No, don't say that. What he uses is "English". The rest of us are using bastardized versions. In "English" it's alright to say stuff like, "do you life in London?" :-D

Ramadan is a month of fasting from sunup till sundown, where one abstains from food, bad deeds and bad thoughts. It is supposed to remind us of the hardships of others and therefore remind us of humility. Its also there to teach us patience, a lesson that is always good. Though quite a bit on this forum might find it strange, different or even downright hostile, I still wish everyone of you a Happy Ramadan and I hope that the lessons are not lost on anyone.

I have some Muslim friends and have attended few "Iftaar"(dinner post sundown) last year and the food was awesome, they deserve it after a very hard fast for average 12hour without even water (considering I can't live without food for couple of hours extra). My best wishes for the holy month.

er....[Thinks]...Got it! It is part of my project to bring the word 'Life' into mainstream communication as a verb. (v) Life. To make one's choice of permanent home and adopt the customs and culture of where one lives. Example David chose to life himself in Luton. :)

I thought the only "happy" thing about Ramadan was the Aïd el-Fitr ?

I can see how depriving oneself of food for 12-15 hours can definitely lead to bad deeds and bad thoughts. Interesting. Well, I work on 2 and 3 all the time, but I won't do the fasting part. :) Happy Ramadan to you too! Marc

You've bastardized the term bastardized. ;P

Thank you and to you too. On a side note, Iftar/Iftaar is Arabic for "breaking the fast". Its also the Arabic word for breakfast.

I know this may not be politically correct, but I wanted to know if duration for fasting is same across the world . Because in India/South Asia, the duration between sunrise and sundown would be around 10 hours whereas in Europe, where I live it would be 16-18 hours depending how north you are. So people here have to fast more? Just curious

I really must get my eyes tested. When I first read the subject of your post I read it as Harry Ramsdens[^] and I suddenly got images of all that succulent fish and chips. With the aromatic steam slowly wafting upwards filling the room with the mouth watering smell. Still, never mind. :-D Happy Ramadan to you and yours too Mustafa.

How would Muslims within the Arctic circle cope if Ramadan fell within the months when the sun never sets or never rises?

No, that's when the real party starts ;) Many consider Ramadan to be a great occasion to do good. Hence people spend more on alms and are extra generous. Indeed, wherever you look you will find "Mawa'ed Alrahman" (The Beneficient's Banquet) where food is served for any who approach.

Yes, you fast in accordance with your local times, so you start with your local sunup until your local sundown. On the flipside, when its winter, you fast far far far less in Europe and Canada. I know from personal experience.

Thanks for the clarification on meaning of Iftaar but I am sure this is not used for the morning food before sunrise, my friends calls it "Sehri"
