Assalamu Alaikam Brothers and Sisters

I literally can not make it past 3 PM. I am so hungry and thirsty I am shaking. Does anyone have any advice? I feal that it is almost impossible for me to fast (but no doubt I am trying ) because I can never make it to sunset. Also, at school, I basically become a zombie. I can't think or do anything active or else I'll become even more starved.

Again, anyone have any advice?

First thing, keep urself away from idle chit chat !

just coz, it leads to gheebah[mostly], n gheebah is the one biiiiiiiiig reason, u feel the fast badly !

secondly, avoid other sins, n keep uself busy in something or the other, esp those tht r less tiring, read quran, hv a short sleep if possible

also don't go near the food, smelling it ;)

chk this (Ramadan Preparation)

brother,

I usually have the same problem....but hunger strikes at 10am for me I jus try my best to keep myself occupied with work....I became zombie yesterday in biology. My teacher noticed my colour change and every 2 minutes wud cum uo and ask if I was okay. I'm surprised I didnt faint

Anyway brother, try and keep urself active in other matters and u'll be fine inshAllah.

There goes my tummy again

Allah ma3ak :coolsis:

Come on brother...we are usually (Well I am), half dead wen we wake up for sahoor. I can hardly open my mouth. Then, you are soooo tired that once you eat one toast, the other one....well, u just can't bear to eat it.
I bet u lot eat pranttas,kebabs and all the other filling stuff during sahoor
Only joking by the way!

I have felt zombie like but I have kinda got used to it the past 3 days. I force feed myself a glass of water or two if i can manage it without too much hassle in the morning. Although I really dont want it I make myself drink it and that way i have felt better today. Less headache. The first day I had to sleep early coz my head was hurting so much I was nearly crying.

I just wanted to quick give my pov..
When you eat alot at suhûr and at iftâr, then your stomach is used to alot and wants alot, so you'll get more hungry and thirsty during the day, than if you eat less at suhûr and iftâr.. It has to be a light meal, so that you wont feel full, 'cause the worse thing a muslim can fill is his stomach.. It's a hadeeth, don't got the source, sorry!
And if you get thirsty during the day and your mouth is all dry, then you can rinse your mouth with water and spit it out without swallowing of course, but be careful with that.. It is very tempting to swallow.. And you can only rinse it with water, not Coca Cola, Fanta, Sprite etc., only water.. That's the same when you are doing wudhu'.. You have to rinse your mouth there too..
So, my advice is to eat a light meal at iftâr and suhûr, drink some water, and during the day rinse your mouth if it get's too dry..
But remember, that the smell out of the mouth from a person who fasts is more loved to Allâh than the scent of musk..

This is quite common. The best thing to do would have been to practise a little in Shaban itself before ramadan starts. That way you would have gotten used to it by now. But now that that option is ruled out, I would suggest you to be a little patient. I am sure you would get used to it pretty soon inshaAllah.

Assalamu alaikum

Drink lotz of water after you break your fast so that you're not dehydrated while you fast the next day. Remember ekhi that this is for self-purification and it also helps with self restraint and discipline. During this time of ramadan we should be able to know how the rest of the world feels when they dont have food to eat and even to the extent where there isnt even water to drink. we gotta put ourselves in there shoes.
and lets not forget the main reason to fast is simply because Allah said so and Allah knows best. And which favors of thy lord will thee deny???? after all its only one month and unlike those who are unfortunate, we are granted food to eat at the end of the day. alhemdulilah
oh and keep yourself busy that way u wont be thinking bout food all the time lol
sorry id blab on but i gotta get to class

fi aman allah
