Should I do it

so it looks like fasting is good for you

Whereas a well regulated and balanced diet is even better.

But they would say that, wouldn't they?

Ramadan is not a diet

Its time for purification, meditation and reflection.

how come we don't have quality posts like this during working hours, am bored out of my head ( end of contract doing F all) and desperate for a good quality post...

Guys quality must improve next week...

OK - Ramadan started, fasting today, I'll take it one day at a time and I hope I manage to get through the day.

So far no problems, I can't believe it no coffee withdrawal symptoms, (mind you I usually have one coffee a day, and I take it around 10:30 am, not first thing)

Lets hope I am a wake the rest of the day, I have just started a new contract

I'm confused with the above statements......can you explain please?

All very laudable, but why do you have to be told when to do those things? Why not build them into your weekly regime?

Why confused? I posted the first post a few weeks ago when I was ending a contract, my post today is after I started the contract.

If you have to ask whether you should do anything you really should do (in religious terms) then you really don't want to do it - you're just looking for an excuse not to do it.

errr................

Sorry, I missed looking at the dates of posting.

Actually I do, after completing Ramadan last year, I kept the good habits, and fasted almos every weekend for all winter, I only stopped mid/end of June.... I am hoping to continue this habit again when I complete this month's fast.


But if you asking in general why Muslims have to do it during a specific month, then I suppose its a community thing dunno....

I tell ya, in this new contract there are at least 4 of us fasting, and it feels so good to have others doing it with me.

Anyway, got to go back to work, don't want to start arguing here, whole point of fasting is to avoid arguing etc...

peace & love brothers and sisters
