Ramadan, Ramadan, Happy Ramadan!
hehe,
happy?
how is it possible to be happy with Ramadan?

for me Ramadan means staying hungry for hours and hours, have no energy to work, get headache, and wait impatiently for sunset! it makes no difference if you believe in "fasting" or not, you must be hungry and thirsty because GOD wants so!! this is what living in ISLAMIC REPUBLIC means, this is what stupidity means!

don't need to remind me the old funny story about how Ramadan lets us taste the hunger that hurts poor people!, its just deceiving ourselves! if one of those firm fasting ladies or gentlemen agree to spend even 5% of his/her monthly salary for poor hungry people, then i will beleive they really care for them! but just staying hungry and forcing others fast? has nothing to do with poor people! it is silly!

in the company i work, restaurant serves no food during the Ramadan, and if you decide to bring your lunch from home there is no place for eating it. this is how they make you hate Islam and all its nasty rules which are supposed to bring happyness and luckyness for human!

hi Fatema, i'm Eva from Italy, i hope you remember.
can't you just buy something to eat after the sunset and bring it with you (well hidden)at work to eat it the day after at work in the batroom for example?

Nobody should be forced to fast, it is precisely for such matters that people turn against religious laws and don't make any effort to understand them.

Bonjour Fatema,

Some months ago you spoke of those
manto's you are obliged tdo wear and you said you wear it black - though you like colour - because only a black one makes you look slim, if you are not really shaped like a broomstick.

That's where Mosselman ramadam enters the picture. It helps you to get slim, don't you realize, blockhead? And at the end of this dreary period you'll be able to celebrate insite a really snappy manteau.

Dear Fatema,

I'm so sorry you have to suffer so much... being forced to do all those things. I am a practicing Muslim, but I wouldn't want to do it if the government forced it on me. Don't the religious leaders know what the Qur'an says about this? "There is no compulsion in religion." It only means something if you WANT to do it. I don't cover my hair and wouldn't want to. Why are Muslim governments so intent on being so much harder on the women? Btw, congrats on your job. I'm a fellow engineer. Although not a fellow.

Bonjour Fatema,

I have to apologize for what I said yesterday because I had it all wrong.

Friends told me that in your strange government sponsored religion you are not really fasting. You just don't eat during daytime but eat lots after sunset.

Well, I don't know who had that idea but physiologically speaking, it is not advisable to eat much just a few hours before going to sleep.

Sorry, I only wanted to be funny.

One of the last comments made by DUHA said "how dare you say fasting is stupid.....". Now, that strikes me as mighty strange. How can someone be so intolerant. If DUHA appreciates this day-time fasting, ok, why not. But on what grounds impose this on other persons? You live in truly strange surroundings.

This is to Georg, seen as its getting personal. I don't remember asking for your opinion! You assumed straight away that I live in Iran (‘strange surroundings’). To correct your bloody facts, firstly I’m not Iranian and Secondly I live in the UK. I don’t know who the hell you ask for advice about the rules of fasting. Apparently, according to GEORG, we eat a bit during the day, and then we scoff ourselves after sunset, what a loser! Finally, you accused me of imposing this on others. I suggest you read my message again, where exactly have I imposed this on others? I clarified why we fast, nothing more. I personally don’t give a damn what others are doing, I am not the one who will judge God will. By the way, if I am MIGHTY strange, then you’re a MIGHTY mongrel. Ou revoir freek!!

Over in Kiasu Singapore, fasting doesn't matter to any muslims at all... They have many ways to enjoy fastings. :D

Fasting also mean school holidays... for non-fasters at times.

But many are very devoted to the religion. Singapore is a very understanding state where religions and colors of skins don't matter.

guys
chill
this seems to have turned a bit fiery

its beeeen aaaaaaages since someone wrote

but
i just wanted to add

fasting isnt about staying hungry to feel for the poor, rathe its about self-control. Gluttony is a base desire of the soul, the desire to eat is something we share with animals. but when God created mankind, he gave them the potential to excel, to overcome these desires... ramadan is the time when the spirit is elevated over the body, we are not tied down by the functions of eating and drinking, it is time to connect with the divine.
when we look at society around us (i live in the UK- Born and Bred and proud!!) we see that many of the problems we face with alcoholics, theft, rape and murder is due to self control.. people cannot control themselves. but our scholars tell us, if you can control your food and drink you can control anything.
and think about it...
if we cannot function for a few hours without food.. if we cannot go hungry for a few hours without imagining and day-dreaming abt food.. then how dependent are we are on it? it shows attachment to it.. whereas we simply should eat to live and not live to eat...

regards,
seeker seeking ;-)

I'm an older Gentleman located in Texas, USA. Of fasting, or without eating but one meal a day by choice, I can say it should be by individual Choice. Also, What news we catch from Iran is probably diluted much, but please understand that Many Americans Hurt and Care deeply for our Iranian Bothers and Sisters..

Your common sense is obvious.

God is not pleased by our starvation, and poor people don't eat because we fast.

God is pleased by true mercy towards the poor.

And God forgives sins freely, based not on our religion, but on our love for Him and His Son, Jesus, who has satisfied His wrath on His own body on the cross.

faith, believing, common sense, and the goodness of God. These things go together.

Fatema(what a great name u have mashaallah)

I know u dont feel like fasting and i guess that is between you and God.However it is inappropriate for you to condemn Islam cos something that you dont like inside it.You are not insulting islam and ur government but u r insulting the millions of moslem around the world.
Fasting is so sacred for us moslem.Besides being the means for us to clean the innerside spiritually,fasting is one of ways for us to understand also poverty,hunger,and suffering life that those unlucky people are having.So i hope u better refrain from insulting Islam and us moslem=)

Hi Fatema, I feel for you, knowing the restrictions that you are living under, and the fact that you are not free to decide & live your own life as you wish. It is interesting to note the bile that is being generated against you by "those who are at peace". So what if you disagree with the views of billions! The very same argument could be held against muslims. I fasted for more than a decade during ramadhan as a practising muslim. And I have realised fasting does little to generate either self-control or inner peace. What makes the difference is an individuals effort to show kindness towards others. Apart from the fact of course that everyone is too weak & tired to bother getting into arguments! Having grown up somewhat since then, i no longer believe that we should be forced to keep in line. Regligion is truly a way to control the masses. Oh, and Duha? what vile statements you make. I can see you must be truly on the path to (Self-)righteousness. Have you ever bothered to address the rights of the child being forced to fast by over-enthusiastic UK based reverts? It is a sorry tale of a generation of kids growing up with unhealthy (LOL) guilt complexes . Oh, I forgot, of course, they will get plenty barakah for their starvathon-jihad! Oh, Hamoud. You are truly a sick puppy.

I'm 18 years old now, & I have been fasting for 8 year (befor being religion duty), that because I really like fasting.

Fasting is not hard or difficult like ur description!

perhaps u think fasting is a machine for pain, but it is ur problem not the problem of fasting Irania!

you're an embarrassment to Muslims all around the world. Perhaps if you were educated and you saw that fasting had nothing to do with feeling suffering or suffering for yourself you'd understand the point. We fast because it is a way of showing "mind over matter" or "self control" or "our faith". Don't discount the holy month because you are a weak person. If a person is sick or incapable, that's one thing. However don't make excuses because you have a weak will and a weak mind. I have two fat ass Iranians that sit in front of me at work and eat all day. Sure- I can't judge them but perhaps if they did fast, they would be healthier and would be able to show self control when it comes to food and control. Go ahead- mislead the rest of the world because you have a weak personality. Infants and babies starve all day in poor countries and somehow survive, those same poor still fast when they turn 9 and 10 and even younger.

But you- a person with access to the internet and obviously for food can't do it for a month. Shame on you- one day you will have to answer to your conscience and your creator, then what?

And further...how could you, an obviously weak person come here and discount a religion of billions of people. If you are not capable of fasting- fine, that's your business. But how could you call yourself a Muslim but come here to a public website and ridicule one of the five pillars of your religion? If it makes you feel better to say that fasting is silly and a hardship and blah blah blah then I truly feel sorry for you. Every religion and society has tests and times of hardship and times that you must prove yourself.

What you are saying is so true. Ramadan is a good example of Islamic thinking. These Islamic people think that forcing people to do things their way is perfectly OK. Who the hell are they to decide when you can eat your food? Jedi migam, vaghean man moteasefam keh mellateh ma gireh yek hamchin mozdorayeh ahmagh oftadeh.

your Essay is Nice, but Fasting in Ramadan is not that so stupid i think, cause i live these days every year and i found they very Happy, Healthy, low Stress days.

your words about the solution for poors are partilty right, 2.5% of the money gived every Year from Rich People gived to poors and other kind of in need people.

you can eat at ramadan if you are not Muslim i hope People at your work understand that you are Differant.
but if you joined them and you can manage to breakfast together it will be so lovely.

No dear, you didn't understand Islam yet. In Islam you are not forced to do something if you don't believe in it. because fasting is about belief, not about stop eating and drinking and Allah reward you about your (neyya) not the action itself.

And one idiot says that staying hungry would help a person abstain from committing a rape through Self control! And alchohol is something to abstain from? Riiight.. And when we see the reality, muslim countries have pathetic number of rapes, crime against women, human rights violations, state sponsored beheadings, stoning, suppression of women in the name of all the f***ed up excuses(Their bloody men are nannies for grown up women but go out to rape other women) and all those underground alchohol parties?? O yeah alla will judge them! But honey Ramadan doesn't really help any of those thousands of criminally insane rapist muslims, does it? O well yes, all the info about rapes and the deliberate common cultural practice of hushing things up and how do they say it- 'Keep it within the walls of your house!'?? It's all Zionist propaganda!

All women Must wear the Burka as their beauty incites the male mind to committ rape! Really? Is that your bloody self control at work or the madness acquired from smelling another man's arse in front of you 5 times a day? Lol.. By far the most capricious, fatalist and idiotic people you'll ever find anywhere.. Oh yeah.. that thing I just about missed.. 'There are a Billion muslims in the world and so many people can't be wrong!' I'll say there are more than 3 Billion unskilled and uneducated people in the world and most of them don't even understand the working of a switch each of them click atleast 2 times a day.. And there were millions of Nazis and Fascist too! Lol.. And so there are over a Billion clueless Idiots, most of whom have no idea about how hateful and criminally insane the book they follow actually is! 3 cheers to Quran and it's Violent murderous Jihad on the blessed non-believers!

Dear Iranian Girl
Ramadhaan should not be a way of instigating capitol punishement if broken. There is no compulsion in religion, ramadhaan was not made compulsory upon people, but upon believers. At the end of the day, it is between you and the Almighty...whether you decide to fast or not.

Having said that, Ramadhaan is an amazing thing. It is time for introspection, not just being hungry, but focusing in the other parts of our character. For me, it has been an amazing. I get a whole month to reflect on who I am, and a whole year to try be a better person.
