I heard from people more often than not that gaining weight is FAR more common during Ramadan. With that in mind, I went in thinking I would gain a ton of weight and would need to lose it afterwords, but alhamdulillah I lost over ten pounds already! I guess when you have the right intentions, you get an even greater reward. (:

yes, it is haram. you have to fast with the intention that it’s solely for the sake of Allah . losing weight is just a good result from it and i guess it will encourage people to fast more :P Allahu A3lam.

Very awesome post.

But the fasting in Ramadan part for losing weight is haram. My friend told me that if you even think of fasting for losing weight is haram. So I don’t know about that part but the rest of the post is great!

This was a beautiful article :). Not only does it give advice on how to lose weight but the way you used the advice that was given from the Prophet (Saw) and from the Quran and put it in perspective really helped put more depth in the beauty of their words. It’s amazing how much we can learn from these sources, but sad how much of it we overlook.

I love this article. I wish Muslims all over the world understand that gluttony is a sin. The way some people eat is ridiculous. Then you see people with no food and wonder what is wrong with the world. Why aren’t people following or even understanding the basics of religion anymore.

what i love most is how this was all revealed to the Prophet CENTURIES before modern day scientists started discovering these things :) subhanAllah ♥

I was just talking about this last night with my dad. Our scale in the bathroom was broken yesterday, it said i lost 5 pounds, and i was very happy not knowing the scale wasnt right, but when my dad came home, he fixed it, it was back to normal. it was a bummer, but i remembered the holy month of ramadan coming around, and aside from seeing friends and family every night, i’m so excited, because i feel so healthy and waste free, and i always lose some weight. Allah (swt), indeed, knows best. Mashallah, i like this post a lot
