  • We have spent many years coming to Malaysia and are aware of how amazing this period of the year is.
    It's a very sacred time for many in Malaysia as it's the month of Ramadan, as foreigners it's important to respect and truly understand the sacrifice many make each day of Ramadan by fasting.
    We were kindly invited to an Iftar in Kuala Lumpur and there was no better time to try fasting ourselves for the first time.
    How did we cope? What did we do? How did we break fast at the Iftar? How did a British person and a Italian person manage it?
    We all know someone who is practicing Islam, but we don't all know how difficult fasting is on a daily basis - I'd definitely recommend everyone to try this to really understand the sacrifices that are made and get a better understanding of Ramadan. (It's more than just the amazing food at Ramadan Bazaars, you know!).
    Let us know how you think we did?

    We are Pat & Giulia, a couple from 🇬🇧 and 🇮🇹 living in London.
    We decided to go travelling and ended up living getting stuck in Malaysia during 2020 which spurred the creation of this channel, we're now back on the road after a lengthy hiatus!
    We're Malaysian enthusiasts who enjoy discovering spots off the tourist trail and don’t like taking ourselves too seriously. We're not here to be vloggers or to be famous, we're not necessarily here to "inspire" anyone to travel either - just enjoy the spontaneous fun of it, weird situations and of course making local friends.

    Welcome to Msia & nice to meet you all here. in Islam, fasting teach us to feel how the poor people feel with there are no food to eat & drink safe water. so the rich can give some food to the poor people & to prevent the poor people to rob for food. Also hope for country that is on war in east west to cease fire. TQ for this video.😍✌

    1. Inviting them for Iftar
    2. Preparing special food (because both of them are vegetarian)
    3. Packing favorite food for takeaway
    4. Sent them home
    That is a very great courtesy of your friend. Utmost respect 😉😉

    Fasting is not just avoiding foods and drinks but to control our desire to all sorts of temptations.. besides for remembrance to those who are unfortunate. To feel and take fasting as lesson learnt to improve our life, faith and attitude.

  • @user-lw8xj6bl6z
    @user-lw8xj6bl6z Před 5 měsíci +32

    Another benefit of the Ramadan fasting is that you're humbling yourself to be better human and in solidarity of the poor people without food. Experiencing their thirst and hunger in controlled environment so that you know what the exact things the poor needed and to give back to the society as a whole.

  • @annourzz9419

    When you're a Muslim, he or she can niat and du'a so that you will not be hungry, thirsty, sleepy, tired or for any good cause that you would want or wish while you're fasting, Subhanallah, Allah will fulfill sooner or later, As Muslim you need to be patient and always 'bersyukur' and thankful to Allah. Wallahu'alam.

    • Fasting starts from dawn to sunset in the month of Ramadan.
    • This is a fast that is obligatory for Muslims who meet the conditions set by God.
    • There is also fasting that is not obligatory in other months.
    -------------------------------------------------

    -------------------------------------------------
    Summary of the purpose of fasting :
    • Commemorating the hardships of the poor

    18:50 usually in malay culture, in any event or party, those who leave the last is consider among the close friends or relatives to the host. So don't worry, you were not overstay. The host will feel glad and appreciate if you are among the last to leave as guest.

    For tips, if you're heading to events like celebrations or feasts, it's a good idea to rock traditional Malaysian attire like Baju Melayu for guys or Baju Kurung for ladies. It adds a nice touch of elegance and respectfulness to the occasion, making both of you shine a bit brighter. Plus, it's always appreciated when outsiders embrace Malaysian tradition at certain gatherings.

    You both are very lucky to experience this moment while in Malaysia.. i cannot help it but smile when you tried to remember and pronounce "pucuk ubi poo-chuk uu-bee and terung ter-rong) 😅
    By the way.. Usually the OG Malay (elderly kampung person) will avoid eating "pucuk ubi" when it was on dry and hot season.. because it will make you feel dizzy.. it just an old tips...

  • @vibnwis
    @vibnwis Před 5 měsíci +11

    Fasting is similar to intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is 16 fasting hours and eating for 8 hours. There are two types of fasting, drying fasting, no water, and liquid fasting, which can drink water.

  • @rosefahima

    12.hours, 25-30 minutes only of fasting if you ate sahur around 5am-5.30am, or much later before subuh azan/call for prayer

  • @nadiahlotfy2187
    @nadiahlotfy2187 Před 5 měsíci

    She is sort of right in saying fasting gets easier the longer you go. Because we do it every day for a whole month the body gets used to it and after the first two three days it gets much much easier. So working while fasting is actually easier than it sounds.

Is that Malaysian batik? Also, I wonder if Julia will wear " baju kurung" for the future occasion, perhaps for Hair Raya.

    You not overstay but up to yourself, if you want to excuse yourself just tell to the host that invite you to their house, and it’s a custom in Malay tradition providing some of food to bring back home ( but that tradition is almost gone in town area) but if you go to Malay traditional village you may find the tradition a still been done today
