Do people not fast anymore?

[empressjamila]

Not fasting this week so I went to Tims to get a ice cap and I saw a bunch of adeers talking with their coffees. Granted it’s not as many adeers there as before Ramadan but they can’t all be diabetics lmao.

Also have a few Muslim coworkers who I haven’t seen fast once since the start of Ramadan. Haven’t asked why since I didn’t want to pry but again, everyone cannot be diabetics.

What’s going on? Fasting this time of year is literally easy mode too, why are so many Muslims not doing it? Has anyone else noticed this?

I was lucky to find a kosher deli, near my workplace but nowadays if I work late I pack food to heat since I usually work late.

Yea it’s def weird because I remember when Ramadan was in the summer, it was a struggle walahi but most people were still fasting. Now in March it’s too hard for everyone? Strange…

A lot of canadian muslims are cooked. They either don’t care or arnt serious about their Akhira.
May Allah guide us all.

Majority of the Diaspora kids are growing up now I think and are making their first choices that aren't guided by their parents

Lots of them. In the Muslim World where people would beat you up for eating in public, there are millions of these agnostic/atheists in these countries fasting.


فَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَهْدِيَهُۥ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَـٰمِ ۖ


“So whoever Allah wants to guide.He opens his chest to Islam”

Was this tradition done by Somali youth in America too? It didn't matter what day Eid fell on because clubs were open everyday.

Not even trying to be funny but this type of thinking and mentality can be a reason why your ramadan won’t be accepted. You’re being insincere and already planning to go back to sins once the month is over. May allah guide you
