The month of late September- late October is quite special this year. For nearly 1.5 billion people it is a month of fasting, reflection and celebration.

In the hindu community it is the month of [B]Kartik and for muslims it is the month of Ramadhan.

Both of these end with two of the biggest celebrations in their religious calenders, with Divali and Eid-ul-Fitr.( which happen to be 2 days apart this year) mind you they can never be on the same day, cause divali is on a new moon and Eid-ul-Fitr must have a moon to spot.

No, muslims are not allowed to drink water when fasting. And children do not have to fast, neither old people or ill people.

I would realy like to know why in the case of Muslims do they only fast during the day and are allowed to eat in the evening.

This is how many religions do it, including Christianity and Judaism.

If you're going to fast for an extended period of time (say a week or month), you need to eat and drink sometime...its just been tradition foreverto not eat/drink when the sun is up.

Tomorrow is Divali, YAY!!!!

but omg the amount of work to clean this house, and the endless hours of cooking tomorrow.

But its all good.

It's only Saturnalia day at my house......... 🙁

OWWWW
my feet hurt, my back hurt, my hands hurt, and i am yet to light a deeya( a little clay pot that we light by the 10's or 100's on divali). But there is rain coming, so SO much for that, lol

And finally i learnt my lesson, dont try to make over 500 sweets in one afternoon....... make them in the days before, hehe

Divali is always so much work, but i love it.

Now its on to Eid ul Fitr............... cant wait to go by someone for some sawine and then some curry goat with roti
mmmmmmm

Hmmm the only downside to today was that there were a group of IDIOTS walking around and handing out papers and articles on hinduism being a false religion. HOW dare they come to a hindu household an insist that we read this crap??? F**K that, go to any household on Divali and giving out stuff like that.

GRRRRRR, Heck some people even refuse the sweets that we give out on Divali, saying that we prayed on it. We provided blessings for the sweets. If they went by someone and they said grace before the meal, would they refuse it also? Good grief the level of ignorance of people is astounding. Mind you there are a few people here in the religion section who would fall into that category quite nicely. The stupid c*nts.
