I Tried Fasting for Ramadan for a WEEK

[@benmorris]

This video was filmed about 3 weeks ago hence no mention of everything going on in the world regarding the black lives matter movement. I have signed multiple petitions, attended a protest & donated already to a few different causes. If you haven't already I encourage you to do the same and do your part. Racism is something which we cannot allow to continue, have those awkward conversations with family / friends - the people who don't believe POC are and have been oppressed for too long. Let's make a change together ❤️

[@saniabhatti9901]

Brandon this is what you call a hater who likes to spread fake news to make himself feel better . Get a life the Prophet respected his women more than you can even imagine and if you even took the time to study the Quran you would know that so in the mean time zip it until you know what Islam is about Smh .

[@prince8610]

No offence, I’m not religious and I don’t favour any religion over another, as they’re equally stupid and completely without logic for me, but I want to ask something. If more people should experience other religions then did you actually try to experience Christianity, Judaism or Buddhism by yourself? Did you celebrate Easter or Hanukkah ? I suppose that you haven’t. For example I definitely won’t support or celebrate religion in which you can be stoned to death or executed for being part of the LGBT+ community.

[@norella6]

cxm3ron it’s disrespectful to say that other religions are stupid keep ur negative opinion to ur self

cxm3ron we muslims can’t celebrate Easter or any holidays , or else we would , it’s a sin for us , we only celebrate EID which comes twice a year , after Ramadan and somewhere between August or September

cxm3ron your not gonna be stoned for being lgbtq , some countries in the Middle East might since there is people who take Islam very very serious , if you are part of lgbtq , your not Muslim , as it is a big sin

Mad respact brother. As you said Ramadan is best with family.

Ramadan teaches us to value food, time and every single drop of water.
