I’m not a Muslim. I grew up Christian. As an adult, I don’t know what I am. But with the geopolitical events happening in the world today, I am in complete awe of the faith the people of Palestine possess. The motivation to face every day in spite of what they’re currently experiencing is inspiring. Again, I’m not Muslim but I want to partake as an act of solidarity. If that’s not respectful please do not hesitate to tell me. I would never want to add insult to injury.

[@M13150]

Brother, you can fast regardless of your religion! :) I have heard there are people who even fast with Muslims in Ramadan to practice discipline, focus and for other health benefits. Do more research and give it a try! May God bless you and ease all your affairs

[@auntshelly]

Please join us friend! ❤️

[@deenandchai]

You can definitely join! Not disrespectful at all. Thank you for checking! Hope you have a beautiful experience of Ramadan! May it be a month of peace and contentment for you and all of us.

[@Andetria]

I’m in the same boat as you. Not sure what I am anymore. But the last 4 months changed me as a person. This will be my first Ramadan. All success to you ☺️

[@shahiemabismath5597]

A tip for anyone fasting when the hunger pangs do come make dua or recite quran ❤love you for the sake of Allah

[@noortr4528]

Im an atheist. But I respect religions. Participating this year the complete Ramadan, for solidarity with all the people in Palestine❤🇵🇸 Thanks for the information🫶 xx a woman from the netherlands

[@boldizsarszabo]

I'm not a Muslim but I recently took an interest in Islam. This year is going to be the first time I try Ramadan, so this video is so helpful. Thank you so much, I'm honestly really looking forward to it 😊🙌

Me too!! I’m a Christian but I have a bunch of Muslim friends and I love them so much. So I’m doing this for the first time to honor God and to honor my Muslim friends. 😊❤️💖

[@Ryantravisaol]

I'm not Muslim, but God Wiling, I'm going to try Ramadan for the first time this year. I have some struggles that I know God will help with, and I feel inspired to seek help through Ramadan. To muslim people, I pray for Palestine, and I wish you a good Ramadan. May God be with us all and help bring peace to others.

I’m a revert I wanted to understand more about Ramadan thank you

[@anapaulabedoya5372]

Im not Muslim but I love my Muslim friends very much. Also, I am forever impressed by Palestinians and the strength of their faith. I am trying Ramadan this year with the guidance of my Lebanese friend, Mariam 💗. I hope the universe receives my fast as an offering and hears my plea for the genocides to stop and for Palestine to be free this year 🙏🏽

[@ivetabombalova3933]

You have been deceived! Sleeping all day and stuffing yourself after is not a fast! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWmnn3yjZquefJYsi=TIdr169RQAEAGApa

[@binxwaxcap7832]

I have a feeling this video is going to gain a lot a views in coming days. After watching what is REALLY happening to Palestinian and Palestinians, I am going to be partaking in my first Ramadan this year in solidarity with Palestinian 🍉 I know Im a little late but I hope Im still able to show proper respect ❤

[@dontewalker2698]

I'm not Muslim but at the same time I guess i am because I do submit to the Will of God. But the last 2 months Islam has really been in my heart and spirit. I've started watching more youtube clips on all things Islam. I've begun reading the Quran. However I do get loss a little because it doesn't read like the bible. But it's in my spirit to fast and participate in Ramadan this yr. I'm very excited. This was a great video

[@jigglybandito9505]

It’s because man wrote the Bible. The Quran is from allah. I would revert my friends it’s amazing. In’sha’allah.

[@kirstyfynn1372]

Thank you so so much!! I'm Catholic but I have a great respect for Islam and all of my friends who are of the faith. I may work in a muslim country soon and am trying to learn as much as possible so that I can be a respectful and kind person in the community. This was so informative and helpful for me. Thank you again for sharing in such a clear way!

[@TT-qn2kz]

I’m not a Muslim at all. I’m a Christian but I work with Islamic people. Very humble fellow, so gentle… in fact most Muslims I’ve met. So honest. I also like their charity works- which I could be involved in charity like them. No religion IN THE WORLD practices charity like Muslims. Their dedication to Ramadan also is extraordinary… and yes I’d also like to copy Ramadan process in my life

[@AlyssaAgu]

A year ago, I watched this video to prepare for my first Ramadan with the intention to take shahada at the end. Alhamdulilllah. This video helped me feel confident on embarking on the month all alone. May Allah SWT bless you sister and place barakah in your channel ❤

I'm not religious, but wanted to know more just out of curiosity. Almost all I can find is propaganda, for or against Islam, so it's nice to find a roughly informative and structured explanation. Thank you.

[@mashbrook91]

I am not muslim but 2 of my closest friends are muslim and I grew up to respect all religions and learn about them my dad made sure I learned basics about many religions when I was younger but now that I am 17 I think it's time that I dive deeper so I can be more respectful to others and learn new things from religions that aren't my own

[@Vlogswithayesha3236]

You gave a lovely explanation. I love the idea of "God-conscious". Beautiful.

[@pietro_monogatari]

my partner is muslim, I am trying to understand this practice to be of as much support for them as I possibly can in what I can imagine is already a cumbersome (though enlightening) time, with us being sort of long-distance, this is giving me the tools to be more mindful of the alone time they need during the day. thank you!

You're the muslim friend that I don't have yet irl. BarakaAllahu fik for educating us in such a peaceful manner (your voice is soooo soothing btw mashaAllah).

I saw so many stupid videos explaining Ramadan as just fasting without real explanation, so thank you so much for this!

[@MegaPositivethoughts]

Asalamu Alaykum and Jazaki Allah Khair, dear sister, for this beautiful tutorial on Ramadan 101, Masha’Allah. The only two things It would be nice to add is that it’s okay to begin fasting in the state of janube and that any days one has to make up due to missing a day of fasting in Ramadan, must be made up before the next coming Ramadan and that we are not allowed to fast the day before Ramadan. May Allah grant us all the opportunity to see this next Ramadan and to make it accepted and blessed, Ameen.

[@dianamorad6334]

Salamu Alaykum ukhti and thank you for this beautiful and thorough video! Would you mind making a video about different Du'as one can make during Ramadan or just in general? I've just started learning to pray and I find it difficult finding explanation information about Du'as to make. Maybe a video in general about different types of prayers, their characteristics each, do they have to be the exact same rak'ah that you recite every time for that certain prayer etc? Also I would like to ask for guidance in regard of how to communicate with Allah swt. For instance if one is struggling with health, loss of a loved one or something else, how do we make a prayer and call Allah for help and guidance for this particular situation?

Love your video, sha allah

[@faezahussain9235]

This was a great video to share with a revert friend . It covered almost everything in a beautiful and concise way . BarakaAllah. The only thing I will to add is about the number of taraweeh prayers . There is a difference of opinion on that and the correct veiw is that prophet pbuh didn't set a specific number for it al one do 2 rakahs or 100 making them odd in number by praying with at the end and that will be considered night prayer / tarawih for him Is there a set number for prayers at night? The evidence that there is no set number for prayers at night - which include Tarawih - is the hadith of Ibn ‘Umar according to which a man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about prayer at night. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Prayers at night are to be offered two by two (two rak’ahs at a time). If any of you fears that the time of dawn is approaching then let him pray one rak’ah as Witr.” (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 846; Muslim, 749) 2ndly Praise be to Allah. Eid al-Fitr lasts for just one day, which is the first day of Shawwaal. ( not 3 days) With regard to the commonly-held belief among people, that Eid al-Fitr lasts for three days, this is merely a custom that is known among the people, and has nothing to do with any shar’i rulings. Eid al Adha lasts for 3 days Hope that helps

[@razamughal9095]

The dispute is whether it is 20 rakah aur 8 rakah and the correct view is that it is 20.

[@razamughal9095]

Hi. They are not connected with ramadan. Probably people started making drawings of them because mosques have these shapes but there is nothing connecting them to ramadan, if anything these sheets would make a good lesson on astronomy

what if we have that time of the month on Laylat al-Qadr ?

Good question - we can take part in other worship activities and good deeds inshaAllah, e.g. making du'aa, listening to Quran, helping others, cooking for those fasting, making dhikr etc.
