Happy Ramadan

Happy Ramadam to you too and I admire the will power you show in order to participate in this festival, I doubt I would be able to do this myself. P.S. How do you acheive the abstaining from bad thoughts part considering Men think about it every sex seconds ;)

Its much easier than you think, though the first can be difficult. We'll see how it goes with my lapband because my post-dusk consumption will be far less than it should be.

You try very hard and in my case, I bite my tongue whilst programming. I refuse to drive during the daylight hours because then I would be likely to commit murder, much less a "bad deed".

Well, other than you thinking about it whilst typing, you should be sent to the same grammar school as DD! :)

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"

No, that's "Suhoor" in Arabic. I just offered extra information about the Arabic word, that's all.

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.

Happy Ramzan to you! :) I will send you a separate email too, maybe tonight.
Cheers, विक्रम (Got my troika of CCCs!) After all is said and done, much is said and little is done.

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.

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.

Believe it or not, I have some of Rick Stein's recipes waiting for me to tackle them. He's paint drying but he can certainly cook fish. I wouldn't mind a proper Fish & Chips these days but at the moment, I'll happily kill for a glass of ice cold water. And a happy one to you as well :)

So it's a transitive version of to live? I like it. I life my canary in a big cage. NASA lifes some astronauts in the ISS English has been missing such a verb for a long time I second the usage of this word!

Happy Ramadhan Mustafa. We have a fast of around 13 hours here in Pakistan and I don't think it is much of a problem for the majority. ;P

Usually, you gain. Feasting at night is not good for you. But if you eat properly you'll lose 1-3 in the month.

There I was planning to visit Jordan and take you out on a lunch party to the restaurant which served the best Mansaf. Mansaf, Mansaf, Mansaf, Mansaf! Happy Ramadan BTW.

Well, they would fast with the timing of the nearest location that did have a tangible dawn and dusk. IIRC, when we were in Edmonton, Muslims in Yellowknife and Whitehorse would fast according to our local times. I could find out more if you're really that interested.

That might mean a 20hr+ fast without drinking! :omg: While I can admire the other aspects of ramadan, dehydrating for so long sound's downright unhealthy (in the "self-destructive" sense, not the "that is totally unhealthy! What if I'm allergic to germs?" unhealthy thing).
