I don't know why y'all so obsessed with islam. if it's fake fast pls do it for two days

Joker. I regularly go weeks without a jot of food just because of my mood, and I am not even religious.
Now the truth is because I do that, I am aware that the body does weaken and the spirit does strengthen through such a process. It becomes more alive, or perhaps you become more sensitive to it, absent the weight of the physical burden - which has been reduced by being denied. This often takes one to an intensely spiritual place.

This cannot be achieved with the sort of over-feeding before dawn and after dusk which happens with Islamic fasting.

yrex01:
that's your own personal problem. I don't why you lots like poke nosing to what doesn't concern you.

alfarouq:


Why don't you you abstain from food and drink from just 6:00 am to 6:00PM for a week straight.

Don't just stay away from food but food and water. Don't put anything in your mouth.

And don't do it from 6 PM to 6AM but from 6:00 AM to 6 PM, then we can have this discussion after that.

Islam is an alarming concern of every person of good conscience in the world today.

yrex01:
it's only foolish fellow that will ignore global warming & founder of covid n HIV n say Islam is world problem all in the name of christianity that the words christianity itself not in the bible and jesus that his real name was also ignored in the bible.

DeepSight:

Now, I see we have a lot of inconsistency in Christianity and their books with different version and messages.


Islam is a religion of Allah. Revealed through prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the Qur'an.
The Qur'an thought us to believe in all prophet including Jesus Christ, meaning a Muslim must believe in the prophethood of Jesus. That's why Muslim do not talk back to you guys especially when you insult Islam.
Now about fasting
Even if you can deny yourself of food for 3weeks, it doesn't matter. What matter is that you obey your lord according to his command. The instruction never tell us to fast without eating alone but start the fast at a specific time of the day and end it at a specific time, we should also fast being cautious of our eyes, mind, touches, actions and so on.
The most important part of our religion is our intention, that is, you're doing what you do because your lord has ordered you to and not because you can do more.
Allah does not have a use for making us hungry but having the fear of him in all we do.
Also, I think we really need to start minding our business, they just ended christian fasting and Muslims never condemned any part of the process, I don't know why u find joy in criticizing

Many Muslims do it. They do it also with Christian women. Fornication is allowed so far a human being is alive.

GreatAxeMan:
So what exactly is the essence of this fasting?
Fasting is supposed to be about self denial from food and pleasure, yet muslims eat more food during their fasting and have more sex.

It's very funny to see how every major food company increases the amount of advertisements towards muslims during the time when they're supposed to be limiting the amount of food they consume.

@yrex01 alfarouq I do not believe in any Abrahamic religion. I am more like a traditionalist. Will I go to hell?

Friend22:


How is your business what we do?!
Huh?!

Fasting is not meant to punish us ,but meant to teach us self restraint.
We delay and our predawn meal and we quicken the breaking of the fast and this is well documented in Islam.

If you were to ask simple straight forward questions I guess you will get the appropriate answers to them without sweating.

So,fasting is not meant to punish us just like Allah said (translation of the meaning):

"The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey – then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful."
Qur'an 2:185

Yes if you die and not a Muslim

GreatAxeMan:
I forgot I was dealing with muslims whose brains operate like a car with a bad battery, so let me lower my standards.

According to the Daily Trust which is a muslim owned newspaper, traders in Kano stated that the reason why food prices escalate during Ramadan is because supply of food cannot satisfy demand.

So the question is, why are muslims eating more food and having a greater demand for food at a time when they are supposed to be abstaining from it? Does that even make sense?

AIT1:

I don’t like doing this but I will, just to enlighten you- although, I know you will stick with what you believe in.

First of all, fasting in the month of Ramadan is not basically to “kill” yourself with hunger. The major reason while we are commanded to fast is to increase in piety and help people around you with the fear of God.

Fasting itself does not have a particular pattern, there are several dozens of fasting methods, intermittent fasting, water fasting among others. I feel you don’t have the right to choose for the muslims how they observe their own fast, it is part of the religion- after all, you don’t criticize the christians for going to the church only on Sundays while the muslims observe 5 daily salat.

It is also important for you to know that Islam fasting is not only on food intake compared to other forms of fasting. A fasting Muslim will fast with his eyes, tongue, leg, private part, etc., as you must guide yourself away from things these parts of the body can make you do and invalidate your fast.

For food prices that increases, that’s normal in Nigeria, also, people will tend to buy foodstuffs because they will want to try and eat better food during “sahur” and “iftar” as against anything belle take during normal days. Also, most people give out charity especially in foodstuffs to people that don’t have during this period, so, price will increase from the demand and supply law in economics.


So, you see, you can’t dictate for the Muslims how they observe their fast, because what the fast entails is much more than the food you are emphasizing on. And no matter what you eat during Ramadan fasting, you will still come out pale after Ramadan, that has been proven several times.

If after reading this, you continue to emphasize on food intake during Ramadan for Muslims, then I would say maybe you are just hypocritical.

Salam.
