I have always admired the self discipline of Ramadan. When I was a student, one of my house mates practised fasting and to help him we would not cook and eat durring daylight hours in the house. So we would go to other students digs and eat there. Most faiths have or have some form of fasting, but overtime we don't follow the tradition anymore.   |

Am I correct in noting its it's quite an early one
Thus better hours
Especially if its warm
Please make sure you drink well before sunrise and after sunset
I do love the other rules perhaps they should be fab rules
Imo fasting is good
Not hydrating bad

A philosophy I understand is taoism
Dates about 3 thousand years predating Buddhism Hinduism judahism christianity and Islam
My reading leads me to think fasting rituals came from there also the kindness introduced to Judaism has taoist flavours

I felt privileged to share a house with 3 other housemates from different cultures. It contributed to my own outlook on life and willing to be open to new experiences and to respect other people's views and traditions. It was also a two way street, he would also humour us at Christmas and join in with our festivities. |

Taoism doesn't predate Hinduism.
Abrahams faiths came from a different part of the globe and before taoism as well.
Islam itself claims to be the oldest way of life or religion in the world.
But its far too early to get this scholastic on such a site so I'll end it here haha  |

It's also a predecessor of tantra and the karma sutra |

Islam is very much based upon an old middle eastern way Judaism
Taoism is older but far more eastern
There are of course many religions God myths that predate the abrahamic ones

Yes Taoism does come from China.
Yes it is not Abrahamic.
I did a quick Google...
However, according to some, Taoism formed into a religious system within the lands of China sometime around the 4th or 3rd century BCE. Being the first to receive the inspiration of the Tao, some site Lao-tzu as the firstTaoist philosopher and the author of the Taoist texts known as the Tao-te Ching.
First, scholars now agree that the term Chaldeans is almost assuredly an anachronism, as it refers to a Semitic people who didn't show up in Ur until the 7thcentury B.C Abraham, by contrast, would have lived 1,300 years earlier, closer to 2,000 B.C
Most scholars believe Hinduism startedsomewhere between 2300 B.C. and 1500 B.C. in the Indus Valley, near modern-day Pakistan.
So you're right it seems to predate these. |

Iv been understanding more than 25 years
Dates of course will always be unknown
I treat it as a philosophy
The zen concept "the way" it taoist
I understand it also had adopted a theism to its philosophy honestly I ignore the theism as I do within the Buddhist way. which let's note buddhism is not a religion however many Buddhists have a theism x
I practice fasts of various lengths throughout the year
Personally I never restrict water
I wish all those on their fast peace and strengh |

That's impressive. I didn't think Christians fasted during Lent. We used to cut out certain foods when I was younger, eg eggs, sugar, etc etc. Well done to you. I am imagine the experience can be self reflecting and good for your well-being. |

Most don’t really, they’ll give things up like you said. But I have been losing my faith of late so really wanted to test myself and try and rediscover it. Not sure it worked but it did make me far more appreciative. Most of the support and advice I got was from Muslims who were of course used to fasting. |

"Enjoy your celebrations guys, stay safe "
No disrespect to the well wishers
However
To my understanding
Ramadan is NOT a or THE celebration
It's a time of reflection and self sacrifice
An honorable time to discover more about oneself and ones faith whilst keeping a kind and civil mind and tongue
It's not really a
Happy Ramadan
As some may say happy xmas or Easter
We would not say happy lent ?
Again let me take nothing away from the good intentions ment by happy Ramadan
But "happy" kind of detracts from its purpose
Eid however now there is a celebration and something to wish happiness and merriment
I maybe an atheist yet the philosophical side of Ramadan is something I advocate and is reflected in many humanist philosophies
Focus self control reflection on humanity and ones roll to pass on positivity and kindness
And a damn good celebration at the end
So those participants
Hold strong and may you find the inner peace and understanding you quest

You know that according to all the monotheistic faiths, we are all burning in hell...
I would not be in too much of a hurry to fast...
Or maybe we should set up Fabfasters where we can all have a biscuit and a cup of tea about two hours before sunset. |

That’s fine but a lovely gentleman I used to work with enjoyed the time enormously, he enjoyed the praying and the fasting, it enforced his faith which he was very proud of, and most certainly enjoyed the find after it had ended when all the family had a huge meal together and he could give me a hug n kiss again  |

"Enjoy your celebrations guys, stay safe
No disrespect to the well wishers
However
To my understanding
Ramadan is NOT a or THE celebration
It's a time of reflection and self sacrifice
An honorable time to discover more about oneself and ones faith whilst keeping a kind and civil mind and tongue
It's not really a
Happy Ramadan
As some may say happy xmas or Easter
We would not say happy lent ?
Again let me take nothing away from the good intentions ment by happy Ramadan
But "happy" kind of detracts from its purpose
Eid however now there is a celebration and something to wish happiness and merriment
I maybe an atheist yet the philosophical side of Ramadan is something I advocate and is reflected in many humanist philosophies
Focus self control reflection on humanity and ones roll to pass on positivity and kindness
And a damn good celebration at the end
So those participants
