Last year was such a success Masha'Allah, one of the best Ramadan's I had the pleasure of enjoying as well the sweet company of different Muslims here, of course everyone's home recipes and Ramadan diaries was such a delight to read.. I suggest we continue that same tradition this year and again close those sections that contribute nothing and/or add to ones sins by way of engaging in vain discourse ..

This year we have quite a few converts and I'll be curious to their experience and hope the rest of us can give them support and encouragement in any way we can..

Thank you

1- we closed off world's affairs forum and Halal fun
2- everyone posted pictures of the iftar they had that day
3-some wrote stories about Ramadan in their region, many shared the preperation their town makes to welcome ramadan like the huge displays of lanterns
4- Many wrote of what they did for that day of fast and it was encouraging and very pleasing to read..
Any other suggestions would be great but I much enjoyed those and was hoping we'd make it a tradition?

Ooh sounds good! It's going to be my first ramadan here on LI inshallah, i'm sure it'll be very interesting and beneficial.

I think Halal fun should be closed again..
I love the "post your iftar" thread idea.
I'd definitely write in the "ramadan diary".

None of those are new, lol, but I'll try to think of something, edit it in when i do inshallah.

We should close halal fun and world affairs as before, have a thread to share our experiences and any difficulties we may be facing or maybe that new muslims may be facing. Post up recipes :thumbs_up BUT most importantly I think we should ban all brothers from LI at taraweeh time! *grin* .....*runs away as fast as she can*.... Lol but actually thats wouldnt work since we have members from different countries and their times would be diff...

It is a month of reclamation, regeneration, reverence, forgiveness, kinship and renewal, I can't imagine anything else taking precedents over it.. at least such wouldn't be amongst Muslims if they wish to enjoy it for what it is and what it means?

Hmmm, ok, fair enough, but what about really happy stories concerning all the things you mentioned above? Or is there a special thread that will be created just about these positive things (sorry, my mind is a bit of a blur re:what was done last year)?

Great suggestion! I don't think I was around here for Ramadhan last year, since I don't remember all this happening. Still, it's a good idea, since we should all strive to obtain the maximum benefit out of Ramadhan as we possibly can. That includes blocking out everything that could hinder us from obtaining this benefit.

As Salaam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu

In the month of Ramadhan it is very important that we spent a few moments to understand some of the wisdoms and lessons that we can learn from this month of fasting.

The Prophet (PBUH) said, " Those of you who will live after me will see many differences. Then you must cling to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided khaleefahs. Hold fast to it and stick to it." (Abu Dawood)

Insha'Allah, in this month we LI Members sense that there is a possibility for unity, because we all fast together, we break fast together, we all worship Allah Taala together, and we pray Salaatul-`Eid together. Therefore we sense that the unity of Muslims is possible. It is possible for Muslims to be a single body, but this will only be achieved when obedience is only to Allah Taala and His Messenger.

I knew a few muslims and wanted to know what it was like physically to go through the fasting (I always like to see what people go through, it expands my frame of reference, etc). I was also looking more and more into Islam so I decided the time was right. I also told God to make this as easy as possible if this is what he wanted me to do. The first 2-3 days were harder simply because my system was adjusting but everything went really well! I got so much out of it (spiritually, mentally, physically, etc) that I decided to make it a yearly thing.

This year though, it might be more religious and hopefully more of an interactive Ramadan.

Sorry, I rambled on didn't I? Sorry.

Last Ramadan we had a 'Putting peace into practice this Ramadan' thread in the Mixed Female Forum.

How about, here in the Mixed Female Section, we plan to make a gesture of peace and friendship to somebody every day?
Perhaps you think that you do that anyway ...
How about we agree to do a good deed every day specifically to somebody who does not belong to our own religious group?
How about we agree to make dua for peace between our faiths and for world peace in general daily?
I thought it was a very worthwhile thread, and I gained much from it. :)
Perhaps we can extend it to the public forums this year?

I think it would be great if it were added to the public forums so then everyone can add things in. I already have an idea or two of what I want to do, one of which is... Make blackbean brownies for my coworkers! It sounds nasty but they are actually amazing and really healthy!

As soon as I locate the recipe in my giant recipe stash I'll send it over to you (I just don't know where people can post recipes on this site). I'll probably be sending you the recipe before the weekend as I think I will make a batch for halaqa this weekend.

If I end up making a batch during Ramadan, I will take a pic and put up the recipe with it in the food thread - then everyone can have access to it. :statisfie

Hold on, is there a general recipes thread somewhere?

I want to suggest, that we Muslims should focus less on food and more on the faith during Ramadan! have you seen how people rush to the stores close upon Ramdan to stock up all the goodies?

On a different note,
Did you know that by reciting 4 pages (5 for women, you know why) of the Quran after each Salat, one can complete reciting it within a month? Each of should try to do this.

By soaps, do you mean day-time soaps on tv?
:confused:

Anyway, that's another thing, the TV should be SWITCHED OFF permenantly during Ramadan. It won't kill you to miss your favourite shows for a month. I've tried it and I'm still alive.

Ramadhan is a Blessing to sent to us by Allah to train ourselves to be better Human Beings and Better Muslims. Insha Allah, we should all take advantage of this and continue our good habits after Ramadhan as well.

Sorry, I don't mean to discuss food mainly, but I am a foody and I am excited that I will not be eating alone so much this year, also I will be cooking for others most of the time so I do want to plan nutritious meals that are balanced, yummy but not overstuffing.

Ya but if you do a competition people will just start reading for winning. They'll start reading without meaning, without tajweed, and without memoizing. It is better to read it once but actually read and gain some knowledge.

08-12-2008, 04:19 PM
actually it will depend on everyone's niya, but it will be a good chance for those who find themselves lazy to read, this will excite them to read when they see everyone excited to that
My point is to compete in Khair and righteousness, PS we cant ask everyone to make sure that they are really reading Quran properly

22 - Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss:23 - On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things):24 - Thou wilt recognize in their Faces the beaming brightness of Bliss.25 - Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed:26 - The seal thereof will be musk: and for this let those aspire, who have aspirations:

^ Or instead of having a competition, it could be a "Qur'an Diary", where members post how much they managed to recite that day, and how they are progressing?

But first we have to make sure that it's ok in Islam to do so. Is there a Hadeeth or Quranic Ayath about not showing off how religious you are?

Posted this in the other thread (http://www.islamicboard.com/puzzles-humour/134269966-halal-haram-quiz.html ), but thought I'd post here as well:

"Before this thread gets shut down, let me just say that this was actually a really cool idea... Maybe we could do a daily/weekly thing like this for ramadan? But with answers that are more difficult, and that require a bit of research? I don't think I will have time to doorganize it, but if anyone is willing I'm sure it would be very beneficial for all of us, muslims and non muslims alike. Maybe 5 questions or so every quiz? And a scoreboard or something so there can be one final winner at the end of the month? I'd so participate!!"

I am not sure about this but showing what you are doing is sometimes good, becuase by doing so you are encouraging the other to do even more than you
but if the intent of showing is just to let the people know how much you are religious is definitely haram and its called (rya'a)

For those members who don't own a copy of the Qu'ran, how about a thread for a daily reading of the Qu'ran?
Possibly enough to read through the whole Qu'ran in the period of Ramadan?

I think the sections that allow for heated arguments are the only ones that should be closed.. mainly comparative, refutations, world affairs and the 'fun section'.. other than that, everyone will have health issues, or emotional issues, or learning issues, or multimedia issues.. I don't see why at all they should be closed.. but that is just my opinion..
plus where else can we talk of 'ramdanyat' or ramadan diaries, except under general?

we get a large conversion crowd in Ramadan.. I'd hate to think they can't find support amidst their new brothers and sisters

Possibly enough to read through the whole Qu'ran in the period of Ramadan?
I like that suggestion. I just hope the actual people who read it, read it with intent and allow it to enter there hearts sincerely.

Nice suggestion Glo

I'm not too keen on the idea of seeing who can recite the Qur'an the most number of times, as this is likely to cause people to focus more on finishing the Qur'an than actually reflecting over it and may cause them to neglect reading it in its proper manner.

About the daily reading one, perhaps more detail can be given about what is meant? Whatever action we do undertake, let us remember to be cautious that we do not contradict the authentic sunnah Insha'Allaah.

Have any decisions been made by the mods with regards to forum sections being closed during Ramadan?

I think it might be useful for members (Muslims and non-Muslims alike) to know and be prepared for it.

Can somebody let us know, please?
Most likely, it will be World Affairs, Comparative Religion and Puzzles & Humour Insha'Allaah.

I think one thing we could all try to do by the end of Ramadhaan is read the whole Qur'aan at least once; if not in Arabic, then minimum we should aim to read it in a language which we understand. Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta'aala) has commanded us to ponder over the Qur'aan:

"Will they then not contemplate the Qur'an? Or are there locks upon (their) hearts (from understanding it)?" [Surah Muhammad, Ayah 24]

We should also try and memorise something from the Qur'aan;

[54:32] And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?

And those who do not know Arabic should make this an opportnity to learn to read the Quran in Arabic. I'm sure quran recital classes are conducted in most masjids around the world.

This is extremely important. Understanding what you're reading means everything.
