إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِي

My Lord I repent to you for anything I uttered concerning You for which I have no knowledge of. Indeed You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful

Hello,

as a side note, this is my personal view on fasting.

When I was fasting in a muslim country, during the day and even when sun set approaches I use to avoid going out.  The reason was because many people are let say quiet nervous, and a fight in the street was not so unusual.

This is in fact something quiet natural and scientificaly demonstrated

Now you might say, ok but fasting is to control yourself etc etc...these people are just bad people.

OK Right but I can tell you sel control is not for every one!


Another side effect.

In European countries now a days I read an article saying that more and more young children in basic schools (from 6-12) come at school fasting!

This is again another misuse of fasting.

Now let me re-phrase my simple question:

Why do you abstain from eating and drinking?  What is the goal, what does it bring to you?

Peace
No hate just love
