When did everyone start fasting? My first one was yesterday. Today i'm feeling really hungry and thirsty- just counting down the hours until iftaar. I'm going to saudi tomorrow for umrah. Fasting is going to be sooooo hard there! I don't feel like fasting on the journey, i know you don't have to. But i probably will cos i'd feel bad afterwards.

same started yeday.. Wow mashallah your so lucky to go saudi in ramadan.. its going to be packed but imagine the rewards .. please keep the Ummah in your duas... and feel blessed that you are ..

Ramadan Mubarak to everyone!
Honestly, I haven't been really hungry and that was also the case yesterday. A little tired since I work from 8AM to 4PM every day It's so hot here, and I was stuck in traffic for about an hour and my car was HOT!

I'm not into eating a lot and cannot understand how people can gain weight during the month of Ramadan. I eat two samosas, and that's enough, but sometimes my mum forces me to eat a little bit more

Many of my friends and their families eat as if there is no tomorrow. Come on. The reason we're fasting is to feel the hunger on our own body and think about the poor ones. What's good if you eat for 3 persons?

It's been OK so far, I got very hungry in the last half-hour to Iftar, seeing all the food being prepared! Of course the heat does not help, it feels really humid and stuffy - still, spare a thought for our brothers and sisters in Iraq, with 51C heat and NO Air-Conditioning, fans or electricity!

Not during the fasts (though obviously you wouldn't think people would have to make do without for a whole month.. so obviously just during the fasts each day). When people break fast at around 9ish in the UK they're free to though

I always find these pictures a great inspiration during ramadan, these are from 2009, and really are beautiful:

SubhanAllah, I think you are incredibly lucky to be going to Saudi in this special month, the atmosphere over there must be amazing! Agreed, it will be MUCH hotter there and hence much harder, but make the most of it iA and you will be fine

And is it true you don't have to fast on the journey, and how comes?
