What You Should Know About Fasting by sleemoon(op): 10:34pm On Jun 17, 2015
1. When the month of Ramadan starts,
the gates of paradise are opened, the
gates of hell are closed and the devils
are chained. (Al-Bukhari 1898, Muslim
1079)



2. Every Muslim must make intention
before fajr to fast(for an obligatory fast)
. Intention is not uttered. It is
determination in the mind and should
not be done with audible wordings. (Al
Bukhari 1, Abu Dawood 2454)



3. Fasting is NOT just abstaining from
eating and drinking, it is also refraining
from vain speech and foul language. If
one is verbally abused, he should say
'I am fasting' (Muslim 1151)



4. Taking the pre-dawn meal (Sahuur)
is a BLESSING. Every Muslim is
expected to take the meal EVEN if with
a mouthful of water. (Al Bukhari 1923,
Ahmad 44)



5. It is the Sunnah to DELAY the
Sahuur and HASTEN to break the fast
as soon as the sun sets. (Al Bukhari
1921, Muslim 1099)



6. If one hears the call to prayer WHILE
still eating the Sahuur, he should not
stop eating, rather he should finish his
food. (Abu Dawud 2350)



7. Whosoever does not give up
speaking falsely and acting on lies and
evil actions, Allaah does not care for
his abstaining from eating and drinking.
(Al Bukhari 1903)



8. The Messenger of Allah used to
break his fast BEFORE magrib prayer
with 3 fresh dates, if there were no
fresh dates, he would eat 3 dry dates,
if there were no dry dates, he would
take 3 draughts of water. (Abu Dawud
2349)



9. Whoever provides a fasting person
something with which to break his fast,
he will earn the same reward as the
person without the person's reward
being reduced. (At-tirmidhi 807)



10. It is PERMISSIBLE for a fasting
person to bath or pour over his head to
relief him of the hotness of the sun or
of thirst. (Abu dawud 2365)



11. If somebody eats or drinks
FORGETFULLY while fasting, he should
complete his fast, for what he has
eaten or drunk been given to him by
Allaah. (Al Bukhari 1933, Muslim 1155)



12. Zakaatul fitr is OBLIGATORY on
every muslim, old & young, slave &
free, male & female. One Sa'a (approx.
3kg) of food items should be given out
before people go out for the 'Eid
prayer. (Al Bukhari 579/2, Muslim
2159)



13. The Messenger of Allaah never
proceeded(for prayer) on the day of
'Eid ul fitr unless he had eaten some
odd number of dates. (Al Bukhari 73/2)



14. We should put on our BEST
garments and chant Adhkaar TO & FRO
the Eid ground. (Al Bukhari
88,89,102/2)



15. On the day of Eid, the Messenger of
Allaah used to return (after offering the
Eid prayer) through a way DIFFERENT
from that by which he went. (Al Bukhari
102/2)



16. Whoever observes fast in Ramadan
and also fasts for six days in Shawwal,
the reward of a whole year fast is
recorded for him. (Muslim 2614/6)

Maybe Boko Haram will also take a break from killing people and start the fast.
And some mofos in here would say islam is not equal to Boko Haram.
