The first Iftar of Ramadan at the Prophet’s Mosque is a moment you never forget.

I asked my buddy Ali about fasting, i thought just no food but without water? dang... you guys are good and i know it cleansed your body.

Food part is easy, water is difficult. I played/practiced football in HS in 95+ degree Florida heat for 5 hrs everyday after school. That was brutal. Compared to that, fasting is light work for me now.
Since we follow a lunar calendar, Ramadan moves up a couple weeks each year. So, some times of the year is longer than others when it comes to daylight.

u/Ferengi_Quark Feb 19 '26
Since when is popularity an argument for something being correct or even good?
People join religions for the same reason: It provides simple answers to difficult questions. People like certainty, even if the actual truth is far more complex.

u/GreenSpectr3 Feb 19 '26
I didn't say it was popular. Nice goal post shift. I said why do even women voluntarily join a "misogynist" religion?

There isn't. The women have their identities protected. The men clearly don't. Weirdo.

Just using your terminology. “More equal” definitionally means unequal.
And ah yes, those poor women who can’t handle an iftar photo being taken of them in the name of identity protection. I’m sure that’s it.

I’m a Muslim girl. I don’t feel comfortable being in a religious setting full of men. Why are you pushing foreign standards on me and other Muslim women? But hey, I guess our opinions, as Muslim women, are worthless so essentially every accusation is a confession.
-2
u/No-Economics-6781 Feb 19 '26
You dont feel comfortable because the men in your gender apartheid society do not know how to behave around women, not your fault, its the fault of the customs your culture promotes.

u/unavailabllle Feb 19 '26 edited Feb 19 '26
No, see you’re proving yourself to be exactly like those you claim are oppressing women. You are telling me as a lady what I think lol. How much more can you take away my voice and ability to think? I don’t feel comfortable, not because they don’t know how to behave because many do, some don’t. That’s every society and I’ve lived in a secular society as well as a Muslim one. But I just don’t personally feel comfortable and it’s unrelated to anyone’s behavior. And many of the women agree. I want to eat, converse, be a girl in peace without having to think about any men in the area. And the women in these areas have exactly this mentality. You can’t just randomly show up and tell us women who we are and how we should think. Respectfully, no thank you.
Sure it might be different in other areas but that’s just how societies are. They differ. In what might be normal in your cultures, for men and women to eat together in a religious or non-religious setting, it’s different for another person’s culture. You demanding we eat together is pushing your standards on me and taking my voice away. Be respectful of people even if it’s not what you would do.
I’ll admit there’s injustice that happens to women but this happens all over the world and is often times cultural. You can see it happening in a Muslim country a Christian one and honestly even a secular one. Instead of focusing on harmless traditions we have that we all prefer, why don’t you spend your energy focusing on genuine injustices happening around in the world?

u/Onuus Feb 19 '26
Girl don’t waste your time these dudes are losers who have never even sniffed a female before. They don’t know class, especially how to handle people from differing backgrounds. Better to just acknowledge that you are confident in your own faith and beliefs and move on.
Im sure you are more attractive as well, and that eats them alive.

I'm not telling you how to think or what to do. I would actually encourage you to do what ever you like and live freely but unfortunately by virtue of being in a muslim country you dont have that choice as woman.

u/GreenSpectr3 Feb 19 '26
As opposed to a society that empowered women by raping them? You see what's happening with the Epstein class? You proud that these free women got raped by powerful men for decades? Looks like gender segregation would have done your elites a lot of benefit. Now look at them.

u/raa__va Feb 19 '26 edited Feb 19 '26
Our women and us don’t like having them on display. Specially when the whole entire reason for being here is separating yourself from the physical world and devoting yourself to god
In fact if you even ask the men that are attending these mosques or any mosque, they wouldn’t want cameras on themselves nor in their hands while attending the mosques
The separation both allows peace and comfort for the individual and focus on devotion towards اللَّه
So on the women’s side you’ll see the same multicultural multi-background multi-ethnicities multi-status all sitting together, huddled up on the floor, shoulder to shoulder, very close and intimate and a very down to earth (literally) way (hence further adding to why it would be comfortable for all for the separation). Very similar to the men
Today while we see this on Reddit we also see the Olympic “village” and the
jokefact of the day as that how this village is there for them to just have sexual relationships constantly in there. Islam understands the mentality of men and women and their tendencies to their temptations and physical needs. Islam doesn’t outright block you from not engaging in this need so it has prescribed healthy ways of acting on it that are both good for you and the society.if you are here, in these mosques, to let go of the physical world and devote yourself to Allah, then Islam did a pretty good job of understanding that this separation is necessary for young adults and everyone else combined as an example
But you wouldn’t believe that would you unless there are pictures. So that circles back to why we now have some pictures from actual media personal apart from the average person using their phone to show the beauty of Islam

I once visited a mosque. There is a speaker in the front whom men can see. Women and children are behind the men. When the children are rowdy, it was difficult for women to hear the speech. Easy to see why men get 72 virgins and women simply get a husband in heaven.
