I ate.

Its my first time. Maybe Im still to young.
Aww. Ah well, you can try tomorrow. If you were starving and going to faint then, you have to eat. Don't fast up to the point where you might kill yourself. If you feel fasting to be unbearable, then you must eat. Self torture is bad.

The point of fasting in Ramadhan is to train yourself to not fall for your desires so easily. Lust and such things are examples. However, if you're really starving, that's not your desires but actually it's your needs. Desires and needs are two different things.

To anyone fasting, if you're really starving and you feel like you might die/faint/gastric/ect please just eat. You can replace it at a later date.

Also, Ii know many people have heard this word 'Jihad'. Jihad does not mean mindlessly slaughtering people. It means 'struggle'. Fighting for a cause as in physical violence is known as the 'lesser Jihad'. Struggling to control your desires is known as the 'greater Jihad'.

Fasting is the 'greater Jihad' since you struggle against your own desires which is food. Jihad is not a bad thing I assure you. Trying to control your desires is what Jihad is about.

Tips for fasting:
1. Don't exert yourself
2. Eat a heavy meal during Suhoor.
3. Don't think about food or water.
4. Drink warm water during Suhoor to avoid thirst.
5. Brush your teeth first during Suhoor so you don't have to suffer with thirst for the rest of the day.
6. Pray

Maybe if I said that I started fasting when i was 7 would motivate you. No? The first time is the hardest. You'll get used to it.

Keep fighting sister(in Islam)!

I will try tomorrow. Thank you.
Good luck. ^___^
I'll be rooting for you.

Also, remember what I said about eating when you're really desperate.

Or you could pray and read the Quran/Koran. That's what Ramadhan is about anyway...
Just saying.

Happy Ramadhan, guys. I'm doing my first whole day today. When I woke up, I was starving. Now, I'm fine (he says, glaring lustfully at the water bottle on his desk). It's not THAT hard.

He's right, it's not that hard. It's worth it when Eid comes along.

Happy Ramadhan. Even though I'm not Muslim, I believe it is important to respect the holidays of others. Also, be careful when fasting, alright? There's times I've almost fainted, so be careful. I'm no doctor, but I think it's a bit unhealthy for 11-12 year olds to be fasting at such an age. I'm no pro on Islam, so I don't know if there's a year that fasting begins, but do what you ought to do.

Now I expect return postage on September 18th.

That would be Rosh Hashanah. It's basically the Jewish new year.

Wait, third day? Damn, I know it's about a month but how many days of fasting is this exactly? I'm pretty frail, I can barely go through 15 hours without getting the shakes, and it still effects me a few days later.

Ah I see. I've never heard of it till now but it's nice to widen my knowledge. ^__^
I probably won't be on PC during Eid so can someone create the Eid thread while I'm gone. I'm going to my grandparents to celebrate as I do every year.
And yeah, Ramadhan is one month long. Fasting starts from when the sun rises(Fajr/Subuh) until the sun sets(Maghrib). Basically, it depends on the sun. If you're fasting in the equatorial regions, then you pretty much fast for a consistent time no matter what time of year it is.

If you're fasting in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, the day will either be longer or shorter and that affects your fasting time. If you live in the poles well, I'm not sure.
Here, we fast for 12 hours, red the earlier posts to understand more.

Oh, one more thing, I might not be here on Rosh Hashanah so sorry because I have an exam possibly. If I'm here I'll be sure to post.

Heheeheheh, that's quite a while away. By the way, what's Eid?
Eid ul-Fitr is the celebration of being able to fast for one month. This celebration is celebrated in the Islamic month of Syawal which is directly after Ramadhan. Usually, the celebration takes place on the 1st Syawal but then it is celebrated for the entire month in some cases. Eid is a time of enjoyment and thankfullness. Eid marks the end o Ramdhan. Eid ul-Fitr is referred to as the lesser Eid as opposed to Eid ul-Adha the greater Eid. Many muslims however celebrate Eid ul-Fitr more extravagantly than Eid ul-Adha. Also, it is forbidden to fast on the first day of Syawal.

We get to eat lots of tasty food on Eid. Just think of it as the biggest holiday in Islam like Christmas for Christians ad Hanukkah for Jews.

Umm... not sure about other countries but here in Malaysia we get money. I'm not sure where this tradition came from though. I don't know what other countries do as well for Eid.
