Ramadan Mubarak !!!!!

Just wanted give a Congratulations its Ramadan ( Ramadan Mubarak ) To any of my fellow Muslims on ATS and to anyone else who knows about this holy month

And to those who don't know.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is a time of fasting for the Islamic people. Each day during this month, Muslims all over the world abstain from eating, drinking, smoking, as well as participating in anything that is ill-natured or excessive; from dawn until the sun sets. Fasting is intended to educate the Muslim in spirituality, humility and patience. It is a time to cleanse the soul, focus attention on God, and put into practice selflessness. Ramadan is a time for Muslims to fast for the sake of God and to put forward more prayer than is customary.
Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of the Islam religion, and one of the main types of Islamic worship. Restraint from everyday enjoyment and curbing wicked intentions and cravings are considered as an act of compliance and obedience to God, as well as amends for sins, faults, and mistakes. Ramadan is also called Ramazan. During Ramadan, Muslims request forgiveness for sins in the past, pray for direction and assistance in abstaining from everyday troubles, and endeavor to cleanse themselves through self-control and great acts of faith.

Salam Alikume to All !

I never would have guessed you are Muslim

You sound normal

Media tells me Muslims are either ISIS or Alqaida or those seemingly civilised Saudis.

Thank you I think. What does your reply to me translate to. By the way I really love your avatar. It took me by surprise.

Oh man I hear you ! Most people have the same reaction .

Ill give you a quick BIO , Born raised country . started studying religion , Prior to the study's I had become an Atheist , Raised Christian my whole life , Hated Muslims , Almost went into war to kill Muslims , brother went ..... ( we dont really talk about that much ) . I was curious about the "enemy" (muslims ) . As my study continued I Had the realization that the MSM and other Non Muslims had brainwashed me lol .99.9 percent of what i had read and heard about Islam was ,
twisted and not true . fast forward and here I am , I have learned love ,compassion , peace , honor , and most of all I found ALLAH ( allah means god in arabic ).


Now The one thing the news is correct about is "terrorist" they are real and they act under the banner of Islam ,however their actions are so far removed from the teachings of Islam that cant even been considered Muslim .

Example , KKK does not represent Christianity , thus ISIS does not represent Islam .

Sadly though the MSM does not make a distinction we seem to be grouped together, thus giving Islam a barbaric image .


And the rest is History

Funny you say that , Because I was in Alaska for 6 months during ramadan , ( when i was new to Islam ) I tried fasting the long days and I failed , Then i found out that if you are in a place where the sun does not set , you fast accordingly . So you break your fast after magrib , even if the sun is still out .
