Re: Ramadan dos and dont's
Festival City mall has 4 of the biggest advertising banners you can imagine for TGI's.
They consist of pictures of burgers. One on each. Probably 8ft square (the pics). It made me hungry and I'd just eaten. |

Ramadan doesn't affect air travel, why do you think they all fly to Europe :)

I'm very impressed by people who can give up smoking, even if they've only managed a few weeks. |
Re: Ramadan dos and dont's
This is in the Doha News today. If I don't eat all day, which happens atleast once a week I dont end up in hospital. Do they force feed themselves ?!
Some 128 people landed in Hamad Medical Corp.’s emergency room complaining of stomach upsets and intestinal problems on the first day of Ramadan yesterday, the Peninsula reports. That number is only expected to go up this month, doctors told the newspaper, especially after iftaar, the time that Muslims break their fast. The health problems have been criticized by some scholars here as part of a larger problem of over-consumption during the holy month, spurring a debate about the “right” way to celebrate Ramadan. The Peninsula reports: It is a matter of growing concern that the food intake of fellow Muslims doubles during the holy month, household expenses rise and people spend more and more time seeking ways of entertaining themselves than praying, said (Fanar’s Sheikh Abdussalam Al Basuini). When asked about people revelling the whole night during Ramadan with many visiting ‘sheesha joints’, playing billiards, driving around and spending time in cafeterias that are open the whole night, the Islamic scholar said: “This is all against the spirit of the holy month and the spirit of Islam.” To be fair, there was also a marked uptick in the number of people attending Friday and Taraweeh prayers, Gulf Times reports. Do you think people in Qatar have lost the true meaning of Ramadan? Or is being social a big part of what makes the month special? |

Disgust is the key. I smoked for 35 years and quit on the spot. You must be disgusted enough to overcome urges. Willpower, I wish you the best.

Re: Ramadan dos and dont's
Take a look at this video....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCv6...layer_embedded What Not to Do During Taraweeh by Yousef Erakat Here’s an irreverent take on special night prayers that are held during Ramadan. Note: The guys in the video are just having fun and say they do not mean to offend or insult their faith. |
