me :)PS : On a lighter note , you'll experience change in weight too :p
What are some tips/advice for those fasting in Ramadan?
My biggest advice:Drink a lot in the morning - I don't miss the food as much as I miss the water. So the biggest thing I have found is to drink a lot and eat food that has a lot of juice in it (oranges, apples, etc) in the morning.Try to stay busy or sleeping - while you are busy or sleeping, you are not thinking about eating or drinking.Don't try dieting - I see a lot of questions about dieting or just starting working out during Ramadan, I highly recommend against doing this. If you are really into dieting, you are already taking in less calories (assuming you don't gorge pre-fajr or iftar), so dieting is a non-issue, just make sure you are getting enough nutrients. And starting working out is a definite no, if you are working out correctly you will sweat, and sweating will make fasting harder, if not impossible (dehydration). So please, if you do not know what you are doing do not try this!Don't gorge at iftar - you will be in pain, and you will look uncivilized.Read Qur'an - We constantly focus on the physical aspects of Ramadan, but that is only half of it. The not eating is supposed to help you grow closer to your deen and be able to empathize better. So this is the ideal time to take Allah(SWT) instruction better.Do Better! - It doesn't have to be anything big like achieving world peace; maybe you are not praying all each salat, maybe you haven't made dua' in a while. Ramadan is the time to do better so at least try, Allah (SWT) promises that every effort and intention (for good) will be rewarded, so you have nothing to loose and everything to gain.
What's the difference between "I'll miss you" and "You will be missed"?
When I say “I'll miss you,” I'm talking about me. My feelings, my values, my attitude.When I say “You'll be missed,” I'm talking about you. Your specialness, what you add to the relationship or relationships pertinent to the sentiment.It really is that simple. Passive construction is useful when what matters at the moment is what's happening to whom rather than who's doing it.Sure, the passive is a way of avoiding saying something, e.g., ‘I'll miss you, but I dare not say so” or “There'll be people who miss you, but I ain't among ‘em.” That doesn't change the “rule,” though.
