Most important question - when is the dry night? Tuesday or Wednesday?

Theoretically it would be tomorrow night until Wednesday night?

With the changes in the law this year, will everywhere have to enforce this?

Is there a dry night at the end of Ramadan? I don't remember there being such a thing 🤔

I wouldn’t bank on that if I was you, because the one up there is too particular about everything (judging by the laws of physics he created, where not a single atom goes missing with being accounted for) . But if I was you, I’d rather entertain the idea that sometime in my lifetime I hope to stumble across the holy grail (the enlightenment of the mind and heart) and then catch up with the bad debts (so to speak). It is risky, though , because you are in a race against time with death, and quite so often the latter is cleverer!!

Cough*holierthanthoubullshitagain*cough
Oh please! Who the f*** gave you the right to judge anyone? Have you already got a passport to the promised land? It is knowitalls like you who make my blood boil and here is another one of your kind who thinks he has the answer to it all. Repeat after me : I AM ONLY ANSWERABLE FOR MY OWN SINS!!
THIS is why there is division in Islam right now. Because of basturds like this who are allowed a voice :

I am of the school of thought that if you find someone of radical thought or you are aware of someone who might harbor radical views (as the case here), you vehemently and loudly call it out to stem it in the bud if you can or if not then at least make everyone else around you aware of the idiot's radical views. New age thinking this.

I actually know the problem that you are suffering from. Your case, my friend, exhibits all the symptoms of a physiological disorder called ‘Identity crises’, quite common among those terribly confused British Asians. I actually may have a therapy for such a case which might be the answer to your prayers. Every time you woke up in the morning, stand up in front of the mirror and repeat this verse:

Hoo-Haa, I an’t conventional, I am a funky muslim…Hoo-Haa..

You can do it on a rap rhythm of choice if you wish. Now, once you do that over a period of one month then your vision of who you are will become clearer. May I also suggest that when you do this exercise you do it away from the attention of the wife, as she may end up filing for a divorce by the end of that month. :lol:

On the contrary, this guy has actually made my day of Eid. I was longing for a good laugh
