The bravest of our muslim community are the converts, may Allah bless them and make them steadfast in their deen. Amin.
Ameen. We tend to take them for granted. God guiding them is a blessing both for them and for us. He's strengthening our community by doing so. AlhamdulIllah

@@sylvainrelax what's that?
Islamic terrorists hunt down people who do not fast during Ramadan. Why would anyone support this cause ?
Muslim's fast not by compassion, they fast because they are forced to do so by Islamic extremists.
@@bricla9178 Lol ... keep dreaming honey.
It made me really sad to see the convert in the video share his pain of not getting love and support from family like other muslims often do around this time. I want to wish him a Ramadan Kareem and Eid Mubarak!!! May Allah reward you for being so strong 💕
Assalam alaikum. A lot of us life-long Muslims don't have loving families or (any) friends. People are getting more and more selfish.
R J wait so are you a convert or were you born to a Muslim family?
@@MeMe-nz1qe Assalam alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa barakatuhu. I am not a revert. I was born into a Muslim family.
@@rjpoetry3319 maybe because of the lifestyle of yours make ur people selfish because why I live in Malaysia and we are living happily as muslim eating together with family spending our time with family during 1st day of Syawal.and dont bring religion just because ur family is selfish
agreed
I’m 19. I’m converting before this years ramadan. Don’t have any family members that are Muslim or anyone near me but it’s not stopping me. I’m so excited to experience my first ramadan ❤️
Alhmadulilah.. i hope u will be more at peace with urself after this n may allah guide u throughout ur days
God bless you 🖤
Hi❤
I am a new convert. I did the first week very strict like I was supposed to but it affected my mental health very badly... I hope I will have more strength in the future
Can you do it this ramadan❤🤣😓
To all my revert brothers and sisters,I have huuuugeeee respect for you guys and the effort you put in to understand this religion.Sometimes the muslims who are born into this religion take forgranted the blessings they have been given in terms of guidance.If we are to build a true islamic community,we need to help each other lift each other up.Massive respect for all.
Imagine fasting for 20h
Only eating food for 4 hours
2 of those hours your sleeping but everything for allah swt I love you Allah 💜
Salam alaukim erika are you married ??
@@user-zo3sx9yd8s omg 😒
First day of Ramadan.
"Let me sleep...No energy..."
Last day of Ramadan.
"I can take the whole world!"
Lol
Hahahaha that is true though
On Point
Really got eyes watery to hear the last guy speak on how he doesn’t have any loved ones to talk to during the end of Ramadan.. to that man, I say I am your family and at every Eid, I wish you an Eid Mubarak and A Ramadan Mubarak at the beginning of it .. May Allah continue to strengthen your seen and increase your knowledge, May Allah guide you and make you among the successful. Ameeen❤️❤️❤️
Ameen.!
We're All In It Together.
My Brother Talking at the end of the Video... i am convert to and fast by myself without love and support of my family .. the tears you cry are for Allah ❤️ keep your heart strong and know you are not alone even if it seems so much like it. But Allah is alwayyyysss with you !! ❤️❤️❤️
And now you belong to a family of 1.7 billion muslims who loves you as one of their brother/sister.
Assalamualikum
All powers to u from a brother from Indian occupied kashmir
Gosh I loved this. Loved learning new things about Ramadan! I was seriously undereducated about the concept, I now realize.
Blessings to you all!
I have a lot of non-muslim friends who were fasting for a whole day throughout Ramadan. I was quite shock at first but now I'm feel happy cuz I'm not the only one who starve... LOL...
Happy fasting everyone from a Malaysian muslim.
I’m not Muslim but I’m also fasting for Ramadan
Way to acknowledge your white guilt!
Das Snek I’m not white I’m just a Mexican born in the United States 🤣🤣🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
@@lVladness do you follow Islam? If not, I don't know why you would do that
i hope you're doing great! salaam ramadan
Way to go, dude! Hope it's going well.
During college, my best friend there, a Sunni Muslim, was observing Ramadan. Being a Catholic Christian (at the time), I understood it as a ramped-up version of Lent, so I joined him in it for a week of it to see it's like for myself. At the start of my week and with the three basic rules of Ramadan that he shared with me, I assessed it thusly: during daylight hours, no food (done that voluntarily numerous times, not going to be tough for me), no drink, not even water (we're in South Central Texas in summer and studying at Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos - this might kill me), and no entertainment unless it is educational (Mythbusters, anyone?). So how did it go? Well, obviously, despite my fears of the no drink rule, I'm still alive (yeah, I know it was all in my head and I knew then the survival times for not having water) and I do not regret that week at all. It did make me even more appreciative of my clean water than I already was before - and we binge-watched Mythbusters during our periods of inactivity.
During that week, I had joked about the possible origins of various Islam rules and rituals. For the no drink rule, I joked that it likely (in my mind) came from Islam originating in the desert, and that it instills an appreciation and caring for your water and its source, thus compelling to protect and maintain it. I had also joked that the ban of drinking alcohol was probably because of Europeans; Islam was founded around 622 (though I don't know when this ban was started) and they had likely had to save too many drunken Europeans who got lost in the desert - that Muslims essentially went, "This stuff is causing too many problems for people. Get rid of it." Was I delirious from thirst? Maybe - I did want to see Tom Cruise win an Oscar, so you tell me.
To this day, I deeply respect anyone with the willpower to get through the month of Ramadan - or one week of it, or even a day. It is grueling, but the end does give you a strong sense of satisfaction. For those who observe Ramadan, whenever or however you observe it, my hat's off to you.
@David Richardson thank you for the respctful way you talked about Ramadan. And congratulations for fasting a whole week. Is not easy and that is why the reward we hope for is huge also.
Your jokes were funny, in a way you are right about the water. We shouldn´t waste it. The alcohol part made me laugh, it could some bedouins though of like that hahahhaha, but as it says in teh Qur´an, alcohol has many benefits but its harms are greater than its benefits. One big harm being teh ability of not having control over your body and intellect.
My hat´s is off to you too, is difficult to see someone talk about soething ISlamic and/or muslims the way you talked about both. Thank you
Ramadan Mubarak.
Best comments i saw today on internet. Ramadan Mubarak david 🌹
Thank You
Don't drink coffee during the eating hours and you will never get thirsty. Don't drink coke and any caffeine drinks.
Ramadan Kareem everyone 😍
Thanks
This is so wonderful to see may Allah tala bless all our brothers and sisters around the world
Ameen
Ameen!!
Mashallah! Wherever you are in the world, I hope you have an amazing month!
As an American convert living in Egypt (who does not speak Arabic), I am struggling a lot during Ramadan. My husband (an Egyptian) is wonderfully kind and supportive however I still feel incredibly lonely.
Assalaam alaikum sister. I am an American convert too. I understand what it is to still feel lonely, even when you've got someone who is supportive of you, especially when it feels like everyone else has their families who they can share Ramadan with. This is my first Ramadan and I take every suhoor and iftar alone. I'm not able to visit mosque for iftar because I'm working. I actually break my fast late. It could be very easy for me to feel discouraged and think of how sad and lonely my situation is to be celebrating this blessed month on my own but instead I try to think of it as, "How strong you are for being committed to Allah. Look at you doing this all on your own! But in fact you aren't doing this alone, Allah is always with you and he is admiring and acknowledging your efforts." Inshallah may he make it easier for us sister. If you need anyone to reach out to, you can message me! I know it's not the same being physically able to meet, but I've also gotten so much encouragement from other convert sisters that I have spoken to online.
May Allah ease your struggling. Ameen
Waaleykum mussalam warahma tull lahi wabarakatull, May Allah subbhana wa taalah make easy for you inshah Allah, you need company to support you practice your Islam inshah Allah. Take care of yourself.
@@shabanmaulana8594 walaikum asalaam, thank you for your kind words.
Very nice video that can de-mystify a holiday most Americans are ignorant of. I am not religious at all, but appreciate anything that educates and humanizes those that are too often horribly demonized here. Eid Mubarak, from one humanist atheist.
cloudofthought Eid Mubarak to you as well. And FYI you are an awesome person. You do not need religion to be a respectful human being and that is what you are, a respectful person.
This month is so beautiful...
Sara Mahmoud, More innocent people get murdered during this time
@@analyzingsources6157??? Are saying this seriously?
I am arab-American but not Muslim and this video I like. I always consider fasting even though am not Muslim for the culture. I like video shows what my friends go through.👍
I have the English version Quran app on my phone it's helped me out with some rough patches.
Thank you
@Kinda Linda still , intently flaming flames isn't a good thing
@Kinda Linda yeah whatever keep trumptarding ...
but if u have to do it just wait another 5 yrs till they get over it , otherwise the Mossad is as usual going to assassinate u and blame on muslims ^ , religions these days are a punchbag for policy and diplomacy ,

Ramadan Mubarak 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Last Friday I break my fast in Makkah 🕋 الحمدلله
I just want to say a few things to new Muslims or just people who may not know this , as a Muslim who fasts in a Muslim country and who fasts also when it's not Ramadan , so I kinda understand when you can't eat anything while everyone around you is stuffing food .
you don't actually have to do suhoor at 4:00 am in the morning , especially if you work in the morning or have school , what I did when I fasted outside the month of Ramadan , is I just did suhoor basically like at midnight and directly went to sleep , so I was able to normally wake up in the morning .
another advice I can give and something that I've noticed by watching different videos is that converts or Muslims fasting in non Muslim countries , they make it so hard for themselves by putting such an importance on food , I understand it may be difficult at first , but food isn't a big deal , if we look at it scientifically , the first humans weren't eating 3 meals a day , maybe 1 meal that consisted primarily of meat every 3-5 days .
anyway , that was just a few tips I wanted to give you and Ramadan Mubarak to you guys , respond to this comment if you have any questions , I'll be happy to answer .
Salam alaukim my brother you can help me im married i have two kids wallah i life in bad room if you can call me see my room and my kids jazaka allah kheir wallah im sad 00212638791419
إِنْ تُبْدُوا الصَّدَقَاتِ فَنِعِمَّا هِيَ وَإِنْ تُخْفُوهَا وَتُؤْتُوهَا الْفُقَرَاءَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْكُمْ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ
Alhamdulillah. May Allah bless you. Ramadan Mubarak.
Masha Allah, I love you guys, May Allah subbhana wa taalah accept your Ramadan inshah Allah. Ramadan mubarak to you all.
Gosh.. i am tearing after watch the last guy video...
May Allah ease your journey bro.. be strong and keep believe in ALLAH...
Wish more of your family will be in this journey with you as well
Assalamualaikum to all humankind in this world/dunia/duniya/dunya
love this!
Amazing. This video made me cry.
Beautiful, Ma sha Allah. Thank you for sharing!
I felt bad for the lady that was breaking the fast alone
Love Letter
The most saddest is... You can't take any longer and have to break fast half day ;(
@@Eizy_Art hmmmm , never did , but its allowed in two cases , out of necessity of course & the training age .
she doesn't perceive it that way (god is everywhere ^^)
lemane lemso
Yes, sometimes I have to break because work to hard until get stomachace or need to swallow a pill
@@Eizy_Art u should see a doc , and if he says that its not healthy for u than ur not obliged (a muslim doc would be preferable )
This inspired me more to do my very best during Ramadan. RAMADAN MUBARAK EVERYONE.
Elias brother if you are reading this Eid Mubarak to you and dont feel alone the entire muslim community around the world is with you.
Ramadan mubarek -
Tuant you .are you muslim ?? I help you my whatsup 00212638791419
I'm not Muslim but this made me emotional to see the sacrifice, dedication, and humanity in this short video
2020 Ramadan... May almighty Allah accept our every single good deeds and forgive us our sins Ameen thumma Ameen.....
Lots of hate being spewed here, but don't let it tear you down. We are meant to love our neighbors, and there are people all over the world sending you love.
Jesus taught this. Buddhism teaches it. And Muslims live it daily. Every true follower of Islam I've talked to has been kind and compassionate.
Remember to practice love and generosity daily, as it's the Key.
Sincerely, your agnostic brother in God.
Ramadan Mubarak to all the new converts and umate Muslima. 🙏🕋💐💝💟
I was surprised when the young girl said that her non Muslims friends are fasting with her and hope she keep her iman strong! Very nice! 😊😌👍🏽
Thats so beautiful ❤️ ramadan mubarak everybody
Salam alaukim jazakum allah kheir where are âgé you from

The hardest part for me is not smoking for sixteen hours
What benefit that you get when you smoking? Can smoking cure Cancer?
Amazing just Amazing
Religion Islam is a religion of peace, good morals and safety
I Love Ramadan. Masha Allah happy Ramadan.
Next episode please
Salam...Stay Strong for Ramadan...2020... (Allah is the Greatest)...Whatever happens Consults to Allah... (2020..is Quarantine Year...in M'sia)..but i am Grateful...that i've Done my Tarawih.. (With my Family)...It's Family Bonding that sometimes we Take 4 Granted... (Malaysia)...
anyone fasting in ramadan 2020??????
The one ALLAH guides can never be alone. It was so overwhelming to see that Muslim brother share his loneliness and at the same time admitting that the ummah stands with him while he feels alone. No religion on earth can bring people close to each other as Islam can
Man I give hella props to the revert may Allah bless him
1:17 the punishmant for breaking the fast on purpose is 2 months of fasting so keep that in mind, I know 7 year old that fast whole days. I ran a mile and did weight training and still finished the day smh.
Ramadan
Masha Allah
May the peace and blessings be upon Muhammad, his Family, his companions and all prophets.
Only 2 months left for Ramadan.
Ramadan Kareem all.
Believe me reverts are the best among our ummah. May Allah give them Rahmath and Barkath for the struggle they are going through. Ameen
Assalamualaikum happy Ramadan Mubarak Ramadan Kareem from India
Ramadhan Mubarak my dear brothers sisters
Thanks
The beauty of living in America is that as long as we have freedom of speech and religion, all can worship as they choose. It is always good to gather and feast with family on religious holidays. In America, we celebrate because we are different.
I loved it when he prayed in the trial room
Happy Ramadan
1:31 it's a holy month with holy days not holidays
Happy month of Ramadan all of you, peace be upon all of Americans,
2h after ramadan im hangry😢
Wish it was like this this year

Good Ramadan I like it
I started to watch this then stopped because I would like to make a reaction video to this on my channel.
Peace on the converts this blessed month❤️❤️
Ramadhan kareem TZ ana zanzibar
my father is 72 years old, diabetic patient and last year he had open heart surgery. he is fasting this year .... If u try god will help u.

For those who didn't know some Sahabas( Muhammad PBUH friends) even fought wars while fasting!
Sadly this Ramadan amid Corona virus no iftar gatherings!
Happy remadan
Salam alaukim jazakum allah kheir you can help me kids and my wife for mouth ramadane im poor man jazakalahu kheir
A little Ramadan trick take ur food from ur office and or school and save it up for iftar

Ramadan fast or any other fast begins at -BREAK OF DAWN AND NOT AT SUNRISE, BUT ENDS AT SUNSET.
ALHAMDULILLAH ALAA KULL HAAL. MAY ALLAH REWARD Y'ALL
My husband's family are Christians and they fast as well, if they need guidance from their God, then they fast for the day and pray. They also fast for health reasons. The don't drink any drinks with caffeine, they do not drink alcohol or smoke.
what this is last year, its not eid yet lol
كل عام وانتم بخير
2:34 you call this fasting?
Rookies!
I really do not hate America. I just dont. Butt sometimes i just think that whole America is hating our religion voor some reason. And clips like this, show me they dont. Thank you! And sorry for my pore English, im a Marocain guy from Holland. So its not perfect hahahha. Much love from Holland❤️
I really don’t get this holiday. No offense tho like really, what’s the point😕
RuDy ZaNaBrIa Zr non offence taken. No harm in not understanding something. At least you are aware of your lack knowledge of it and that is honorable.
Dude you are on RUclips all it takes a quick research...
U tell me Quran book 78:33?
the convert muslim things will become batter don´t worry
1:25 even if you're dying of tasty o hungry nothing should make your fast break except as follows, bleeding,vomiting,injections, and may Allah forbid when you are seek you cannot fast but do not get tired I'm In Italy, hot and dry with hard Labour 17 hours tough but let's manage.
No, you should break your fast if you think you'll vomit.
of course you can break the fast if you are dying...get knowledge about do and donts concerning saum/fasting in Islam
injections is allowed if its for medications
vomitting wont effect the fasting unless you do it on purpose
