My vacation will be around the same time as Ramadan. Am I excluded from fasting?

I am not fasting this year. The sun goes down at 11 pm and I sleep around that time as I naturally get tired at that time and wake up well after sunrise. Am I supposed to starve myself? I'll be dead by the third day.

jk

It's a challenge here in london folks, Fajr commences at 3:16, so Suhr should be around 2:50? which means i should sleep around 21:00-22:00 every day.

Iftar is 21:09, so thats 3:16 AM- 21:09 , Thats 18 Hours , 4 more hours and it'll be a day

Maghrib is after 8:30 PM here... and Fajr is like 4:20 AM

that is not bad, here(LONDON) Maghrib is 9:20 PM and Fajr is 3:00 AM

we will be fasting for 18 hours more or less. Starvation is good, I need to lose some weight anyway, I plan on doing a lot of weight lifting too.

Starving for 18 hours will destroy your metabolism after ramadhan skinny of chubby when you run you won't survive a minute because low energy due to the body eating the muscle while you were fasting , it's all a sacrifice due to Allah

here fajir now is 3:20 am but maghrip is 6:30 pm.

fasting is very easy if you got use to it. what makes difficult for you is , many of you just fast ramadan. i fast every monday and thrusday around the year since i was kid. so i laugh grown people complaining about 30 day a year!! war you need to prepare for your self whole round year.

I won't run because that makes me really thirst, I run like 10 Km every other day and I burn 100 calories on the bike machine just to warm up. After that I lift weights.

during ramadan I will only lift weights, it won't make make me thirsty just hungry. and my body won't eat it self, I will have good suxuur and I will eat the essentials for afuur.


two meals a day is actually not a death sentence, its just 1 meal less.

I plan to also pray taraweeh in a non-Pakistani masjid, so I get to stand up longer, those pakis read Quraan in turbo so I will go to a Somali or Arab Masjid instead.

Hyperactive,

Are you in the Middle East/Africa? Ramadan is easy for some people like those who fast in this region of the world. First, the time to break the fast is so early in that part of the world. Secondly, people who live in Middle East/Africa have shorter working hours during Ramadan (for Muslims). Thirdly, the folk living in ME/Africa get to take 2 hour naps right after eating lunch.

@ Hyper Mashallah bro, i try to fast at mondays and thursdays here and there its Sunnah
Lakin Wallahi ramadhan in dowlad muslilm is much more easier, the enviroment and vibrant people are all fasting, here in london is a big challenge, you can't go outside because women are half-naked, the heat is unbearable and its 18 HOURS!!! Lakin i'll survive it, its a bigger reward if you strive.


@ Adali

Lool turbo quran reciters , i got a Masajid near me that the Imam is a pakistani but the quran reciter is arabic , this ramadan will be a challenge, spiritually and mentally.

abubakar, i agree you guy have more difficulties but inshallah you will get more ajer for it. ko raaheyso bro and enjoy it knowing you get more you struggle more ajer you got.

invisible, lol why waste my ramadan work and ajir in napping? are you kidding me?
