Hello,

Tonight the Taraaweeh prayers start, so technically we will be fasting tomorrow.
 
Yup tomorrow, can't wait! All the best bro! :)

:183 O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint

May we all benefit from this month. Ameen

 The messenger of Allah (saws) reported in a hadith al-Qudsi that Allah (SWT) said:"All acts done by the sons of Adam are meant for him, except fasting. It is exclusively meant for Me, and I (alone) will reward him for it" (Bukhari and Muslim)
Abu Sa'id al Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:"Every servant of Allah who observes fast for a day in the way of Allah, Allah would remove, because of this day, his face farther from the Fire (of Hell) to the extent of seventy years' distance." (Sahih Muslim)

Thanks for asking, just got some things to sort out.. which is why i don't come on as much. You can PM me whenever you want though, i might login every now and then. Or you can ask anyone here, no worries. See how much replies you've got already?! :)



anyways do you have a reference for this particular bit? My wife is getting on my case about the whole thing and I think if I could explain this bit to her she may be more apt to try an understand. Thanks for the advice and the information

I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for, because i don't have any evidences from the Biblical sources, however - what the final Messenger of God, Muhammad (peace be upon him) has said is the truth, and there's no doubt in that since even his severest enemies testified to the fact that he never lied in his life. And the Lord of the Worlds has testified to this also, when He says (translation of the meaning):

By the Star when it goes down,-

Your Companion [Muhammad - peace be upon him] is neither astray nor being misled.

Nor does he speak of (his own) desire.

It is no less than inspiration sent down to him:

He has been taught (this Quran) by one mighty in power


[Qur'an 53: 1-5]




​
So anyway, what did he (peace be upon him) say?

Imam Ahmad reported Wathilah bin Al-Asqa` that Allah's Messenger said:


 «أُنْزِلَتْ صُحُفُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي أَوَّلِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، وَأُنْزِلَتِ التَّوْرَاةُ لِسِتَ مَضَيْنَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، وَالْإِنْجِيلُ لِثَلاثَ عَشَرةَ خَلَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ الْقُرْآنَ لأَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ خَلَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَان»


(The Suhuf (Pages) of Ibrahim [Abraham] were revealed during the first night of Ramadan. The Torah [to Moses] was revealed during the sixth night of Ramadan. The Injil [Gospel to Jesus son of Mary] was revealed during the thirteenth night of Ramadan. Allah revealed the Qur'an on the twenty-fourth night of Ramadan.)

You might like this small article aswell, it's quite funny and informs you of some aspects which you might want to know the answers to. i.e. what to do if you're ill in Ramadan, should you fast or not? etc.

Thanks for your time! :) Hope you get closer to God/Allah in Ramadan, and be of the successful in this life and the next.






Peace.

what about chewing 0 calorie gum? Is that ok? Just curious

I think anything which goes down the food pipe, with the exception of saliva isn't to be taken during the fast. :) Sorry if it seems hard, but Allah is the Most Wise, and He will never let us fall into harm, unless the benefit is greater. And Allah knows best.



Peace.

I dont think it will be a problem, I am just a chronic gum chewer and I just feel odd not being able to chew on a nice minty peice of gum! LOL, I am very disciplined though anyways with my eating habits among other things, so I am hoping that I dont have to difficult of a time with this... Allah bless you all and thank you all again for all of your help and advice, hopefully this will be the last time in this thread I will have to bother anyone with these goofy questions :p

PEACE and good luck!

Just wondering how the fasting is going???

it's going good alhamdulillah. you notice the hunger the first few days (since ur used to munching all day) but eventually your body adapts. also, what you eat makes a big difference. For example, cereals will last a whole day while bread sandwich will digest with in hours. Oh and dates are the best thing, they take all day in slowly breaking down and giving you nutrients little by little thus keeping you from getting hungry.
 
All I know is, that Carbon Hydrates, like Noodles, Rice, Potatoes and bread quickly go into the blood and give you a push of energy, but is also quickly absorbed. I'm pretty sure, cereals do the job much better

:sl:
Isn't it sugars that are quickly used up and carbs that stay? And cereals are carbohydrates anyway...
