Do you celebrate Ramadan?

By Allah.

Taken from Wikipedia.

 

The amount of assholes in this thread is ridiculous even as an atheist myself. Disagreeing with someones religion is one thing, but you should at least have the common courtesy to respect their beliefs.

 

I sleep through the fasts.

WHAT a peice of shit holiday huh? i mean its good for you? what idiot would want that????
seriously think before you post next time.
im celebrating ramadan loving it

 

Exactly. THANK YOU. The point I was trying to get across.

What the mod who's name is Louis said is pretty offensive nonetheless.

Why can't you all be like him?

Thanks for contributing something.

 

To many people here hating muslims because of the media.
Sad to see it. Oh well ot; 5hrs left till i can eat

 

islam wanted the spotlight for so many years and now we have it its sad it had to be via 9/11 but now the spotlight is on muslims and we are seeing a record number of conversions to islam. There is also more tolerance to islam globally, of course there will always be those narrow minded,dim-witted,internet trolls who will constantly make up verses of the quran to suit their arguments but theres nothing we can do about them just ignore the nuuuubs

 

Their holiday involves some forms of celebration, instead of total suffering.

Starving your body of what it needs will never result in complete positivity.

 

i don't know where did u get these info ppl
islams says if they didn't hurt you don't hurt them
respect their relligion as long as they don't hurt
+ a lot of scientest said that ramadan is very healthy for your body
cuz you change routine and alot of stuff
+
don't trust those who are trying to make islam bad

 

I agree it's not the most fascinating thing to do. But is it okay to call someone's religion a piece of shit? You don't see me or any other people flaming in religion threads.

 

I never said anything about Islam being shit. In fact I like it because a lot of it is about being with Allah spiritually. I just think suffering for it is over the top.

 

okay please read the source i sent.
1.) its not a holiday it is a pillar of our faith.
2.)sehri is like breakfast you eat enough to last you.
3.)its not a conitnuous starvation for a month we break fast during maghrib azan and we do not eat to bursting point (well most good muslims).
4.) the human body usually has stockpiles of its 'needs' as you so quaintly put it and if replenished in enough time this will do no damage at all your thinking of diets such as atkins when misread people totally ignore carbs causing negative effects.
5.)ramadan is never seen as suffering to me i guess your just making an assumption on that point?...

 

Ok, other people compared to other religious holidays so I presumed it was.

When you starve yourself your body will hold onto food for as long as possible. When it has passed that point it'll burn it's own muscle for energy, leaving you weighing less but with a higher body fat %

Most people would associate forced starvation with suffering, I can't imagine people being happy during this.

 

1) u were thinking of eid ^^ its after ramadan.
2) you arent starving yourself for long enough for it to reaching that providing you ate enough for sehri.
3) well the thing is it isnt a very long fast i guess its bad you cant work out or anything because of inducing thirst but honestly im happy sything till its time to break my fast

 

Nope, first off I'm not a Muslim and second, There is no way I could go for the day with out food or water and then stock up at night. (And now I'm not fat )

 

thing is its not a whole day, like me i used to save up lunch money and would not eat for the whole day that was a 6 hour fast in its own right but i wouldn't call it starvation.
maybe that explains y im so tolerant to fasting tho :nuts: ud have to ask some other muslim fasters about there opinions on fasting, for me its easy sometimes wen im not fasting i can be out till 10 and don't eat anything.

 

no one forces you to do that
it's our relligion and we are doing it cuz we want to and we know our religion is the true one

 

No one can ever know that.

 

there's thousand of prooves that proof that

that why god give us "Mind"
so we can see différence between good and bad

 

you simply aren't getting the point or are being ignorant. There's no "starvation" involved. It is merely skipping your lunch. I'm sure many of us have done that occasionally. we simply do it on daily basis for a month. And it says in the holy book that if you are fasting and can not take it, there is no sin in eating. In fact, it will be a bigger sin if you DON'T eat. No one is forcing anyone to do anything. We're not 5 year olds.
