Muslims in America fasting Ramadan

For more information a bout islam please visit: www.islamreligion.com www.islam-guide.com or www.shareislam.com ******************************************* “American Ramadan” www.americanramadan.com “American Ramadan” is a bold and exciting new look at the American Muslim experience, produced and masterfully captured by first time director Naeem Randhawa. “American Ramadan” explores and reveals the holiest of rituals, shared by the Abrahamic traditions, but practiced by more — the act of Fasting for Faith. As diverse as the fabric of America, from the divorced Dad, the student coping with school, work and family life, the convert to Islam and his Indonesian wife, an interracial couple, and the wife of an incarcerated businessman — the reality of life is vividly and emotionally witnessed on film. Filmed on location in Dallas and Los Angeles, the feature length documentary follows the lives of five American Muslim families during the Month of Ramadan in 2005. Contrast to the media stereotypes of Muslims as sheltered and outcasts — the film illustrates the everyday struggles, fears, hopes and challenges that everyone, Muslim or not, faces everyday. From the everyday busy lives of the families, the film follows the individuals as they strive to maintain their rhythm, and find time for worship and faith through the act of Fasting and prayer. The intimate and personal stories of the five families are complemented with scholars from the three Abrahamic faiths. Rabbi Robert

    Hi Simon,
    As buyakisa already answered you. The rules are quite simple. If you are fasting nothing is allowed to go inside your body from sun rise to sun set. This is the decision the person needs to make and he/she will need to stick to it. For your other questions. The prophet Muhammed P.B.U.H as clearly said to haste to wards breaking fast and to delay starting fast. He also said that you eat until you can make distinction between a black thread and a white one.

    I agree with the rabbi from this video – here in America, people, of other cultures and religions, can come together, talk, and live as people rather then as animals. I think if more people here in America learned about Islam and know what’s really about, people would be less hostile towards Muslims.

    Yes we are much more respected in America than in Europe (judging by the people whom I’ve met online)

    You cannot chew gum. you still fast during the ecplise, its not a matter of it being dark ot light, its about timing (i.e. time of sunrise to time of sunset). I hope this has helped. for other question, i cannot asnwer it well enough,hence u can ask someone more knowledgable and than can explain better then I.

    If you are really interested in Islam or if you are already Muslim and would like to learn a lot more, search (on Youtube) free masons war against Islam (it has 6 parts to it). If is very interesting to watch and will teach you a lot about Islam and how it is the only religion that is against the free masons (if you don’t know what free masons is, watch this video. Very good and interesting) Let other people know about it as well, Im sure theyll enjoy it as well

    Islam is a magnificent religion, reflecting excellent morals and a true way of life. thats why thousands of people are constantly converting to Islam every day!! if you search deep into this true religion, you will realise it has all the answers to every aspect of life.. thats what makes it a perfect faith!! And Muslims are not trying to control america coz of its power, infact muslims dont need power!! they are just trying to spread the true faith to all around the globe!!
