Salam to all Ramadaners! I have a question...........?

Question

Salam to all ramadaners. I have a question-

what age did you first start fasting? How did your first fast ever turn out?

You see, im 12 and im starting tommorow. I want to know your experiences....

Also am i starting too late? I didnt know that you had to start early if I did have to start early.

Answer 1

Since you haven't started your thing yet, it's not a MUST for you to keep all but you can keep some ( for practice ) Once you hit puberty (start your thing) then it becomes obligatory for you to fast all the days (MUST).  

Answer 2

better ate than never.

its good to encourage kids fro  age 5 to practice fasting, they dnt have to go the whole day.

this encourages them , by age 8 they should be able to do about 5-10 complete fasts.

practice makes perfect

Answer 3

I just converted so my first one this ramadan and im 18. Its really easy for me actually. i guess ramadan started September 1st. I started the second because i didnt know what time to start the first. Oops.

Answer 5

Walaykumsalam

I can't remember....I think I was about 11 years old.

I found it ok, I enjoyed it. Made me feel grown up!

You should start fasting when you hit puberty but it's ok to start before then as well.

~~~

It's ok, I started before that too.

Good luck sis, may Allah make it easy for you.

Answer 6

I was 5 years old when I had my first fast !i

Answer 7

i did my first fast when i was 5, i remember my brother and cousins played games with me the whole day to keep me occupied.

the first time i fasted for the whole month was when i was 9.

Answer 8

i started when i was like 8. it turned out okay.  

Answer 9

Well, I too started at 12.

You are not starting late. It is perfectly O.K. at 12.

The first anticipations regarding fasting may feel daring to you. But in actual it is not. It only appears to be a difficult task. But once u step into it, it is really easy. God makes it easy (really easy). So don't be scared or excited.

Just be cool. Take good rest and do not exhaust yourself. Keep in mind that you can ALWAYS break your fast, if it gets tooo difficult for u. God does NOT wish hardship for us. He is Kind and Merciful.

So do not worry.

Answer 10

I started doing half-fasts when I was about eight or nine. If you haven't had your "...._____ (girl thing)", then it's not mandatory. It's good practice, though! Good luck!  And you're lucky-- I had to start when I was eleven.
