    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

      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).

        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.

                That shows that he's basically a boy when it comes to partying. It takes an experienced connoisseur to "manage" a multi-day feast, but it's certainly possible.

                                    I do not celebrate Ramadan except that it has 4 letters of my first name :) but I do not mind to have Happy Ramadan. The kind of fasting some Hindus usually do is twice a month during 11th day of lunar calendar. You are supposed to fast entire day (24 hrs) and preferably not even take water. I have done a few of those Ekadasi fastings and it feels good after teh fats is over. :) Another interesting thing about how Hinduism/Buddhism is different is that religious people usually avoid dinners (as it is considered that night time body does not have lot of digestive powers).

                                      Happy Ramadan to you! It's really difficult to fast for a day without even talking the saliva in. I am sure it requires a lot of inner strength and practice. I have seen my grandmother doing 'Nirjala' (without water) fasts. But that's for a couple of days or so in a year. I can't even think of it.

                                        It's not so difficult as it sounds. There is so many beautiful things in this month, like iftars with good friends, solidarity ....

                                          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.

                                          Funny that being clam and abstaining oneself from bad deeds is considered hostile. Oh dear - what is the world coming too. :doh:

                                          The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick - Silverlight *.XCP files. Visit the Hindi forum here.
