Ramadhan Mubarak to all

Add your own, lets see what experience we can collect from the brothers and sisters during this month which is common to all us fasting folk.

For abit of fun and laugh at ourselves during fasts

Here is the first ones to get the ball rolling,


Waking up really early in the morning during the first few days of Ramadhan to make sure to get enough sustenance for the day, and despite your looking forward to it, and the previous night not been able to get to sleep so soundly due to the stress of the thought of it all, ending up getting very little sleep

‎2) when you wake up(with plenty off time to eat) not actually feeling hungry and really forcing yourself to eat all this food which was prepared the night before, and just looking at it with the feeling of "i just want to go back to bed"

3) so then you go back to sleep with the intention of waking up 30 mins before fajr and eating then, but you actually wake up 5 mins before fajr and having a panic attack of whether to eat or pray on time(in the end not getting either)

4)now that it is time to pray fajr, suddenly noticing that you forgot to have any water, and remaining thirsty for the whole day

‎5)up until almost the time of breaking of fast, been extremely thirsty and hungry, and seeing and smelling all the food duing the day that others enjoyed, made you make a list of food that you suddenly become deserious and doing the biggest shopping trip on the way home from work with abit of everything the isles offer

6) once breaking the fast finding you actually can eat only very little , and all the days suffering and anxiety and desiring of food and wishing and imagining all the food you will be eating at this time, finding you actually only eat a mouthful and one drink of water

‎7)Over the next couple of hours eating 3-4 maybe even 5 times before you hit the sack again to go through this whole experience all over again

experiencing these extremes during the day and night, where at night you are full to the point that you are sick and cant even bear to imagine or look at food, and during the day feeling like you are living in ethiopia and all this pressure is upon you where you feel so hungry(despite that your guts are full from the over stuffing the night before, infact your so stuffed your like a Turkey on Christmas ready to be placed in the oven) but yet still feeling the hunger, or the nnafs so strongly enticing you to desire all this food that is around

"Finding during the month of Ramdhan the chef in you and ending up looking up all these recipes and collecting them and planning to cook the foods, up until you break your fast you suddenly dont care anymore, until the next day where you picked up where you left of"

Another i thought of:

After three or four days into the fasting, whence it phsycially exhausts you all this change to the body, and taking a nap on the third or fourth day in the afternoon(to accelerate the time for breaking of fast) and intentionally not praying asr to make sure you wake up before time for breaking of fast, actualy waking up 1-3 hours after breaking of fast, and missing asr, maghreeb prayers

Making dibs on the food on the table when everybody gathers around a couple of minutes before the break of fast and the smell of the food in the last 20 mins before the break of fast that hits your nose like dry air and turns your stomach to want to jump out of its place and devour the oven/pan/wherever the food is cooking

maybe we should have made this into a voting style post so we can find which is the most common and popular experience, and publish it

the Quran that plays on Radio/Satellite Tv in the last hour before the end of fast that your mother or father is playing while she cooks the food (most probably Abdul Baseet)

Make sure to include on the list, the case where some idiots have a Cigarette in their hand ready to light it up at the slight sound of the Adhan, food comes much later for these ones...

Does anyone ever get it, that if you don't take your time with the first bits that you eat or drink, you get what seem like blisters in your mouth.

[Gepetto_Zapata]

You think this guy even thought about blisters or blasters before stuffing himself?
