What do you love most about ramadan?

Question

Please tell me how you start your fast, and how you break it and what you love about ramadan

Mine goes like this:

1 reason why you LOVE RAMADAN

I love waking up. I hate eating food in the morning, especially, since I have a Pakistani family, my mum wakes up one hour before everyone else, & makes 'paratha' which is a Pakistani breakfast dish-fried flatbread & it's v. heavy so I feel stuffed. She serves this fried delicacy with sweet yoghurt & Pakistani spiced pickle or maybe some curry.

Then she forces me to drink 1 glass of water because I just don't drink water. And we pray, & then put the television on to listen to a Qari reciting the Qur'an.

Then I spend the day fasting&saving things to eat! Then the family counts down the minutes before the fast breaks & we eat 1 date & then mom lays the food spread out, consisting of other Pakistani food like: pakoras, samosa, roti (flatbread cooked on a metal girdle in the traditional way) &curry (karela, bindhi all delicious)

Answer 11

I wake for suhoor every morning, and get the suhoor started.  usually we eat a combination of breakfast items, hummus/foul, cheese, eggs, cereal, fruit.  And of course plenty of water,juice, coffee and tea. Then I pray, read Quran.  Then I wake the kids and we all eat as a family.  Then I get the kids off to school, clean up and then have a little nap if possible.  I do not prepare the iftaar until much later in the day.  I spend the day reading Quran, and relaxing.  The best thing about Ramadan of course is the opportunity for repentance.

Answer 12

more food for me

Answer 13

I love the atmosphere in Ramadan.  I feel like this holiday strengthens family and community ties.  I really like getting up in the morning for suhoor and the thought of all muslims getting up at this hour too.  I like knowing that we are doing something for the unfortunate in this world.  And best of all, I love counting down the days to Eid!

It's cool, I get a feeling of being cleansed and a renewal of self.  A sense of accomplishment at completing it day by day.  Also I tend to feel closer to my family in that month.

I get more focused in all aspects of my life too.

Answer 18

As Salaam O Alyakum to all,

Well, what I love about Ramadan, is that is it time for us to repent and earn more good deeds. I love the fact that I am starving for the Love of My Lord who has Created me, and I suth my stomach by Prasing/Glorying/Thanking Him.

Usually we commit so many sins, knowgly or unknowgly., but MashaAllah Ramdan is a time to earn more good deeds by reciting Quran, Praying, doing hosework, uplohding the ties of kins and with other muslims.

But it is so sad to hear that most of the muslims have Ramdan a festival of eating great food. May Allah guide us.

Last Ramadan we were living with my in-laws (non-muslims) so i used to wake up for sahoor, then make a prantha or sandwich with tea and then wake my husband, then we have food, with dates and water. Then I pray, read Quran. :) then sleep for sometime b4 my husband goes to work. I spent half of the day doing house work and sometime praying and reading Quran or watching Islamic programs on the net. And if my husband's sister came to our home we cook quite many things. otherwise most of the time my husband opens fast in the Mosque bcoz his working time finshes just a little b4 the time for iftar.

This time its gonna be different, InshaAllah. Bcoz now me and my husband are living sapreatly. :) so, InshaAllah i will be inviting my friends over for iftar and inshaAllah i wont have to open my fast alone most the time as it used to be.

I am eagrly waitting for Ramdan.

Answer 19

we really wanted to bloody know that didn't we

Answer 20

I love the fact there's the whole unity and the pure intention of fasting and understanding how the poor feel, we also distribute many things amongst the poor so that makes me feel good.

The food....i can go forever here LOl Its delicious!!!

salamz sis

Answer 21

hi

i like the feel of knowing that you have just completed a day of not eating.

i am a good person and kind but i get easily influenced by the devil- not praying

and i quite like "paratha" lol but i usually just sprinkle loads of sugar lol

i drink a glass of water too

hope this helps

Answer 22

It makes me more empathetic towards other people especially those who are the neediest.
