What's Dubai like during Ramadan? (the changes we've noticed)

[@fahimashah4573]

I love how respectful you guys are towards different cultures and religions. One of the reasons muslims can not drink water during Ramadan is because drinking water while fasting actually dilutes the minerals and vitamins from our bodies. Minerals are important for your body to stay healthy. Your body uses minerals for many different jobs, including keeping your bones, muscles, heart, and brain working properly. They are needed to make enzymes and hormones.

[@Show_Guide]

Isn't it a bit dangerous to work 8 hours outside in 30+ degree heat and not drinking any fluids?

[@furiousfade4ever211]

​@@Show_Guide you fear the danger or the one who created you?

[@Show_Guide]

​@@furiousfade4ever211There no fear, just common sense guided by experience, rather than a fictional charactor. Going 8 hours without fluids is dangerous to the human body. If you have the luxury of working indoors with AC no problem, but if you work outdoors for 8 hours, no fluids can result in serious issues.

[@furiousfade4ever211]

@@Show_Guide We don't have the luxury to think about our body. It's not dangerous at all many people do it in Ramadan. Even if you're not able to keep the fast there's no problem Allah will forgive you. The main purpose of fasting is building relations with god. It's a test from Allah how much you fear him. How much can you sacrifice for him. You get 12 months a year and in that time you can eat however you wish.

[@Show_Guide]

@@furiousfade4ever211 Don't you think that's a bit Barbaric, seeing as Scientists and Medical Professionals with thousands of years of research intonthe human body, state it is unhealthy to be in 40 degree heat for 8 hours without fluids?

In Ramadan , fasting starts from dawn to sunset . During time of fasting , no food or drink, or private relation between married ones . It a chance to realize well how poor people feel when they couldnt find any food to make you more compassionate and merciful towards them . Ramadan encourage people to give charity and support the needy one , and to thank god who provide you , and make you able to buy food coz many others around world couldnt .

[@SuSu25515]

Wanted to mention eating dates is considered to be a blessing because our prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to eat dates. Anything our prophet did is called (sunnah) and we get extra rewards for it. This tradition is rooted in religious teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, who is quoted as saying: “When one of you is fasting, he should break his fast with dates; but if he cannot get any, then (he should break his fast) with water,

[@IsaMutlib]

check out the night prayers from one of the mosques. You could go to the one near the marina and see it from the outside. Also, there's not long left but see if you can find a public iftar and join in.

[@MrH786]

You should show us one of their iftar buffets in the evenings.

[@cinemathemostimportant7717]

Not in the evening before the sun goes up an more before that.

[@ReadByJess]

Ramadan moves back by 10 days each year so maybe if it was a cooler time of year you’d find it affects you more? Dubai seems pretty similar to Qatar except most of the points you mentioned are law in Qatar/more strict.

[@basakmed]

[@mrbabyhugh]

About the star.... that crescent moon with star is a symbol of Islam. it also represents powerful union between man & woman. The star represents the female principle as well as the love Goddess Venus & Ishtar.

Hi guys! Thank you for covering up Ramadhan in Dubai. Muslims all around the world are fasting atm 🌎 yes, there are certain conditions in which you don’t have to fast but its not because of work or anything. It is only if you are sick, too old and mentally and physically unable to then you can skip fast and pay the due to the poor as an act to replace fast for those who can’t fast for a health reason. I hope your visit to Dubai really hopes your eyes and heart to the religion of Islam and you are able to see the happiness and peace you will have in this life and the afterlife, if Allah wills ☪️ Ameen

[@berberbro]

Can I say as a muslim, it is totally not disrespectful towards our religion to eat and drink as you please whilst we are fasting. Even for muslims it is encouraged/not allowed to fast in certain conditions (for example when travelling, when there is a medical condition etc). It is truly something between God and the believer. Although I totally find it beautiful when people like you and others are trying to be very mindful and respectful!

[@miaking5973]

hi guys, not sure. I just got back from Dubai (19 April) and we were eating and drinking anywhere during the fasting hours. A few years ago it was like you say, you couldn't eat/drink in public but it has defo changed this year. I was drinking water in public around JBR and Malls, even grabbing a wrap and eating whilst walking in public.....all during he fasting hours. In the malls the food outlets would be previously partitioned off so eating was private or curtains on restaurant windows, but that was not present this year.....

Try one day of fasting like people of your environment.

Nothing Arabic. Hope you are able enjoy being in a different place and culture to expand your world perception. Have a great day!

[@Show_Guide]

Let's be honest, if tourists had to abide 100% by Islam like locals do, then Dubai would be empty. If Westerners were told they couldn't eat or drink anything in daylight hours in Dubai and have to cover arms and legs in 35 degree heat, then again, I very much doubt Dubai would be anything like as popular as it is now. The businesses of Dubai know they have to relax the traditions for tourists otherwise they would likely go out of business.

[@nurulislamkhanuae9912]

Ramadan.. its probably easier if you just sleep all your day and connect to the toher otherside and than just enjoy the moonlight energies after a nice long nap. ugh.. so hard to explain, maybe if your just up up high in the skies and leave your body in a safe place One can really Dream Away.
