South Africa- we started fasting today (1st September), it wasn't too bad.
I studied in the morning, then I had a nap, then I just hung around dreaming about food till we broke fast.

So Ramadaan Mubarak to everybody!!!!!!!!!!

Inshallah~!Tomorrow Morning Will Be Our First Fast. I'm really Glad about Ramzan This Time. My Day will be Off tomorrow from the University. It will start on 3rd. It will allow to prepare for fasting a day before. Also I have my B'day in Ramzan ^w^
 
1st of Spetember, Finland.

We finished iftar about 2 hours ago and I had a blast, mashaAllah! I had to wake up at 03:30 AM and ate until 04:08, then we made iftar at 08:35 PM. The day went so smoothly elhamdulillah, although during school's lunchtime my stomach a bit made noise but that's natural; it is used to get food then. It went away. I made an exam and we got the results immediately, I got full-score elhamdulillah. Power of fastin,g I'm telling you. When I came home, it was a lil bit tougher, had nothing much to do and became sleepy, so I slept for an hour.

Otherwise, my mood today was very good and I felt quite refreshed. I always enjoy Ramazan, gives me that special feeling I need from time to time.

Fitnah at school? Nah, not really. ANytime I see something not pleasent, I just look away. Nothing bothers me lately, elhamdulillah. It's like I rather think of my hunger, prayers and getting through the day, than noticing something fintah about my surroundings.

Tomorrow fasting starts almost same time. I gotta wait until 11 o'clock PM, last prayer to pray and then off to sleep. After I eat, I go to sleep and tomorrow school starts at 9:30 AM, not 8:05 AM as today. I'll get more sleep inshaAllah. Waking up wasn't even hard today, I seriously hope it'll be like this the rest of the month.

1 sep 2008 UK

we have just finished eating our iftar. we didnt eat that much since we were fasting for 19 hours which was good cos we never made so many food.
but Ahamdullah this day has went really well. its 9:35 right now which means we've got like another 5 hours till suhoor. there isnt much difference between iftar and suhoor just about 6 hours. so i dont think that we gonna even wake up for suhoor but u know its sunnah so we might just wake up and just have some dates and a drink.

Alhamdullah that the first day of Ramadhan i wasnt in school because i was really tired and i felt sleepy not like i did sleep. but it wasnt a good day to start school. tomorrow is my last day of my hoilday then am back to school.

today, first day of Ramadan, I have the day off. it is labor day here, no more white shoes after today ..
22 more mins until maghrib.. we are having red skin potatoes and chicken insha'Allah...

I almost didn't make sihoor today, yesterday I shopped for all kinds of goodies.. there was something I was interested in called Quince, sarfengali in Arabic? had no idea what it is in Arabic or English lol looks like pears or guava.. but I got fig and raspberry jam instead...

Anyhow I did try to be productive today.. have much work to finish but was feeling kinda of lax (on the account it is first day) and wasted it on a couple of posts here...

eh my mom just told me it is time to breakfast wohoo

laters peeps
 
1st September 2008...

The first day of Ramadan...and it's a public holiday as we celebrated Independence Day on 31.08.08 which is on Sunday...so the holiday was extended one more day.

Managed to read Al Fatihah and Al Baqarah (until verse 155) for several times during the daytime.

It was raining heavily...so the weather was not so hot...

Went to Ramadhan Bazaar at Kilang Lama (5 mins driving from my home) with both of my sisters at 5.00PM...it was still raining heavily and too many people were there. We bought some food and waited 20 minutes as the traffic was so bad.

I watched a Malaysian-made documentary called "Syahadah" at 6.30PM. It was about Muslims in Cordoba, Spain. There are about 1,000 Muslims (mostly Moroccans, with some Spaniard reverts) out of 1.4 million population in Cordoba. They have a small mosque and one Halal Certification Centre for the whole of Spain. Most of the staffmembers are reverts. It showed a Spaniard revert who decided to sell Halal food. Then it showed a Halal-certified farm factory just outside of Cordoba. The documentary also showed the Great Mosque of Cordoba.

At 7.27PM we had our first Iftaar of the year...we had plain rice, chicken cooked in Soy-sauce and oyster sauce, dhall curry, cempedak (a tropical fruit) fritters, roti sorai (a local pancake that looks like a net), fried springrolls, dates and lychee drinks.

We went to the mosque for Isha' and Taraweeh prayers after performing Maghrib at home.

I woke up at 4.00 AM and had fried noodle for suhoor.

taraweeh last night was the best mashallah soo many people and the kids werent as wild as they use to be lol
 
Not a good start for me today. I didn't get up for suhoor for some reason and now I pay the price.
 
AssalamuAlaykum Warahmatullah

Hmm, Ramadaan seems extra special this year for some reason, SubhanAllah walhamdulillah. Been going to the masjid for Taraweeh salah and the atmosphere is just awesome.

Yesterday one of the sisters had her several month old child with her, it kep crying and in the end she prayed whilst holding him, subhanAllah if it had been any other month the other sisters would have gotten impatient and criticised the sis for bringing her crying kid. But during Ramadaan we're filled with so much patience masha'Allah that nobody said anything.

Getting through Ramadaan with the HeartWheelJournal is just amazing and it provides that extra special touch that will make my Ramadaan outstanding Bi'ithnillah. Hmm I think I might try attaching the PDF doc to the post insha'Allah so that others can benefit.

Was talking to momma today and we was remembring the times when Iftar was at 4.30pm, was just saying that although this fast is 3 and a half hours longer, we cant really tell the difference, meaning dont feel as hungry, Alhamdulillah.

Hmm this thread is quite a good idea ya know.

WassalamuAlaykum Warahmatullah
 
2nd of September, Finland

Today I got more tired than yesterday, but my schedule was full and I had so much to do. Elhamdulillah, things went smoothly. I see a change in myself already, when fasting, I feel so much more patient and weirdly enough, more concentrated. You'd think I'd sit there thinking about food, lol.

Only tough thing will be later on Friday this week, when we are suppoused to buy pizzas and eat them at school. I'm going to have to answer to a few people, urgh. Haha, their pizza slize will fall from their mouth, I bet they will go, "WHAAT?!" and ask me how I'm surviving. Haha, aj aj.
I just told my closest friends I'm fasting, the rest will know if they ask (which they will later on).

I'm recently in such a good mood, inshaAllah this won't change. I even took up on me a huge responsibility at school, inshaAllah won't regret it later on, haha.

I just love Ramazan, there's something special about it.


In about an hour it's time for Iftaar! It's 19:25, 7:25 PM now. I woke up at 3:30 AM again.
 
02 September,
got up at half 3, getting really late, quickly ran downstairs, brush my teeth, my grandma was making chaptises. i then started to make tea for everyone. After the tea was made, i got my curry and my chapti. Then at 4.06 i closed my fast. i read namaz and went to sleep!
 
2nd September 2008 - Malaysia

It's the first working day in Ramadan...the office hours was changed from 8.30 AM - 5.30 PM to 8.00 AM - 4.30 AM.

It was raining heavily through out the whole day... Alhamdulillah...at least it's not a hot day...

After finished working, went down and bought some doughnuts and Murtabak for Iftaar...

Arrived at home by 6.15 PM....

At 6.30 I watched the second episode of "Syahadah". Today it's about Muslims in Granada. There are more Muslims in Granada than in Cordoba. Their mosque is way bigger that the one in Cordoba. They even allowed to do "call of prayer (azan)" openly. Unlike Cordoba, there are many Spaniard reverts in Granada. The Friday sermon was given in both Arabic and Spanish. There are classes about Islam and Arabic conducted for the reverts and non-Muslims. There is also a very active Muslima centre called Zainab Yahsh centre. They have cooking class, sewing class and dance class. God bless Granada.

Had Mee Hailam (Southern Chinese noodle), murtabak (a kind of pancake with beef in it) and doughnuts for Iftaar... Iftaar time was 7:27PM.

Went to Isha' and Taraweeh prayers at 8.30 PM and the service ended by 10.00 PM.

Woke up for Iftaar at 4.00 AM and had sandwiches, hot milo and plain water...lots of plain water as usual...

Someone was going to have to make this thread, so I figured it may as well be me.

I've started it a bit earlier so people can talk about how people are preparing for Ramadan in their area..

So feel free to share your thoughts on Ramadan 2008.:)

This is our 3rd day of ramadaan here in Australia and so far so good alhumdulillah. I have already started to memorise more of the quran and I'm onto my second surah to memorise, Wish me luck everyone. May Allah SWT make this month a benficial month for us all and shower his mercy upon us.
 
:sl: Alhamdulilah fasting today was not that hard, my mother left back to my father (he was spending Ramadan alone, I miss him so much <3) inshaaAllaah she arrives home safely. :) I spent the first day of Ramadan with my extended family because they had asked me to and my grandmother was very surprised that I was leaving to go back home to say goodbye to my mother, but I couldn't do it. I'm always with my mother, it's very hard for me to leave her I'm very attached to her alhamdulilah (being the youngest does that to you you know :) ). Anyway, afuur came fairly quickly mashaaAllaah. Since no one cooked afuur here, I had told my sister to get a roll from the corner store and to ask whether the way they cooked the meat/poultry was halal. Alhamdulilah it was, and the food was sufficient. So we had iftaar/afuur with that and left the rest for suxuur. Now inshaaAllaah I have work tomorrow, so inshaaAllaah by the time I get back I'll sleep for a bit and then wake up for afuur/iftaar. Unfortunately though, I won't be able to go to taraweeh today but inshaaAllaah I will try on the weekend when I don't have work.

Ramadan mubarak everyone, great thread mashaaAllaah.
