To all Muslims and non Muslims like, Ramadan has ended so greetings, best wishes and above all peace to you.

I can now begin to try and put my weight back and stop being miserable! Joking aside, I miss Ramadan already, it is very special month for Muslims.

[Elmyn Noos]

Fucking hell I could do with a Ramadan. Been eating some right shit recently and starting to get a belly.

[real red]

What does Eid Mubarak mean then Rash, just "Happy end of Ramadan" or something?

I am doing my own fast next week for a blood test and am already dreading it. And I'll be asleep for most of the fast, and allowed water too. I couldn't cope with a month of it so well done.

[Rashid]

You can still do it Emlyn, just don't eat or drink between 5.45am and 6.15pm and when you do eat, eat fruit and one main mean preferable after midnight.. do it for a month and watch weight come off!

my mum works with a muslim and he eats marsbars and stuff during ramadan. apparently you can only eat when you can see the moon (meaning night time) and he used to put a coat over his head and eat and thought he got away with it. what a joker ay!?!?!

do you find that many muslims arent't as strict now a days rash?

Mubarak = Best Wishes/Thanks/Thanks Giving - you get the drift.

Eid - There are two Eid's one marking the end of Ramadan (Eid Ul Fitr) and one which is on it's own 2 months and 10 days after Ramadan (Eid Ul Adhar).

People are far stricter now than they were 10 years ago, and I think the "Global War on Terror" has given Islam even more of a platform and made Muslims stick together more and appreciate our religion.

I am not strict at all, I only do the basics. The vast majority of Muslim's although not praying every day, do actually fast. I don't know any that don't except for those who are ill. There are many who don't fast and who hide and eat, it's pathetic really cos why hide? If you believe in God, you cannot hide from him.

Greetings and best wishes Rashid, to you and the family.

Best bit about Ramadan is the feasting. I shared a house with a Muslim for a while and once during ramadam, ace it was. Did I get fat or what? two full meals then a feast everynight. Good days them.

[Section_31]

Nice gesture Rash, same to you fella.

[Rashid]

I appreciate the poor more, they usually beg during the day and eat at night and the mornings... my God, the stomach pains and general feeling of not eating is very difficult. Then there are the near 2 hour prayers every night at Mosque.

I've fasted a few times as my mothers side is entirely muslim. Fucks up your metabolism thats the only problem. For those who want to try it; first few days it's hard but it's all in the mind and after a week it'll run smooth. I wouldnt recommend it to builders and those who do hard manual work. The food (mid-east cuisine) is always awesome and I always try to be back home for Eid.

Rashid: what food did you have for Eid?

We are just about to eat, Roast Chicken (Indian Style) with spicy mince stuffing. The usual pilao rice, roti, curry etc too... I have to say though, nobody eats like we do from the sub-continent!

[King Gheedorah]

Sounds quality..my mum is an expert in arab/lebanese food and she always feeds me well whenever I'm home. I will actually starve myself for a day before next time I return back home

Rashid,

Eid Mubarak means: "Have a blessed holiday" not
" Best Wishes/Thanks/Thanks Giving - you get the drift.”

Football or Islam, you haven’t got a bloody clue!
