What a lovely video. This year was my first experience of Ramadan and initially intended to be in solidarity and hold in the Light my Palestinian friends and community. From the first moment to the last day, it was a very special experience of deepening faith, personal discipline, improved health, and much learning. This video gives more depth to the intention of the experience especially about the anticipated changes each year will bring with the difference. I found each day always the day during Ramadan and always different because of the lengthening day. It was a vigorous challenge to meet each adjustment while staying balanced and measured. My sons were very proud it was such a good experience and happy I've maintained the discipline since then.

Thank you for explaining Ramadan to me. I'd never fully understand it before.

Thank you brother for explaining Ramadan. God bless you 🙏

Thank for this beautiful video. I wish I could share Ramadan without the anger and show it seems to have become. People are cross on the street, they boast of fasting and I barely see a deepening of spirituality. Rather a focus on the breaking of the fast instead of simple gratitude. I am in a Muslim country and sad that I cannot enjoy this experience without feeling forced or ashamed.

You speak the truth

Amazing well put together video Tareq. Thanks for uploading it

Seriously cool video. Thanks for sharing it with the world as it is very inspiring and distinct feature of Islamic faith.

On the bad points: 1 - One could flip this and say that hey, Muslim kids get to see Ramadan as an important time of the year, which deters them from feeling left out of events like christmas season (esp if they live in the west). That being said, I am still in agreement that the commertialization puts a lot of noise between the core of ramadan, which is fasting for the sake of allah, and its many virtues. 2 - I think the second point is weakest. All its saying is people who are not in their element tend to loose control of themselves while fasting. Its a moot point and isn't something that is something I'd categorize as an epidemic issue (which 1 and 3 can be considered ) 3 - Yeah this is indeed a big issue i've taken from Ramadan too for many years and its hard to tell immediate family to not be soo extravagant when it comes to iftar. I guess on the positive side, when you see this food, it makes you say shukr.

i like to wish "Ramadan Mubarak" and pray that it brings you and your family closer to G-D, ameen. we also fast during ramadan with our muslim brothers and sisters. however, as the last remnants of the children of israel we fast for 40 days with 29 to 30 days in the month of ramadan and 11 to 10 days in shawwal. the prophet always fasted, like us, in shawwal. though he fasted for 10 to 11 days in shawwal, muslim scholars say he fasted at least 6 days and many follow his sunnah and fast for 6 days in shawwal. the fasting of the prophet in shawwal was obligatory for him, as the final israelite prophet, but for the muslims it is voluntary. this is similar to the midnight prayer, the qiyam al layl. it is obligatory for us and was obligatory for the prophet, but it is a sunnah for the muslims. hence, both for the prophet and us there are 6 obligatory prayers every day. this has been the command of G-D since the time of moses. salaam.

Non Muslim here. 66 year old female who is going to try, but with one modification. I recently had a small pulmonary embolism, and it is extremely important not to become dehydrated. So I will probably still have water. I have forgotten the word, but I learned this morning there is a donation one can make in cases like this.

Thank you.

Thank you 👍💥

Beautiful job describing the intended flow of Ramadan and its purpose, application & intent! In late '80's I was introduced to it through the Baha'i Faith as I had looked into their teachings. Sadly i loved their all inclusive theory but not their practice that if you didnt follow their prophet, with judgment, cancelled out value of others still following the previous ones?!! Seemed quite the contradiction of terms... PEACE

Dear Tareq, I recently posted a comment on one of your videos. Less than one minute later, it was deleted. I don't know if you deleted it, or if youtube deleted it. The comment did not contain any improper wording. No vulgarity. No insult. No profanity. No hostility. No cruelty. NOTHING improper, at all. Do you delete comments? ...or is youtube the only authority which deletes comments on your channel?

thanks for pointing out the "ugly" commercialization that has crept into this beautiful worship of G-D due to western influence in our time. also, i like to correct something in your video. it was never a policy of the prophet to attack caravans of the quraish or any non-muslims. the caravan that he and his companions attempted to attack before the battle of badr was an exception and there was a reason for it. the quraish had looted the homes and properties of the muslims from mecca who had migrated to medina. they added these stolen properties to their own goods when they went to syria for their annual trade. the muslims were attempting to attack them to retrieve any and all the money the quraish had made by selling the stolen properties of the muslims. this was the same strategy that abraham had used when a tribe stole his property. abraham together with some of his servants attacked the tribe at night in a special operation and retrieved his property. the quran says, "oppression is worse than slaughter". after this no other tribe dared to steal from abraham. actions must have consequences. the prophet did not attack any quraish caravan that did not included stolen property of muslims.

Bro click piet me😢😂

still its not giving you the rights to take your enger on the rest of the world
