80 lashes and then directly to the hell
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
Do you have to fast or do you want to 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 practicing Islam instructions. I wasn't directly obliged to practice them but I'd been growing in a Muslim society, in a Muslim school and a Muslim family and I was doing all I'd been told to do. Everyone was fasting, so I was naturally fasting too in Ramazan. Since I'd been grown up with all those practices, I had them stiff in my mind as my beliefs which means that I kinda wanted to fast. But on the other hand, had I been born in a non-Muslim country/family, I wouldn't have been a Muslim nor would I've practiced Islam and I would have probably had some other instructions to follow. So I also had to fast to some extent.
Now I want to know your answers. Do you usually look for reasons for what your religion has ordered to? Do you think there MUST be reasons for them at all? If so, do you follow those instructions only if you find the reasons for them? Or you just follow them believing that "Islam doesn't order to something which is not good for you"?

I can only tell you only what i know.....Fasting is healthy there is no doubt about it. It is medically proven. But for how long do you fast now that is something else. There was this dude in my high school, who was the only muslim there. Every single year, in those 4 years of high school, when it was Ramazan time, he would pass out, he would feel very week, he was skinny and when we talked he said to me "I cant wait for Ramazan to finish". Maybe he was doing it the wrong way (which i seriously doubt) but i think that the muslim fast is not healthy at all, its actually quite bad for them. Now again, ill repeat it, from what i have seen and heard (from muslims).
