It became compulsory a couple of years after the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Days used to be shorter :P

Here in Iran people believe that even fasting was easier before Ahmadinejad took over :howler:

Cheats :lol:

Ah I hadn't watched that video. Luka Bonacic had the same impression. He left Al-Nasr and came back to Iran.

It's very likely. Shi'as are generally less strict and radical than Sunnis. As a non-Muslim, you'd feel yourself much closer to them compared to the Sunnis.

People are nicer in Iran, that's why :D

Everyone is supposed to be fasting in Iran. Swimming pools, restaurants and coffee-shops are all closed before iftar and league games are played after iftar even though most of players don't fast. Zlatko Kranjcar while being Persepolis coach was asked why he didn't play Hawar Mulla Mohammed...

Steel Azin FC (a team in the Iranian league) has sacked Ali Karimi because of drinking water while training :lol:

He didn't claim that he wanted to be a Muslim. I thought Fred was talking about whether Alen can fast or not.

Why can't he follow all the rules (apart from refraining from eating and drinking) in case he wants to? :D

Why? :shifty:

Fasting is probably not as dangerous for body as smoking is but it is not healthy. No nutrition expert would deny that. Starving your body for 14 hours and then suddenly filling it with high calorie foods is in no way healthy but it won't kill you either. I don't get the fuss about it to be...

Ramezan Mobarak :stuckup:

A mixture of belief, motivation, delusion and obligation helps them.

When I first read it, I thought he meant that fasting is good for your health but the fasting of Muslims is not. What about you Salman? Why do you fast?

Btw, a questions for all Muslims here. Why do you fast? Simply as something your religion has ordered to? I don't want to start a war here. This question crossed my mind because of what Sadomin asked me. Now that I'm thinking about the time I was fasting, I can't remember why exactly I was...

Apparently :D It's more sensible not to starve yourself and then go to hell though, eh? :D None. I was fasting some years ago. Did I have to do it or did I want it myself I'm not sure. A little bit of both I assume.

Indeed. It's really hard in summers. I loved the final 30 minutes to the Iftar the most. I felt myself in the middle of the paradise. But 30 minutes after the Iftar, it was all hell around me :D
