Although it is the best time of year, I stay away from most Muslims at that time
There is a good reason for that and your negative opinion is no worry of mine
Every year it’s the same thing
“Bro, are you fasting today?”
“I’m so tired and thirsty today”
“How many hours are you fasting in your country? “
Who cares if you’re hungry or thirsty?
Why is it even a topic of conversation how many hours you are fasting?
Isn’t it between you and Allah?
In Spartan culture, boys at the age of 7 would participate in what is called Agoge
Part of that was a 10 mile run barefooted where they would run with a mouthful of water, but could not drink any of it until they reached their 10th mile
Then they would spit it out…
Alexander, the great crossed a desert with his vast army and did not find water
Miraculously, one of his soldiers found some water and presented a helmet full of water to Alexander
In front of his army, Alexander poured the water into the sand and said, we will not be defeated by thirst or water
His men roared out cheers and went on to conquer the world
When we read about the men around Rasululah ﷺ they were not weak men
They did not ask each other if they were fasting or how many hours they were fasting
They did not complain of thirst or hunger
Why does it shock you when Muslim women ask where are all the real Muslim men at?
It’s a valid question…
The spirit and focus of Ramadan should live in a man’s heart and mind year round
