Fasting

kitaabussaum

Ramadan is the time when Muslims think about fasting the most, but of course we can, if we wish, fast at any time of the year, not just during the obligatory time of Ramadan. This book, Kitaabus Saum (The Book of Fasting) explains all the issues relating to fasting.

Ramadan And Health

Please follow this link for some very sensible advice on how to stay healthy during Ramadan. This is especially important for our new Sisters and Brothers who are experiencing Ramadan for the first time. In the excitement and joy of this time we sometimes forget to teach our new Sisters and Brothers about the very real physical effects of fasting.

Everyday modest dressing

Brothers are also supposed to dress modestly at all times, not just on Jummah or Eid.  There are a lot of different styles of modest clothing for men, but a simple shalwar kameez combination is comfortable and very practical for whatever activity needs to be done, and looks good on any age or size.
