It's ok, feel hungry and thirsty sometimes but then just get over it. I'm pretty occupied to think about it anyways!

Re: Any Muslims on eXceem! - I am :)


I can't confirm the source but I think Kanoute + some other muslim football players used to train and fast whilst playing.

Thats not that bad as battles were fought with soldiers fasting back in the day(!)

Although strictly speaking the prime reason for fasting isn't to recreate living in poverty, it does put into perspective that many people are literally fasting for years with perhaps only 1 meal whilst working in terrible working conditions.

Yup, its a fact Kolo Toure used to fast whilst still playing for Arsenal. I have heard countless accounts of him praying five times a day, despite his time-consuming and demanding profession as a professional football player.

For sure this Ramadhan is proving to be one of the most toughest yet, well at least for me it is! with the start of Uni and work coinciding with Ramadhan, its proving to be a real challenge, but with the grace of Allah (SWT) i have managd to keep them all so far (xcept 1 ).

Re: Any Muslims on eXceem! - I am :)


The fast has been going well for me so far. I will miss a day when I fly to Cape Town this week but I will make it up because Eid in CT is a day later. I have already packed suitcases full of Eid presents for the kids. Fasting is not easy but Eid makes it worthwhile.

I understand why you fast but I thought it was a physical impossibility to go a week without water?
Or do you fast all day then you area allowed a drink of water at night?

Lol...don't worry mate, that's a common misconception

The fast is from prior to sunrise all the way to sunset.

More specifically: we have a meal (Sehri) prior to the morning prayer (Fajr). The breaking of the fast (Iftar) happens at the time prior to the evening prayer (Maghrib) at Sunset. Iftar is usually packed out with plenty of food and fruits.

.....now you can impress your mates with your extensive knowledge!

Yeah, must be a hard life training for three hours a day and having the rest of the day off.

What's the point of fasting? What do you get out from apart from losing weight, and feeling hungry/thirsty?

What's the point in having a thread, if no-one reads it?!

Re: Any Muslims on eXceem! - I am :)


There's loads of sub-religions within the main religions if you see what I mean, something like christianity is going to have a huge number of different variations based on the specific culture.

Then there's the African aspect as well for example, where different tiny tribes have their own unique beliefs.

And then we have this very strange religion that we are preaching right here! Freebie preaching! How we always pray for those sinful yellows to become lawful greens and that we pray and hope that they wont become hardcore criminals and turn red on us!

Cheers
