When does Ramadan begin each year? What is Ramadan?
My good friend is a muslim(kind a like him ... if you know what I mean). I wanted this Ramadan to be special for him. I was thinking of fasting too. But I'm not muslim if anyone could suggest the best ways to be a part of ramadan without disrespecting the religion.
My friend has been through a string of break ups, I want to remind him through this ramadan that life can be tough but I m there for him....He just has to believe in me.. You think this would help
Please suggest ?
Forgive and ignore harsh, self-righteous replies.
Release all upset from her heart about such Muslims - but you will benefit greatly if you please to take this month to find the quiet in your heart. Women support the men they truly love by becoming strong in themselves and in their own connection in Faith. Remember, that the more you put into your prayer effort, the more you will get from it. Know also, that God is the same as Allah, just different names. But poetically, the word "Allah" rolls off the tongue like "love" and "all" and other words that touch the soul with fullness. If you fast, do not fast without taking time for prayer - really, amazingly, you will feel less hunger, sustained by a strengthening in your spirit. Learn the prayer times. Some are very early! Commit each night, before you sleep, your resolve to wake in enough time to wash 3xeach (wudu) -like "baptism" to clean not only body, but to make your spirit clean for prayer, your hands 3x, your head (just some water drip on top 3x) to open your mind, your eyes 3x to make clear & open to the words on the pages of the Qu'ran (don't touch it with your bare hands if you have your period, because that is powerful in its own way), your nose, your mouth for prayerful speech, your ears so you may hear Divine guidance in your life (all wash 3x) and your feet 3x, that wherever you walk you walk with purpose in peace. Cover your head when you pray and if you want a truly amazing experience, pray in the masjid. When you b p.o. w, you will feel your whole soul ground out like all the negativity that has built up just charges out, empties from you. Pray and feel the power of spiritual love enter and purify and strengthen your heart. I know it sounds contrary to what you were hoping, but this is something you should do in secret to understand him. Or at least with the understanding that, for many Muslims, this is a time of abstinence - not just from sex, but from all other focuses beyond Allah. If you want to really support him, keep your whole chest covered when you see him so his efforts at purity are not made more difficult. Likewise, long pants or skirts with a shirt that hangs down to cover so your bum doesn't tempt thoughts. Respect his efforts enough to keep your speech clear of flirtation, asking only about the meaning of the readings and things the Imam says.Remember, if he is a truly good man, he will be trying hard to respect his faith. The respect he shows for his faith is the respect he will show you - if you respect his faith and prove yourself a woman worthy of that same respect. I know, it sounds so "old school" - but in Islam, there is not a separation of culture and religion. If you really love him, you will need to read a lot to understand this, and how important it is not to be seen as "one of those loose American girls." it is a hard life to follow these rules, and if you cannot follow them now, the future will not be possible for you two and you will be setting yourself up for heartbreak. My prayers go with you!
Slm Malak, Could you please give me you direct email address. I really like you response to the ladies question and would like to explore something with you. My email address is mailforlester@gmail.com
Shukran. Wslm.
As a revert of 3 years,I can tell you culture is 'not' islam..I still wear my jeans and cowboy boots and now adding a hijab..............
..Islam is easy
People make it hard...
Ja it will work jst show hin ur support thts all
If you want to respect his religion, leave him alone.
Ramadan is a time for serious religious reflection and not a time for 'hooking up.' I don't even understand how you could think of using a religious holiday as an opportunity to get closer to a practicing Muslim that is trying to cleanse himself and his body of unpure thoughts during the day and in the evening.
Shame on you!
What I suggest, since you asked is that YOU take this time to think about how you live your life and your thought process to even come up with such a thing. The best thing for you to do is leave him alone during Ramadan so he can concentrate on what he's supposed to concentrate on - Allah, not you.
There are always two types of benefits to every deed a muslim does. First is of this life and second benefit is of the life after this one. You will get the benefit of this life only. I would like to add that whatever you do in Ramadhan is for yourself. All your fasting, nights of worship, prayers and self control is to please Allah Swt. So if you do not believe in Him then all your offerings are in vain. Your friend has nothing to do with your fasting. Same is the case for me. When I fast, I do not do it to show it to my mother , father. Bro, sis, etc. I would request u to remove from your mind that you will be helping him by fasting alongside him. The only good thing that will come from you fasting is the scientific benefit of fasting, feeding the poor and self control.

Peace Avni. It doesn't say in the Qur'an that you have to be Muslim to partake in Ramadan. I'm not Muslim myself, but this year will be my 3rd year fasting, and all my Muslim friends approve. In fact one of my good friends is giving me my very own prayer rug. I'd say the best way to make this Ramadan special for your friend is to express to him how you feel, and then tell him you want to share in the Ramadan experience with him. The worst he could do is say no, but I doubt he will.
Good Luck and God Bless.
SALAM ALAIKOM
So the ramadan start inshaullah all Muslim (suni and shai) around the world will take this opportunity to reestablish their closeness to Allah, forget what happened in the past and look for a better future, respecting every single person of the community from elder to children, from Christian to bodist. But it is not clear for most Muslin that the should have this responsibilities all 12 months, not only ramadan.
The tension between (Suni and Shai) in Iraq and Syria is not what we have to do we should make a strong bond, using this holly month we can do more than praying inside the mosques. If we can't change ourselves from the ideologies of converting all the world into(suni and Shai), how could possibly we change our children future and where will be get to.
it is the time to act, come together whether if you are Suni or Shai whether if you pray five times a day or three time. Lets Make decision of our future ourselves not, others, seek help from our brothers or sisters not foreigners.
At the end lets make this happen, there are already Muslims men and women severely damaged. people can't simply afford to loss any more member of their family.
Muslims lives are in crises lets help those how need our support, come together, whether if you are Suni or Shai, black or white. but at the end of the day we are all the same family.
Thank you.
I'm so moved by this post. It has inspired me to not only be better Muslim but also to be a better human being to treat all that Allah has created with respect. I'm gonna save this,so that whenever I feel myself reverting back to my old ways,I can use this as reference so that I can continue to work at being a better human being.
As Salaamu Alaykum Ramadan Mubarak
