I used to be an Islamophobe in the past, but in college, Allah made me come across a guy who would completely change my views on Islam and show me how beautiful Islam actually is and nice the Muslims are. I converted to Islam a year ago and it was the best decision of my life. Today I am happily married to that guy and we are really enjoying our married life. His family have recently shifted here from Bangladesh too. I can't wait to spend my first Ramadan ever with him and his family. I will always be thankful to Allah for showing me the correct path. Alhamdulillah. Lots of love to my Muslim brothers and sisters ❤️🇺🇲🇧🇩❤️
Alhamdulillah
الحمد لله.
May Allah bless you and your family...ameen ya Allah. May Allah keep your faith strong forever...ameen ya Allah.
Mansha'allaah sister allah bless you you and your love
Assalamualaikum sister! Lots of love from Bangladesh ❤️
I'm so happy for you sis, Alhamdulilah
I to converted to Islam five years ago . I have never looked back . Thank you ALLAH for guiding my heart
Mashallah I am really happy for you ❤️❤️ all the muslims and reverts around the world.. allahs guidance made is stay
Masha Allah
Mashallha
SubhanAllah
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m a Muslim and honestly the fasting gets easier as you progress it’s just the first few days and the reason why you feel weak and even get headaches when you fast is because you’re body is releasing all the stored toxins and your immune system cells are regenerating but once you keep up your fast you feel better! So even if you’re not Muslim, fasting even outside of Ramadan from time to time has incredible effects on the body and I highly encourage you all to look at the scientific and medical research regarding fasting and its amazing benefits on the human body. This video was beautiful to see! There’s something precious about people experiencing each other’s culture and beliefs with honesty and respect.
Fasted my first Ramadan this year (2021) and converted to Islam shortly after! I hope you will join us for a full month next year brother, your words about feeling gratitude in moments of pain were profound.
Hello dear, I love you.
Alhamdulillah! May Allah bless u always.
Allah bless you ❤ i love you
How's your ramadan going in 2022?
Welcome to Islam
"When i feel pain and hunger i feel gratitude" that line sums up beautifully about Ramadan to feel the pain of less fortunate and appreciate life.
Stop spreading false information. That may be one of the wisdoms of fasting in Ramadan but the actual purpose is to attain taqwa as it is explicitly mentioned in the Quran,
@@QMR02 it isn’t “ false information”
gratitude leads to taqwa. what you are saying and i am saying is similar. start having some patience to understand other people's point of view rather than calling people out for something so light.
Pindi ay bawa g
@@QMR02 bro you can say it better than this he wasn’t wrong you can say iwanna add something not stop spreading false information because its not fales maybe its not the only reason but its not false The acts of worship generally make you closer to Allah and better person ,and idont mean any Offense to u or anything we all wanna same thing
"when I feel pain I feel gratitude" - that was powerful man
That's exactly what Ramadan is all about when you feel the pain and gratitude you gave charity with good heart..i didn't expect him to understand this as many ppl try fasting as an excuse for a diet plan and overacting.. I'm just so grateful he was so respectful 💜
@@sofiya851 yes what explained is exactly why ramadan was made for us muslims im so grateful Kobe muslim
respect !
powerful man i am 10 and fasted 26 days
That's the spirit of Ramadan.
I am Muslim and seeing this video made me so happy. I feel the respect in this video and this made me respect you sooo much more. Thank you so much.
One of the most beautiful benefits of fasting in Ramadan is that it makes you feel the pain of hunger felt by those who do not have anything to eat
"I am in a very privileged position where i can be annoyed"
Spot on mate
i am super glad that you went through this experience. Much Respect brother
Much Love from Oman
It was so beautiful... may Allah give him hidayat
After fasting for 17-18 hours and then getting "full" in less than 10 minutes makes u realise that pleasure of this life is really really short...
Wat?
You're right.
Not true. For fasting itself brings pleasure. Infact after ten to fifteen days of fasting one finds stuffing food in iftar is a useless exercise
It makes feel the suffering of those who do not have food to eat. Imagine that someone 's life is everyday like that😢
That is why we also have to give charity in Ramadan
Yes, i hate it when I felt this. It’s like I have wasted my time trying to achieve these fleeting pleasures
Please everyone imagine our brothers in Palestine 🇵🇸 are fasting this holy month and doing thier prayers and were attacked while praying and some families where kicked out of their homes please let this comment reach to everyone to know what is happening to our brothers and sisters in Jerusalem #savesheikhjarrah 🙏🏽
TAKBIRRR,ALLAHU AKBAR ✊🇵🇸
Ya rab
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Palestine should kick out Hamas so Israel is no longer being attacked.
I remember doing a 2.4km run during Ramadan at school, it's insane but I'm always reminded that there are people who don't even have the luxury to enjoy iftar. Ramadan is not only about fasting, it's about not complaining about anything and being grateful with what you already have.
"fasting for 15 hours and being full after 10 minutes is a prime example how temporary the pleasure of this world are and how small this life actually is" - i saw this online and i thought you'd appreciate this
Thats rightt
For real , i be fasting and I drink some juice and I feel full
Really good quote and lots to think about with that one. Thanks for sharing.
You're all probably thinking that Muslims think of this as a hassle or that we're happy it's over but we genuinely love Ramadan, it's our favorite month of the year and it's such a happy time in our community it really cleanses our souls
It's a bliss if you're on a break from school/work/university. There are no other set of days that compare to the peacefulness of this month, if spent the right way. Me being a Pakistani Muslim absolutely crave this month each year .. but the university shite takes a toll , they literally schedule our mids in Ramadan. Other than this year , university always interferes with your prayers
I'm waiting patiently for ramadan to come lol it just feels so homey and I'm calm in it.it's amazing
Well said, there is something about Ramadan I can even describe, it is a pure joy and peace alhumdulla ❤️
Yea true, food taste 10x more delicious than before. When Ramdhan is over, i'm bit having breakfast for 1 week cuz i'm but hungry at all lol
I just literally love this month
we do this not only on Ramadan. some do it on a regular basis, twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays. it's a celebration of your strength and health if you can do it, to give up essentials to feel what your fellow less fortunate humans go through. I feel so proud that I do this so easily every year thanks to Allah.
One thing which i learned from my first fast, was to never do or display anything infront of a person who does not have that blessing or cant do certain acts. I vividly remember my miserable feeling being hungry and got more desperate when my sister ate infront of me. Dnt not showoff or display your blessing infront of people who are at lower level than you. That was the lesson i learned.
u got it right Sister
Ya bragging and showing off is not allowed in Islam!
I have seen
some Muslims in Ramadan don't even sleep the whole night
they pray salat called tahajud
they really love their god and their religion
Yeah we do
Edit:i mean most of us do
Yeah ofc love Allah
Hi, I'm currently raising money for Islamic Relief's Yemen Emergency Appeal, through fasting similarly to Ramadan. I have a justgiving page, as well as videos with facts and figures about the Yemen Crisis, as well as fasting updates. I'm trying to raise awareness, so please check this out if you can! Thanks so much
@MAGNE HARALD JOHANSEN I'm a Muslim and I used to go work at 7 am during Ramadan and sleep at 2 am, so you are just lier
@MAGNE HARALD JOHANSEN all your claims have to be backup with evidence or you just a lier
Refreshing to see Islam portrayed in a positive light to a UK audience, hopefully this video can spread some positivity through your viewers
@@hrxzehnder3887 all religions have contributed to wars dont target one out and the majority of religious people are innocent anyway and have no say in minorities or people with power representing their religion badly. That goes for all religions
Edit: obviously not the religion directly contributing but people fighting over religion
Hrxze Hnder that’s bull shit u can’t hold any one accountable for the damage caused by others that’s not fair u just sound like a closet racist
@@hrxzehnder3887 There is always some random guy that has to ruin the positive vibes smh
Hrxze Hnder causing pain isnt an islamic act. Whoever does it not following the teachings of islam. Every religion and every sect have extremists. Joseph stalin wasnt muslim too but he killed millions of people.
notice how hrxze hasn't replied to anyone comments
Ps its cause hes a dumbass
I am not religious and am from majority of Christian country but Ramadan starts soon and wanna try at least a week too. I spoke to local Muslims and few other people who do Ramadan fasting, they went through incredible results.
“Now when I feel pain.. I feel gratitude” 🔥🔥 ❤️
When you get used to fast, you will realize that the toughest test in ramadhan is not hungry and thirsty but bad habit like gossipy, talk dirty, lied, etc
Playing among us 😝
so true
so very true, supressing ourselves from lust would be the hardest of all!
Oh yeah just realized playing Among Us is considered bad because you technically accuse and lie.
soooo true!!
''At no stage there is any intention to disrespect Islam or Ramadan''
Dude, I'm a muslim, I'm currently fasting and you made my day! It's so nice to see someone that shows interest in Islam and Ramadan. I have colleagues who can't even pronounce Ramadan .
May Allah swt bless your soul!
Ramadan mubarak my bro 🙏❤️
Ramadan Mubarak brother 😀
Ameen
May Allah bless you
Assalamu Alaikum
Ramadan Mubarak
I am happy u r a Muslim like me and other people
This is a special month for us Muslims I am also happy that this man understands what Ramadan is as a friend of mine (9 years old) doesn't know what fasting or Ramadan is and he's the smartest boy in my class
"When I feel pain, I feel grateful" that was beautiful. And it's awesome that you were sincere about feeling annoyed and not be ashamed of then say "now I know that's a privilege"
Don't know why but this video brought me tears. You're a nice person. Good crowd, family and friends. Congrats :)
The hardest part of fasting isn't the lack of food, it's the breakdown of bad habits such as cussing, lying, cheating, arguing, looking down on people, backbiting.
It’s true that’s the hardest part even yelling
cheating i dont know abt that 1 dude, thats all u
That’s so hard to do
wow humanity is f..ed
👍
“I’m privileged to feel annoyed at not being able to eat or drink, for some that pain is the norm” wow! That’s deep, amazing how a non muslim just made me understand my religion better.
Like that's the entire point of Ramadan. To enlist empathy in you for those less fortunate than you.
They literally tell you this every Ramadan lmao
Brothers and sisters , it is a part of the Ramadan to understand less fortune people but the more important thing is to understand that Allah blessing us with countles thing that we sometimes forget. Such as food, water and the relation with the ones that we love. And also to realize in reality this tings are not belong us.

Exactly, he summed up the whole point of ramadan
Eid Al-Fitr is the day of joy and sadness, we all happy because it's the day when we are celebrating the joy after 30 days of fasting, and we sad because we have to say goodbye to Ramadan, the most graceful month
12:35 Ma guy said " now when I feel pain I feel gratitude" & then "it's mad in it " loved that particular part of the video lol
I converted to Islam a few years ago. This is my 4th year celebrating Ramadan. As a new convert, it is easier to fast when you’re surrounded by Muslims to help guide you. My non Muslim family and friends don’t understand what we go through during this Holy Month.
You are great, I can’t imagine that being a Muslim between a non-Muslim family, you are in God better than many Muslims who are already Muslims,
Congratulations! 🥰🎉
Indeed it is very important that the Muslims look out for and support the New Muslims not just by educating them, but financially also if it is needed and it can be afforded. How shallow are we if we think we just need to help them enter the faith, and that's where the help stops.
Welcome to the Religion, may God keep you firm upon it always, and may He delight you by guiding your family also.
MashAllah may Allah swt guide you🤲🏽✨
Already been given to us from birth 👌🏽🙏🏽
My respect for you lot has skyrocketed even more. I still bloody struggle after fasting for about 7 years. I salute you.
You just swore
@@thelambsauce4146 bloody is not a swear word you snowflake
What an overreaction it’s not even that hard
Bismillah
Anas Ali kind of a joke
New to this channel today. Huge amount of respect for you doing Ramadan! May G-d guide and bless us.
I always feel calm during ramadan. I lost my father to covid in 2020 just before ramadan. Even though it was the most saddest thing that happened, focussing ons spiritualty and prayer in ramadan(and not on food and other worldy affairs) it helped with grieving and accepting we are all here in this eart for a very short time
This was an incredible, poignant reflection on another culture's practices; incredibly, respectfully portrayed and carried out. This paints TH-cam and some of the people on TH-cam in a very good light and reminds us that not everyone on the platform is a Logan Paul or an Alfie Dayes, just looking for clout with no substance to their videos. Well done for highlighting the struggles of another culture in a remarkable way. You guys are such an underrated channel; you deserve 1 Million Subs. Keep up the fantastic work! "Remember, go wandering, you never know what you might find"
Wholesome comment. I agree :)
ive never read a more gay comment
That’s such a lovely comment keep spreading positivity and the world will be a better place.
i agree with everything so you say except i enjoy logan’s videos
Sciphere I’ve never herd such an ignorant comment!
Get out of here!
I'm a Christian but I really appreciate Ramadan it's a great way to feel more humain much love to you my Muslim friends
Respect and I invite you to search more about islam and watch a person called shamsy in speakers corner
And also my respect to read my advice
Sorry my english language is so bad
Appreciated 🙂
@Blejka naM2 let's just talk about it . Ramadan is about becoming a better person u fast because to feel how the poor feel every life is important and it is also a month in which u can try to decrease the level of bad words and bad habits and getting close to god .
@@suhelanwar1154 no words can change person like this they are just blind and dont see anything good out of it
Hi friend, I used to be a Christian once upon a time. If you'll give me 2 minutes I can prove that Jesus (peace be upon him) was in fact a prophet of God
God is immortal, uncreated, all powerful and all knowing and Jesus (peace be upon him) was none of those things
Jesus (peace be upon him) was created by God and was born to Mary (peace be upon her) after God willed it therefore he was born and created (you can't have an uncreated created being)
Jesus (peace be upon him) could be harmed and even killed and Jesus (peace be upon him) begged God to not let him die... someone unhurtable and unkillable doesn't ask to be saved
An all powerful being doesn't need nor can be strengthened
‘An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him - in the garden of Gethsemane’ (Luke 22:43)
‘Then the devil left him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him’ (Mark. 1:13)
Jesus was not all knowing as God is
But God is All Wise & does not need to learn: Jesus grew in wisdom, but God is all wise ‘Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.’ (Psalms 147:5)
‘And Jesus increased in wisdom.’ (Luke 2:52)
And of course Jesus (peace be upon him) never claimed divinity and is outright shown to be a servant of God
The disciples prayed to God just as they were commanded by Jesus in Luke 11:2, and considered Jesus to be God’s servant.
‘they raised their voices together in prayer to God. ‘Sovereign Lord,’ they said, ‘you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.’ (Acts 4:24)
‘your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.’ (Acts 4:27)
‘of Your holy servant Jesus.’ (Acts 4:30)
The Bible says that Jesus was God’s servant
‘Behold, My servant, whom I have chosen, in whom My soul is well pleased.’ (Matt 12:18)
And the holy Quran just further proves it
‘I am indeed a servant of God.’ (Quran 19:30)
Since Jesus is God’s servant, Jesus can not be God but a prophet of God
I just stumbled on your video bruv and am glad I did. Respect to you for trying and appreciating the what others less fortunate go through every day of their lives. I salute u and this is what humanity is all about. We can be different races, beliefs and cultures and still coexist in respect and humanity. Respect to you
I ain't a Muslim or anything but I could not do this for even a week let alone a whole month so all of you muslims that are reading this I salute you
Thanks
Thanks
thank you so much, i love doing it because it makes me appreciate what i have so much more
I don’t know if I’m downplaying it but the first two days are the hardest then it just becomes a norm, hunger is easier to forget about, the third is harder.
Love❤️
Respect my man I am a revert since 30yrs fasting has so many benefits as you now know! Islam saved me from chaos 😉
what a great benefit you counted .....
Alhamdulillah 🤲🏼😊
@Mojo Techno if you are being toxic in a reply section then you're not doing it right
If you're fasting or doing intermittent fasting, the regular food tastes so good, when you finally get to eat but remember to not eat too much.
We are all generally eating too much, which is not the healthiest thing to do to our bodies. Don't believe me, watch the movie "The Martian" featuring Matt Damon and you'll see that even a little bit of food can give you the energy required to go through your normal day (of course that is only a movie)
@Mojo Technowhat an earth are you referring to be clear will you and explain in more detail. PS if someone is disrespectful and toxic be prepared for the same or worse back and not cry when it happens!
Thank you for making a video like this. Im fasting since Im 8 and it has been the best month of the year every time alhamdulillah. And since its a habit that we get used to I wished that I can re-live the first time I fasted, the joy and the excitement. When a kid is fasting for the first time it is believed that making her/him happy is also a pray. I remember my uncles were carryig me n their shoulders (I must say I was a chubby girl )my whole family got me special ifthar food... good memories thanks to Allah
As a muslim I feel like I can say this on behalf of all of us: We are very grateful that non-muslims are enjoying our culture and what we do
Edit: Ok, I get it, nerds. Stop correcting this small tiny mistake
You never share your cultures, only religion.
@@fionnaaragazza7777 u never see the world,only look
It is not culture. It is religion.
@@skullsforerlikkhansthrone9306 its the culture of the religion
Its not a cultural thing, its part of religion-
What I love (as a muslim) about your fasting experiment is that u not only focus on not eating and drinking, but also about the other REALLY IMPORTANT parts of Ramadan.. great job!
Eid mubarak kinda late but better late than never and yh i agree
The fact that they do so much research really shows that they aren’t like most TH-camrs. They really want to walk away from their challenges with some substantial life lessons rather than a quick buck from TH-cam. Hats off to these guys!
Agreed, that’s why they are my favourite
Amazing video. Lots of respect akd love. Thank you for your open-minded approach
Well done, you’re a warrior. Really enjoyed watching your video taking on a perspective of a non-Muslim fasting. The more you do it the more you learn to respect your health and body. The aim is to try to eat healthy too. We usually break fast in our household with dates, water and then fruits- pray Maghreb and then have our dinner. I feel the praying/meditation is the most important part of the fast. I also like to squeeze in 5km runs just before iftaar. It is all possible 😊
Great work for doing it 👏🏽
This video made me cry. Such a wholesome and respectful video that really has made me realise, as a Muslim, that there really is good in humanity. Who would have thought a non Muslim would inspire me to be a better Muslim myself. Much love brother ❤️ definitely subbing after this
Crying at a boring TH-cam video......?

@@noelminboel5158 If it's boring, the saddest thing is that you watched it and took the time to comment. What a shame!
Funny thing about Ramadan is, when you get used to it, food fills you up with a few bites, I can eat 3 dates and a cup of water and it will feel like I've eaten a 3 course meal
There is blessing in the food
@@al-ameenconteh2397 True alhamdulilah
Same💜💛💚
it's not completely good because you still need nutrition and calories, if you get filled up easily it'll be harder to meet those needs
3 dates is 300 + calories, as good as full meal, just fyi
Your gratitude pulled me out of a bad headspace of today and reminded me to be grateful as well, thank you so much.
You know you gonna eat at sundown, while some people out there don't know you when they will have food
I am a Muslim and I luv the way he is respecting Islam
Same
you arent no one ( your name ), you are a muslim, you are one of a billion and a half on earth, you dont know your true self untill you work hard to find your true self remember, life is too short to complain, just start running and THEN you will find your destination

@Assman Butt you don’t have to change your name lmao
@Assman Butt maybe he was born Muslims, left Islam and then came back, bcoz if he was a diff religion how can his last name be musa ???
I fasted for one week last year, for 2 weeks this year, and hope to do the full month next year. It was an enlightening and purifying time. That is a time when I truly feel my world view take a shift.
I hope you’re doing it rn 😊
What a genuinely sincere guy. May God continue to guide you. Ps try low carb with fasting - avoids your crashes and weakness/tiredness and stops you overeating too.
Correction:Islam does not ask us to donate 2.5% of our income.
Islam asks us to donate 2.5% of your pure savings (excluding all necessities of food, trade, travel etc) which have been saved for over the period of a year.
Reasonable enough?
Yes that is zakat, but ye u can give charity once a month if u want to
Yep. We only give compulsory charity(zakaat) on the excess money we have saved over a certain limit of we have had it for over a year initially
The voluntary charity you can give every moment of your life.
It's recommended to give as much as you can
Even a smile is a charity
Besides in ramadan we do zakat al-fitr and it is different, zakat is when a year past with savings passed specific amount, zakat al-fitr is to donate food to poor people before eid and you should do a meal for each person in your household, even the baby in the mom's tummy counts.
Its a taxe on riche people who can aford to have an excedent over a year and over about 3000 dollars

This is sweet❤️ my 9 year old is fasting now. Going to school going for a walk an hour before iftar. Took me 2 years to get him to cope with fasting as the spiritual journey it is and not at all as a deprivation of food and drink.
What an awful parent you are. Children should not endure that. As it is a deprivation of food and drink.
@@fionnaaragazza7777 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's only 12 hours and read about the benefits of dry fasting on the human body and the regeneration of cells. Plus he's my child and I'm much more interested in his well being in this life and the next than you for sure
I started fast Ramadan when I was 7 years old, nobody forced me, I just wanted to, so I remember I completed 14 days fasting out of 30, then from age 8 till now I’m 36 years old I fast the whole month of Ramadan, the most beautiful and peaceful month of the year, break our routine by eating when and as much we want and forget there are humans in the world feel hungry all the time. Good for your son to be strongly spiritual when he get older
Just beautiful and the world need more people like you to understand Islam better.
It's really heartwarming to see you apprecating and teaching people about another religion when you are not even muslim. You were very respectful and thoughtful for trying to understand the meaning behind fasting. Thank you
Its great to witness in a unbiased way.
Hope you learn lots and enjoy plenty of life you wouldn't necessarily realise ;)
@@nervesconcord Islam does not teach to do those things to people. It teaches not to engage in certain acts, but it does NOT teach us to judge and hurt others or those who do, especially in such extreme ways. The people who are doing these tortorous things are doing it of their own accord, due to their own fear and hatred, and labelling it as done for religion and Islam and God. Our role model is the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and he would never have done those things. Most of us know that the only judge is God and that we are not therefore we should not punish anyone or torture anyone for doing what they please.
@@nervesconcord I think the dumbest thing a person can do is to critisize a religion by its members. Islam's guide is Kuran and if you want to judge the religion judge it by what is written in that book. And believe me "throw gay men from roofs" is not written in it lol. People in middle-east can be really ignorant. Since I have seen people like that I know for a fact that they are not real muslims because they do not read Kuran and they see religion as tradition, they learn Islam from their elderly(who twisted Islam's ideologies at first place) thats why they do such ignorant acts and thus media portrays Islam as the religion of curelty which is totally not the case.
as a non-muslim, i got to appreciate their religion much more because of this video. i wish that people would not hate others for different beliefs but would respect it and maybe explore it.
Shut up

More power to you my friend! Bless you and your family.
Basically every muslim kid starts fasting pretty fast. Even if it is not obligated till a certain age, many muslims are excited to fast. My 10 year old sister kept fasts the whole month this time. Personally I always feel the most peaceful and relaxed during Ramadan. It’s basically a whole therapy month for our family.
Yeah , but I basically hate to socialize with my family .I get scolded a lot after sleeping on 4 am then waking at 12 pm . I miss a lot of prayer just because I was asleep.
areeba akram yeah i did my first fast when i was like 7 and I loved it
It makes u more ready for when U HAVE TO fast
It's painful to be hungry all the time but when I look back I recall Ramadan as a peaceful, great month. Literally happens every year.
my first fasting start when i was 6 six y'o but it ws not full fasting (mean i just fasting for 6 hours). When I was 7 y'o, i start my full fasting.
I started fasting half day when I was 5 and full day when I was 10
As a muslim when ramadan ends i feel sadness when it ends. It weirdly doesnt feel long enough
Its never enough for me
you feel sad but also completed . what you could also do is fast the 6 days of shawaal.
@@tasnymel-abdallah293 true, also every monday and Thursday of every month and 13,14,15th day of the month like our prophet Muhammad sallaLahu aleyhim wasallam
Allah is here all year round, we can call upon him any time he’s always there he’s the ever hearing and the ever seeing the absolute, we feel sadness thinking that special connection only peeks/lasts in Ramadan but in reality it’s available as long as we continually act on it (worshiping all year round, praying, dua , reciting Quran, thikhir, and other sunnah's like fasting Mondays and Thursdays or the "Ayaam al bied' every month, and dua for daily occasions , etc
always having allah in your heart
may Allah make us among those he loves and make us have a good life here and hereafter and most importantly make us return to him with a clean heart yaran
it literally flies by

BENEFITS OF RAMADAN (FASTING):
• PATIENCE

• KINDNESS
• EMPATHY
• HEALTH
• CLOSENESS TO CREATOR
Hi, I'm currently raising money for Islamic Relief's Yemen Emergency Appeal, through fasting similarly to Ramadan. I have a justgiving page, as well as videos with facts and figures about the Yemen Crisis, as well as fasting updates. I'm trying to raise awareness, so please check this out if you can! Thanks so much
@MAGNE HARALD JOHANSEN back up your foolish talk .STOP.... don't bother you cannot cos it is foolish talk.
@MAGNE HARALD JOHANSEN You really going to meat the Devil in Hell.good luck to you buddy
@@mohammedsalama1989 Don't know if you're a muslim but saying that someone is going to heaven or hell is forbidden unless it is mentioned in the scripture.
Watching this while fasting... huge respect to this guy man!
As a muslim i feel emotional watching this, im so happy that u loved the experience
I just wanna appreciate the fact that this man actually thoroughly searched about Ramadan fasting and understood the significance of these fasts.💕💕👌🏽 This channel deserves recognition!❤️❤️
6:12 loved how you said "I'm going to try to appreciate each bite" ❤️ That's exactly what Islam teaches us to do! To be grateful for everything that we have & for being able to break our fast after a long day. There are so many people around the world who are living in poverty, not knowing what their next meal will be. So Ramadan is definitely a time for reflection & gratitude! Alhamdulilah (all praise to God) 🙏🏽
Alhamdulillah💜
WOW♥️
Ohhh love this video!! ❤️ And actually the hardest part during fasting is not the hunger and thirst but rather to control our behaviour such as anger, lies, bad words, and so on
What's crazy is during Ramadan I literally don't feel the fasts but as soon as the month is over I am absolutely starving and binge eat. Huge respect to you. You did it justice in this video and showed that it's more than just abstianing from food but it's a spiritual journey too
That’s what I feel too. Ramadan is sooo full of blessings that you can manage the fasts with ease. Outside of Ramadan fasting feels so difficult
I'm not a muslim but I think this was done really respectfully and educationally! Thank you for making this video!!
When you're a child in a Muslim family, fasting is like a cool adult thing that you can't wait to do. The first day I tried to fast, I was four or five years old, my parents bought me a fruit milk, chocolate custard and a chocolate bread to congratulate me. I couldn't wait and gave up mid-day but I was still proud and decided to do more next time. As you grow, you get used to it, and it ends up being something we wait for all year. As I'm typing, I already miss ramadan even though it wasn't so long ago...
Something I'd love to add, Ramadan is also about character. You can't swear in ramadan, you can't fight people. So I find that Ramadan truly makes people kinder and sweeter with each other ❤️
Beautifully said ❤️
Your parents sounds so wholesome ❤️❤️
Yea I started fasting when I was 8 alhamdulilah
@@FantasticFanatique Yeah, my mom is a sweet woman, and my father was the best father of the world ❤️
Yeah bro I'm 13 and its so easy now and I feel good
At 11:58 the reasoning was spot on regarding the purpose of Ramadhan excellent. keep it up!
What a fantastic journey and thank you for doing such a positive educational video. I hope the lessons stay with you forever and you benefit others as well as yourself.
I strongly believe you have to go through something in order to understand it.
Great job MashAllah
As a Brit and having many Muslim friends I gave it a go for a week and it was life changing . Like you said that pain was actually gratitude. I feel more for those now who are surviving with hunger . I then learned the health benefits associated with intermittent fasting for the body , such as detox , and so now I do it more often and my health has never been better mate . Happy Ramadan
Just think that all these health benefits were discovered recently by science but Muslims have been doing it since 1400 years. Same goes for alot more stuff in Islam.
Anyways May Allah Bless You and have a great and fruitfull life
That's awesome, James!! Congratulations for trying it. One of the reasons Ramadan is done is so we can understand how those without food around the world feel so it's fantastic that you got that. It keeps us grounded in empathy and appreciation. I love IF too!! I usually do 18:6 and sometimes 23:1.
Thank you james 😊😊😊
@@prpr6731 thanks so much for your encouragement!
@@h-j-k-8gaming982 I agree with you and it says a lot about Islam I’m just opening my eyes now and seeing how ignorant I was . I am more open minded mature and a better person than I ever was and I couldn’t be happier
As a Muslim myself, you just brought tears to my eyes. We grow up doing this every year and forget the reason behind it, and for a non-Muslim to remind us why we doing it in your own words, the feeling you got from the experience was beautiful. Thank you so much for doing this. May God reward you in abundance.
Are u indian
I'm South African
@@yusrahharris1280 ok
@@badboy-ec7mh what a random question lol
@@imranabdiamin8258 lmao
massive kudso to you for doing this, everyone has a different journey to self reflection - you just chose the journey that muslims believe pleases Allah the most - hope you reap the rewards in life for your efforts mate.
I am so happy and glad that you tried and shared your experience, means a lot❤️
NOTE: fasting isn't obligated for children, elderly people who can't fast or have some sickness (like insanity), travelers who have long/tiring trip, pregnant women if they are worried about their/baby's health and women on their periods, and women who just gave birth (blood still running).
However, if you miss a day you will have to fast it later after Ramadan ends (doesn't apply to kids or people with permanent illnesses)
im 10 yrs and i dont even know if i hit puberty so ima fast anyways
@@ikrilatic aww you are so young yet you want to fast, that's amazing ❤️
Don't be hard on yourself, fast what u can.
@@mrspo7012 im literally crying rn i missed fajr
@@ikrilatic ❤️ it is ok
Children can fast. And if you are not muslim then keep your gob shut. You dont know anything
Honesty me being a Muslim, I see hate all around us like people believe we’re bad people when the religion it self teaches peace. I appreciate that you participated in this and all the respect you showed! Ty :)
Edit: omg I didn’t notice how much attention this got. Also please don’t argue about religions and start hate in the replies. I believe in Allah the almighty but whichever god or religion you believe in, you’re still a human after all so I hope you live a happy life and have a blessed day!
The media is the problem but it’s too late but that doesn’t mean we can’t change it religions must not be judged based on prayers
May allah bless you (I’m not saying that you did something wrong)

When u will be prosecuted because u r christian and ts still going on in the world then u will understand.When u realize theres are bad ethics in the Quran.When u r contradictive about lord jesus ,the gospel and ur writings.When u claim corrupted bible n perfectly preserved Quran that took centuries to be completed.Narratives eaten by a goat? Hoe many narratives where in the 9th century ? 12th century ? 14th century ? How year 1924 embraced most contradictive Hafs ibn Sulaymaan who was considered a weak reporter of hadith.Thousands of questions i can raise but it is u who has to analyze this n be objective.We do not claim perfection of the bible as humans wrote it yet our message is the same.Dont forget what lord jesus said ME AND THE FATHER R ONE.also when jewish asked him who is he .He said before Abraham was i am.May Lord Jesus clear ur blindness from the war lord who enslaved and sexed woman.Who robbed and hired a paid army to slaugther.Comparing sinless Lord Jesus with this demon is a madness.
@@dansie8320 is there a god who Encourage to kill? Who would want to kill his own beings
And why would you even pray Jesus when he have a father like you say and go search if there’s any of the word ‘sword’ in Quran there is none and is there a god who dies? Everyone knows that gods are immortal and is there a god who eat?
You won’t believe because you didn’t believe you’re own god
And Jesus is a messenger in Islam not a god
Please pray to the Creator to show you truth and if there is anything not pleasing to Him.
We have all been deceived. He has no religion. All religion follow traditions of men rather than His Commands.
mashallah. you are amazing. god bless you!
Am doing Ramadan this entire month!!! It truly is awesome!!!
Non-Muslim: Oh God this is hard

absolutely sweetheart
I agree. Unfortunately, for (some) Americans it's a cultural appropriation 😂
Well done, really proud of you for doing this. What a time for me to watch this video too, tomorrow is Eid as well, so I wish everyone Eid Mubarak in advance.
Fasting ramadhan really makes you appreciate God for the food and water you get easy everyday...it makes you have mercy for poor who doesnt have food and water
I love how u didn’t just fast but u understood why 2 billion people in the world do it and u did ur research. 🖤 and how u became grateful to being able to have a food to break ur fast when there are people who dont have any food.
It was a great experience!
They said 1.4 billion didn't they?
Mr Watto but there is 2.8 billion muslims
《JK》 well he said 1.8 ...... I'm pointing out what he said. I don't care as Allah is a peado, not something I'm into.
Mr Watto how tf is Allah a pedo? 🤮
I’m a Filipino-Muslim and I am happy to see a non-muslim do this to help us show the world our practices ❤️ Thank you!
May Allah (SWT) bless you
Congratulations. Well done, great work in lulling through 7 days of fasting.
I'm very proud of u for giving fasting a try n now u knew already what is the benefit and how beautiful it is when people do fast. Yes first day was a bit tough but the more u fast the more u get used to it.Happy Eid . and i salute u brother. In God's name AMEN.
Not just fasting get us closer to god but it also teaches us to appreciate the food that we have. Islam is not just a religion, it's a way of life ❤ I'm proud becoming a Muslim

"Remember non muslims does not read Quran or Hadith but they watch your activity as a Muslim. We muslims are the symbol of Quran and Hadith."
Well said
Yes brother you said right
guess what? most muslims don't read the quran at all and those that do cannot comprehend the quran. they simply regurgitate what their imams tell them. you don't even get the same story from two different imams, let alone 2 different qurans and right now there are at least 37 different qurans that are completely different from each other. what is worse is that the quran is not preserved but has been changed drastically over the course of 1400 yrs. both yasir qadhi and shabir ali have said so. there are holes in the narrative and not even the top scholars can answer the questions as to why. it was said 1400 yrs ago that no man can memorize the quran, because the whole quran no longer existed then. a sheep ate over 200 verses of surah 33 and that alone means it is NOT preserved.
@Night Visitor except that the non muslims aren't told that once you become a muslim, you can't quit. if you do, then you die. muhammad said anyone that changes their religion has to be killed. there are parts of your own country you can't go into alone anymore and you are so confused that you defend the people doing it.
@Night Visitor i didn't mention non belivers, i mentioned shabir ali and yasir qadhi. are those people non believers now? compare the interview between muhammad hijab and yasir qadhi's channel and you will see muhamad hijab deleted almost 30 minutes of it because he thinks you are so stupid you can't handle the truth about a corrupted quran. if that isn't bad enough, muhammad thought you were going to be so stupid, you wouldn't even know how to wipe your ass when you take a shit.
i just watch this vlog and you have my respect brother 👏🏻👏🏻🇲🇾🇲🇾
It is Ramadan again! Fasting! Personally, I open my fast with olives and water and then wait for 5 minutes. Take it slow and at the table remember the gratitude for the food we have and remember the hungry. And then slowly eat. Don't rush. Anyway, after starting eating slowly, the stomach can not take much. If you eat quickly and rush into food, the stomach would get blown up. Feel uncomfortable. After 3 - 4 days, your mind and body start clearing up. And later feel even better. All the best. It was very nice of you to support your friend. He's lucky to have such a friend as you.
This was the most incredible thing 💕 As a Muslim, sometimes it’s bloody tough being on the receiving end of hate and phobia! It’s so amazing and heartwarming to see such love and compassion and unity. Thankyou so much!
I don't hate you. I don't fear you. Thanks for what you bring to the world. Stay safe.
The last minute before Iftar feels like hours
So true
Your stomach be like: GIVE ME FOOD, GIVE ME FOOD NOW
Bruh thats so true i was waiting like 1 minute was like half an hour Lol
Muslim's God, Allah, listens carefully to the wishes of Muslims when they are fasting, especially in that last minute. That's one of the reasons why, as a Muslim, I love it :)
Looking faithful, joker!
Honestly u so cute it's amazing how you shared ur understanding & experience. Good on ya
Funniest part was the voldemort comparison
Alhamdulillah Sister! May Allah shower his blessings upon you!
As a Muslim myself it's incredible to see others appreciate our religion and actually show people what Ramadan is all about as it's not all about fasting. You got yourself a new subscriber love this vid.
Eid Mubarak to all my brothers and sisters celebrating this weekend.
"So now when I feel pain, I feel gratitude. That's mad now, ain't it?!" Yup, it's humbling, and there is a joy to being grateful.
