Why do Muslims fast during Ramadan? | Experts Explain 

Not all muslim fast, seen it myself muslims eating during lunch time this month!

​@@mtv565 it doesn't mean they're breaking their fast on purpose. Maybe they have a must to eat like ADHD pills because later they go insane

"awkward silence"

It will be impressive if you can ingest 3 litres of water at one go too.

_classic._

I get this reference

Look if you can take all that in one swoop without choking. Might as well call that a blessing from Allah

Reference?

why you wrote "a.s"? He's an Imam, not a Prophet

Allahumma laka sumna

yep, that is correct. anyone can fast. In a religious point of view, christians also fast. This is called lent (lenten) A period of reflection, almsgiving, and fasting. However it is somewhat progressive because we can choose to fast from other things such as social media, junk food, etc.

Finally someone say this.. The syariat of fasting is for mankind, not for muslims only.. but I can understand why some need to be correct politically and walk along the line to please everyone.. Lol

I think not eating is ok for me, tried few times during my weight loss days. But not drinking water is really tough.

fasting is indeed not just a Muslim thing, it's how it's performed that differs.

She said the minimum is $1.4

Ya lorh, similar to our burning session at temple causing heavy smoke sometimes..

It is the same everywhere when any particular religion is a majority in that country. Open your eyes, open your mind. Don't just single out the Muslims only.

@RanStuff Nobody's forcing you to stop eating. A curtain is not going to kill you. Y'all are too much 🙄

You seem to be projecting your unfounded fears…

​​@RanStuff It is totally different though. Indonesians also doesn't ban christmas decoration for example. Or any other religions stuff, we don't mind it too. I have a picture where there is a huge maybe 5 meters tall christmas tree, in front of a mosque. Like only couple meters in front of mosque where people praying. And nobody object. It is the beauty of Indonesia. If you go to indonesia in large city it is easier to find churches than mosques. Most mosques are small and inside small alleys. Most churches in large cities are huge and on the main roads. Now, when majority of the population are fasting, at least we expect those who don't fast show a bit of respect by not showing while you're eating is fair enough in my opinion. Nobody ban eating during ramadhan, but showing a bit of respect and have a bit of decency to hide while you were eating when your friends are in hunger won't kill you too. Because respect goes both ways. You can not expect someone to respect you if you don't respect them also. I myself doesnt mind people eat in front of me... and to tell you the truth, most of those that eat during ramadhan usually moslems as well, some are women who cannot fast some just doesnt want to fast. Also most of those sellers also moslems if you look carefully. Indonesians are majority moslems afterall. BUT i also not agree with some moslems who forced other people to close during ramadhan or something like that. And if you live here in Indonesia you must also notice that most of us also doesn't go around and forcing people to cover their food stalls or anything like that. It's just that when some do, it will be a huge news that every media will difinitely report it.

first time I heard being overly emotional can break your fast.

That’s the sad reality. They lack the knowledge

Religion makes you poor

Malays dont always mean muslims.

Rewind this video... Than you see 2 main reason why fasting a month in ramadhan

Ramadan fasting is not for health purposes. It's to remind people of the hardships of the poor and the less fortunates, having no food and drinks. If people aren't healthy enough to fast, they're not obligated too.

omg please shut up. this is for religious purposes.

@blizzaroxx you werent paying attention

Brother,im not an expert but all muslims will tell you this,we fast not because of health reasons,we fast to know how it feels like not having food or water from sun rise till sun set,its hard to explain fully to someone who does not practise ramadan so u go on and try fasting for 3 days and see how it feels,none of that IF stuff

didn't know you were this fragile 😂

@@nurul-mc5en didn’t know you were so insensitive

I think she means if you do it like “YOU WANT SOME?“Then you munch like a maniac😂😂.if eating we’re okay just eat lah jangan takut😅

How would you know if a person is fasting that you will become offended? 😆 trying to be provocative but no substance

@@yusufbest4475 my God tell me everything, pls respect my belief and my religion!

Kthanksbye

your comment is the perfect example of good intentions, poor delivery

@@thenurispunk UNDERSTANDABLE.

I do fast sometimes but i drink water .intermitten fasting is good for health .

Wut u trying to say is 中庸之道

Thats not the objective if this video is it? But you are welcome to kembangan or bukit batok and see for yourself.

There are 28 districts in Singapore and you only pointed out 2. Also, malays do not live in all the condos or landed place in Kembangan and Bukit Batok, so that ratio is even smaller. Try harder to support your counterargument =)

@@jasperherr8694 again, what does that got to do with this content? You werent asking the total difference in first place. Wrong avenue to do census. Next time be proper before asking a question.

Malays are in this video, maybe next time you can open your eyes bigger. Oh wait, your eyes are too small =(

Bro when u die u burnt to ashes and throw in the seaaaaa………….. what condo u talking

Its not rude but doing it purposely its not nice .i have muslims friends who i eat infront of them n they r ok with it .

Honestly they are kinda irritating calling the rest of the world rude when others eat. Muslims are the most entitled kids of the world

lol national emergency, you so funny bro

exaggerating on a textbook example.just eat we don’t care

Sour grapes...

Stir trouble and start to say their Allah is the best

Thats what I was thinking. Im a muslim and if you really have a problem with someone who you dont know eating infront of you, then you probably just have to turn away
