with ramadan coming up for muslims, lemme just point out a few things for non-muslims:

-ramadan is a fast of no food and water from sunrise to sunset.

-typically after the sun sets people have a big meal together and pray together.

-“not even water?!” is the biggest question that non muslims ask— yes, not even water

-the fast lasts 30 days and ends with a holiday called Eid

-ramadan is done for many reasons. some of them include teaching muslims humility, empathizing with the poor who can’t afford to eat, and following one of the 5 pillars of islam

-there are many traditional foods eaten in ramadan. the most common is dates, because that’s what the prophet used to eat after he broke his fast

-ramadan is a holy month that isn’t just about fasting from food and water. it’s about fasting from sins and using the time to get closer to god.

-food and water aren’t the only things that break your fast— the fast can be broken by kissing, intimacy, telling lies, or sinning in general.

-although fasting is a common thing among all sects of islam, each sect does it a little differently

-a lot of people think fasting is bad for your health. there’s a rule set by god in the holy book that specifically says that if fasting is harming your health, then it is forbidden to fast. for example, a person with diabetes would be harmed by not eating all day, so it’s forbidden to fast for them. god’s intention is to harm no one.

-if you see a muslim eating during the day, please don’t point it out. it’s rude. there are many reasons why people don’t/can’t fast, including health problems, pregnancy, and menstruation.

and lastly, don’t be an asshole to people who are/aren’t fasting.

Jaxon(Jax)[They-He] | 4642 comments I do think it's considerate that they fast to be in the shoes of poor people who cant get those stuff cuz then it helps you understand what others might go through

thanks for the ramadan post!

some kid came into my work yesterday (i'm a cashier at a chinese restaurant) and my coworker was like totally chilling with this kid and i lowkey thought "do i have no maternal instincts?? why can't i mesh with this kid like j (my coworker) is?"

like wow angel, u just have to take their order, not have an existential crisis. honestly tho, it's prolly bc of childhood trauma heehee


message 45456: by [deleted user] (new)

also for fasting, i didnt fast this yr on yom kippur bc i was on my period and if i dont eat on my period i get nasty, so i bet g-d understands u know? fasting is different for every person-- your relationship with g-d is in your heart, not your stomach

so i used doordash to get food from this new thai place that opened up near my house, and lemme tell yall, it was AMAZING. i got pad thai w medium spice extra tofu and it was sooo good (but way spicy!). i’m really glad bc the other thai place downtown kind of sucks and you can never find good parking


message 45480: by jay, rip (new)

jay (jaysonstreet) | 35349 comments Mod
my only thing was that the spice levels at this thai place are way different than usual, because i usually get medium and it’s not even that hot, but i got medium today and my mouth was on fire

i know this is really out of character but i honestly prefer the 7am-3pm shift over the 3pm-10pm shift. like we don’t open till 9 so we get 2 hours of shelving alone where we can basically do and say whatever, and then we get to sit through warmups in the cafe and bookseller news for the day. at night you have to recover the shelves and help people all day.
