Question

when fasting for religion (muslim) wut shudnt I do, watch, listen to or say

Answer 1

if you truly believe in islam, you should know the answer to such a basic question

Answer 2

eat or drink until sun down. be near food because it will tempt you and that's not what fasting is for. You should not call attention to the fact that you are fasting because it is suppose to be your internal suffering not showing off.  

Answer 3

DEAR GOD STOP TYPING IN TEXT MESSAGE!!

There are letters on the keyboard in front of you.

Answer 4

Just don't eat.

Answer 5

You shouldn't eat or drink until sunset

Answer 6

The basics, as everyone has noted, is to refrain from food and drink until sunset.

More important is the inner attitude of fasting. It is no good to only observe outwardly while ignoring the true spiritual meaning of the fast.

So, always inwardly maintain an active awareness of why you are engaging on this fast. Then it will have its full benefit.

Answer 7

No ham sandwiches or beer until sunset!

Here's something you should do, though: read some science books and learn about that mysterious, far-off realm called The Modern World, with strange customs like *not* killing a woman for being raped, *not* beheading people for wanting out of Islam, *not* mutilating the genitals of young girls (how disgusting can you get?), *not* pretending that evolution is untrue, and a huge long list of other backward and barbaric nonsense like that.

Now watch someone's "feelings" get hurt and they report me for "insulting Islam." Such a thing is utterly unnecessary, as Islam insults itself millions of times every day by committing the atrocities mentioned above.

Answer 8

fasting is all about denying what the flesh wants.. Food, water, etc.  

When we deny ourselves earthly pleasures we get closer to God cause He will supply all of our needs, hungry pangs will subside etc.  

Fasting is all about being in communion with God and spending quality time with Him.

Answer 9

eat, drink, look at bad things on tv/computer, no music wit bad language in it, no bad language, and alot more u shouldnt do while fasting

Answer 10

If you have to ask here you must not be a practicing Muslim!  If you are then you have not been very well schooled on the ins and outs of the specifics of this religion.  I suggest you go and speak to someone at the Mosque, they will clear up any questions you have.  Why would you think there are people here who could really answer this question?  

Answer 11

the main things are: don't eat, don't drink, don't have s*x.

but apart from that, you just shouldn't do anything that is normally not allowed (like lying, swearing, etc.)

Answer 12

You shouldn't eat when your not supposed to.  Between pre-dawn meal and sunset.  Even if your forgetful friends keep offering you food during the day.  Avoid anything that would be irreligious i.e. sexual thoughts and actions and crude television, music, etc.  Basically abstain from alot of things... Try to keep your mind pure.  

Answer 13

Well besides not eating during daylight hours, you cannot smoke, have s*x, lie, curse.  You shouldn't watch tv.  You should spend more time reading the quran.  You're suppose to give more to charity.  You cannot chew gum, drink.  Some Muslims say you cannot brush your teeth, others say it's ok if you don't swallow any toothpaste.  

Answer 14

you shouldn't question why on earth you're doing it
