Here is the very most important question: Hey everyone. Around 11:00AM this day, I slipped and fell. After which, an entire wrap of shawarma dipped in extra tahini fell into my mouth. This seemed to be odd, but nothing out of the ordinary, just a stray shawarma on the run. But what happened after truly amazed me. A rogue apple slice, along with approximately three liters of water poured into my mouth. Should I continue my fasting, or was it by the grace of Allah that he gave me a sign to break my fast? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lived in the middle east for almost a decade... absolute funniest thing online was the fake call in show where a guy asked if he slips in his kitchen and an entire chicken schwarma falls into his mouth with extra hummus does it count as a gift.

It is also very important to note about Ramadan, I think it gets overlooked by the fasting, but during Ramadan Muslims give so much in charity (sadaqah) and obligatory 2.5% of their wealth (zakat) for people in need.

Wow, I haven't seen Obi since I took my shahada. Alhamdulillah for this special episode. Jazzakallah khairn. Edit: Just finished the end and yes Ramadan has saved me for my audhd. Not an exaggeration. Saved. The discipline is precious. But I practice weeks before Ramadan so it is more focused and emotionally mature for me in my case.

A Muslim friend explained it as a way to experience some discomfort as a reminder of how much worse the poor and displaced feel who go hungry every day and night. She and her husband always brings us a wonderful Indian food and beverage basket during the first week.

At Uni, I had several friends that were fasting for Ramadan. But the way they did it was to sleep all day and do their lab work and study during the night. It always felt to me like they were cheating. Thank you for explaining things to me, I understand better how hard it can be.

I love hearing your explanations and answers to questions. As a westerner who has very little understanding of Ramadan, I didn't know what questions to even ask! I love learning whatever I can about different cultures, countries, and people (and food!) Thank you!

I always send that meme to my friend at the beginning of ramadan every year. We laugh at it every year
