Thankyou for wishing a good ramazan, I will have a splendid time celebrating thank you

i jst wanna say in this holy month... may allah forgive all of us..

I just want to ask all Turks/muslisms a question.
Is it not hard to fast for a whole month? I mean could not starve for that amount of time and especially not drink. Is it not unhealthy to fast for such a long period of time.

ALLah create Us and give us excillent life.. we can take breath enough.. isLam got rules we have to do smtng fo aLLah(c.c) like pray 5 time like fast so many thngs...why we have to give smtng to him too.. coz human are perct..1 month i never feel im hard..actually i feel tht i bcme more strong in this holy month..if allah give some hard duty be sure show some easy way too.. and 1 month u can look urslf u are really patient or not..u can teach smtng fo urbody. Like isLam say..alcohol , gamble..,sex with other ladies who not married jst HARAM... why isLam said like tht.. coz if you play gamble you can lost urmoney urwife urhome your everytng..and if money easy come alrdy haram thn easy go... you drink alcohol.. loose yourbrain and doing smtng wrong.. sex .. also same.. But who really dunno anytng about isLam and not search well.. they thnk isLam jst bring terorist...Wat we want aLLah give us.. Now our turn to give allah this is duty fo isLam..

Hi Saucysue

Its not really all that difficult to fast. We can eat and drink when its dark. We also get up a bit earlier during ramazan to have a little something. I only have a drink of water but I know of people who actually have proper meals. I've been doing it since I was 7 years old though and its only 1 month in a year.

Happy Ramazan to all!

No it is not a health problem at all, as many people say it is only once a year and it is also good for yor health in many ways.

we are honoured to do ramazan, it is part of who we are.
It also makes us realise how lucky we are, and it brings many people together, which is always a good thing
My family do not agree with me and are against it, but I stand proud and I fast on my own because I go with what I belive in and not listen to anyone else.

I love fasting and I do it with great honour, and I wish to everyone who celebrates ramazan the best.

Hi i am new to this site and not sure how it all works yet.
But i would like to wish all who take part in Ramazan good luck, health, wealth and happiness for your future celebrations.
I am catholic and we too fast for 40 days and 40 nights but in a different way.
Good luck and may God be with us all.

Another question,
fasting = nothing passes the lips. Does this mean you are not allowed to brush your teeth?
It may seem a ridiculous question but that is something I had to ask, it was playing on my mind.
Thanks for the answers

.... because i do brush my teeth

iyi ramazanlar arkadaşlar!
ramazanınız mübarek olsun diye diliyorum...

But you can prush your teeth!

Just make sure no water enter your throat,the point is,no drinks or food enter to your throat,or else how can you wash to pray then ??!!!

Canli this kind of thngs is serios thng so cnt joke dont forget.. you can do anytng till open fast... no brush no parfum no east smoke or other thng..if people can wash alrdy qoran ll say but qoran says nthng you can do till open fast...

the most wonderfull thing about fasting is that make rich feel how poor ppl live .as all r fasting and all eat at the eveining in same time.

you guys are so stubbrn... in qoran write.. u cant do anytng even brush your teeth... ourprophet time.. pple using miswak now they make more thecnology call toothbrush..tht time also ourprophet said you cant use miswak.. coz mybe the water can go in.. or urteeth blood or other thng.. if you wanna be clean bfre start fast brush thn start.. dont find smtng to make it easy..

DiLemek mean wish..

some example.. wish i could fly... ucmayi diliyorum..


i wish mymom ll take new car fo me..

but dont look dictonary diliyorum.. coz you cant find this is orginal word.. whn you is fo tens the words change same like..

sleep slept eat ate.. i wish u undersntd..

Rain,
İ am serious,i am Muslim too Elhamdülellah.

And we do wash before praying,so water enter our lips ofcourse,but we must make sure it doesn't enter our throats

How else will you wash for praying?

take abdest so dffrnt thn brush teeth.. i stdy in muslim school 7 year..and we learn everytng so clear.. so not a reason take abdest same you brush your teeth.. both are diffrnt..

why ? and how different ?
İn abdest water enter your mouth too,and you make sure it doesn't enter your throat,so you won't break your fast

What is so different then to brush your teeth,and make sure water won't enter your throat too ?

Beside our prophet SAV,prefered to use meswak with each abdest,he said SAV,something like'İf i can order muslims to use meswak with each abdest,i would have ordered'

So why not doing it then ?

miswak no need water but toobrush need water to clean it.. can blood and can go in cant control it.. i explain everytng to you mypost upstr .i did myduty if you still belive wht u saying thn follow yrslf thn do.. im oke.. tnx ta ta..

Ok...Ramazan Karim

My muslim friend wrote this explanation for me about Ramadan - and I thought I would share it with you all....

Ramadan is the name of a month, when Muslims do not let
any foods or drinks into their bodies, from DAWN till SUNSET

If you look at the calendar, that the Muslim use
you'll find it is twelve month, like his and hers and yours

but there is a difference in that, it depends on the moon
the beginning of the month is marked, by the birth of the moon

This means that Ramadan, is not in the same season every decade
it takes 33 years to complete a cycle for Ramadan to go back to the same date

In Ramadan people fast, not only food and drink
they also do not have sex, or what to it could link (kissing & hugging with desire)

People are ordered not, to exchange swearing and insult
Particularly in this month, and if someone did insult him, to say "today I fast"

Muslims do enjoy fasting, those days for that long
Coz they are doing it to clear, themselves from all wrong

Fasting like Salat(1) and Hajj(2) and Zakat(3)
is an act of worship, like praying on a mat

In Ramadan we get closer, to close and distant relatives
for better relation with neighbors, Ramadan is causative

There's joy in sitting to the table, just before sunset
with all the family members, waiting for the sun to set

The foods usually served, are different form the usual
the sweets and the drinks, could really be unusual

Most people in Ramadan, host other people for meals
because they know for certain, this is a very good deed

In Ramadan we're strongly encouraged, to give to the poor
for this is one reason why people fast for sure

It is to remember how poor people feel
when they do not have money or any food to feed

This way we symbolically, share, the suffering of the poor
then we don't just know how they feel, but we would look for a cure

People in Ramadan get kinder and more humble
because they are strongly advised with sins not to stumble

You see even those smoker,s who can not live without it
They find it quite easy to stop, and for the command to submit

But when the sunsets, the smoker feel different
the first thing he feels for is a fag which earlier was indifferent

The streets are usually lively, more than the usual nights
They go out for sweets and corn, they visit many sites

The Mosques get filled with worshipers in Ramadan
Lots of prayers and conversations and lots of prayers to who can

People break their fast, either with dates or with water
They like it when they see it done, by their boys and their daughters

You can see this happening, in all Muslim countries
In Africa in the Middle-east, and islands like maldives

Fasting is healthy, and as one has said
God Allah surely knows, what for his slaves is best

The body relaxes after, 11 months of feeding
like after you work hard, you sit and and put your feet up.

People took "Ramadan", as a name for their kids
you can find some in Turkey, nothing that forbids

In addition there are the rewards, for fasting we expect
that is what we were promised and that is what we're going to get (inshallah)

I hope I gave a good explanation and cleared up some things
I wish a pleasant Ramadan to all the paupers and kings



(1) Salat: 5 daily prayers performed at dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and night.
(2) Hajj: Pilgrimage to Mecca, required once in a life time if one can afford and able to do it.
(3) Zakat: a financial system in Islam in which moneys or other properties are taken from those who qualify to give it and given to those who qualify to take it.

It makes it very clear, thanks!

Just 2 remarks:

1.'In Ramadan people fast, not only food and drink
they also do not have sex, or what to it could link (kissing & hugging with desire) '

Not in Ramadan,only while we are fasting,but after breaking the fast'İftar'people can have sex,kissing,hugging and what so ever,till time of fasting again,at dawn

2.Zakat: a financial system in Islam in which moneys or other properties are taken from those who qualify to give it and given to those who qualify to take it.

İts money,and not taken,its giving by Muslim's well to obay ALLAH order in sharing the poor in the riches money

İts simply we give a percentage %2.5 from the money that we have and a year pass on it from the time we've got it.

This share we give to the poor,to help them,because we believe that money belong to ALLAH,He gave it to whom He want,we thank ALLAH HE gave it to us,and share the poors,which they could have been us if it was ALLAH well

And we rewarded from ALLAH when we give money to the poor,HE also bless our money too.

ALLAH Karim 'generous'much more than human,so he pay us back for the money we gave

And yes,its not hard for us to fast whole Ramadan,and we wait for this blessing month for the whole year

When we fast,we feel our bodies become healther,and lighter,
And we won't really starve if we didn't eat for 14 hours including the time we sleep,
We even get used to control ourselves and our desires,our anger too
İf we've been insult from other we should say 'ALLAHOME Anni Sayim'
Means ALLAH my wetness that i am fasting,so i won't reply your insult.

İts really a very beautiful month,and it brings joy and blessing to all of Muslim People .

Wish all Muslim and none Muslim people,to have a blessing happy ,and peaceful Ramadan,till the next Ramadan inşallah.

Sorry another question I know that muslims do not eat pork and their red meat has to be slaughtered in a different way, but what about poultry (chicken etc) and fish, does that have to be slauthered in a different way too?
I appreciate all your answers

first i rescpt wht people eat ...

whn i come to asia country.. i see tht people like to eat pork thn i ask them do you like they said yes very much..

thn i said them back pork eat their own shit thn how you can eat this dirty animal..

Got reason thts why in isLam pork is haram coz is dirty,...

Canli alrdy explain others... cnt say more.. thnx canli

Ramazan Mübarek!

Wishing all health, prosperity
and happiness during Ramazan
and throughout the coming year.





As White Angel said, Christians are fasting too for 40 days on Easter. Maybe little different but the idea is same.

God bless all of us!

Thx bliss ,

Hayırlı Ramazanlar .

How is it different bliss ?

Here Christians don't cook with fats,just oil i guess,right ??
İ know cause at Eastern we have special food for our Christians people in all food shops,written 'fasted food'

So how is it ?

Canli,i can tell u about othodox christians and our christmas fast in short lines..one week is 'on oil' and the next one is 'on water' and so on.the name says for itself-if it's 'on oil' it means that u prepare food on oil and if it's 'on water' than u boil it.we'r not allowed to eat meat (except fish),milk,eggs,chocolate,basically everything that contains ingredients previously mentioned.these r the basics..

Ohh thx mandarina,

Our people 'Christians ones ofcourse' are othodox,and you fast for 40 days too, yes ?

yes u'r right,40 days..

Canli,
I could write here about Christian fasting but I think it will be better if you have links and can read by yourself. This is very good article and hope it will help you to understand:

http://www.goarch.org/en/ourfaith/articles/article8126.asp

You can read in Wikipedia too:

I think for now this is enough.
