    How are you coping with fasting?
    For all those Muslims who are fasting during the of Ramadan, how is it going? What do you do to endure the hunger such as exactly what do you to keep yourself occupied from the hunger?

    just out of curiousity, what actually happens if you do give in to temptation and break the fast?

    Not feeling hungry at moment. It's quite easy really, if you manage time right. I wouldn't recommend sleeping at all time and again I wouldn't recommend overeating as both of these things can make you feeling full and tired even when you wake up for Zuhr and the tarawih prayers.

    Only hardest part about Ramadan is tarawih prayers.

    I put a fan next to me, and read. I wouldn't say that I feel hungry it's just that I am thirsty and need water because it's like 35 degrees out here!

    It's pretty easy for me. Just reading books, praying and playing Xbox now and then.

    If you break your fast without any legitimate reasons, I think you have fast 60 days to make up for it.

    they'll have to repeat their fast again after the month of ramdhaan, any day they want.

    You do that one for sixty days... So basically if you keep on breaking them and you have fasts left after you die... Then you are probably going to be punished... But I'm not to judge...
