Answer 5

Where is your husband from?  Different places kind of have different traditions with food for breaking the fast during Ramadan.  Maybe you can find out what is something that his mother always had on the table for iftar and make it for him :)

Answer 6

You are haram for your husband and your husband should not have taken a Christian as his wife as he now does not have a Muslim home and should not even be fasting.

Christians are not "People of the Book" as some "Muslims" erroneously think or are taught.

People of the Book are Yahuudi or Nazaaraa who are Bani Israil.

Nazaaraa does not translate and does not imply Christian.

The Bible is a Hoax, according to Allah in the Quran when Allah says they did not crucify Isa al Masih ibn Mariam but were tricked into having it appear so to them, and this makes Christianity a Hoax and Jesus a Hoax.

Your husband was not following the Law of Allah when he took you for his wife and no ranting and raving can make it right.

For your own good and for the good of your husband and your children you should seriously consider studying Islam and becoiming Muslim.

You will do the World of good for your husband if you take your Shahada during this Ramadan.

I can tell you this because I was Christian when I got married to a Muslim and 12 years later I became Muslim by the Guidance of Allah.

If my wife's family were true Muslims we could never have gotten married while I was Christian.

My wife's father and sisters were more aware of Islam after i bacame Muslim.

Worship none but Allah!

There is no God but Allah!

Allahuakbarr!

Answer 8

Aww cute. That's nice of you to do.

Like the other's have said, I think what would make him smile is if you fasted with him for atleast the first day, wake up early and make him and yourself a big breakfast and just make an effort to help his fast be easier by spending it with him.

I think it would make him real happy that you're joining in and would apreciate it alot.

Answer 9

Eid is the end of ramadan, its as celebrated among Islamic societies with a similar energy that Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, or even christmas (on a smaller scale) though it is in no way related to the two holidays, I am just giving you an example of how exciting it is. Gifts are usually exchanged on Eid, and family and friends get together to eat a big dinner and have fun. The first Ramadan my husband and I spent together ( I was christain at the time) I attempted to fast with him for a day...yeah..i gave up. But, I appreciated his devotion to what he believed in, and did my best to make it more comfortable for him. I made sure dinner was ready by the time he could break his fast. I also got up before the crack of dawn and made him a big breakfast almost every day. Tea is another great thing to have ready, he preferred to have tea than water when he broke his fast because of the warmth and sweetness. I actually converted to Islam within the last three days of that first Ramadan, i was so impressed by his strong faith I looked into Islam a little less critically than I had in the past. Ok, a LOT less critically...anyways, have fun!  

Answer 10

Thats really nice and I agree with the rest of the people who said fast with ur hubby. Wake up early with him and fast with him and as for a lil pressie instead of giving him dates why not try the arabic sweets! You can get them from alot of asian places.. but i dont know where your from! Edgware road in london is a good place as they'd have a variety. Or you can go into any asian sweet shop and buy ladoos or rasmolia for when you both open your fast :)

if u dont want to get him food as a pressie (which really is the way to a mans heart lol) you can get him prayer beeds aka tasbee

good luck and happy ramadan to all the muslims n u and ur fam x

Answer 11

Why don't you fast with him to experience it with him. I'll bet you he will be very happy. Because you as a couple can do it as a team.

Answer 12

I'm also a Christian married to a Muslim and last year I was with him during Ramadan. It was actually the first time we met face to face and were getting married.  We were staying with cousins so his mom made sfoufa and shebakiya(two sweets) that are two of the traditional foods they eat as well as harira and boiled eggs.  I couldn't participate completely in the fast because I'm diabetic, but I ate as little as I could to keep my diabetes under control.  Like another said here you can have the food ready for him when the time comes to break his fast.  If he doesn't like dates, he might like figs and if so you can have a couple ready for him along with whatever he wants to have to drink.  Just having the food ready or if possible and he's home before the time for breaking his fast arrives he will probably help you prepare it.  That really was what we enjoyed the most, making the meal together.  Just supporting him and participating with him will mean the world to him and that will be enough to show him how much you love him.  Congrats on your first Ramadan and I hope it will be as much of a pleasure and blessing to you as my first experience was.
