How to have easy fasting in Ramadan?



No doubt, Allah Almighty blesses every fast observer with special patience and self-control power to complete the fasting process. Still, some new Muslims, health sensitive people and hard working employees find it difficult to observe fast normally for longer period of time. Following are the some common problems that such fast observes usually face and the time tested tips to make them have easy fasting during Ramadan.

1- Some people start feeling heart burn two to three hours ago Iftar time. Mostly, they have problem with the digestive system or have quite big bodies to feed. Observations have revealed that eating two to three dates at the Sehri time reduces this problem to a considerable extent.

2- Almost every fast observer just starts drinking water madly after Iftar because the thirst is almost out of control. This creates health problems and dullness. Making a date-shake in the Iftar and drinking a couple of glasses satisfies this thirst to a considerable extent.

3- Those who are engaged in rigorous mental or physical activity throughout the day also start feeling intense starving in the last hours. Just make sure that you are always in ablution and after every hour or so recite the Holy Durud for about 5-10 minutes, closing your eyes and resting your head in a comfortable position. Durud, when recited with too much attention, decreases the blood pressure and sets breathing to a very light, smooth rhythm. This reduces the calorie break-down, resulting in lesser loss of energy; keeping you energetic and fresh for longer period of time.

Ramadan Kareem comes with lots of gifts and blessings. But, sometimes, it really becomes difficult for some people to fulfill all the requirements of fasting in their toleration limits. Above tips may help in making things easier and happy.
