Sorry, it’s probably because I’m fasting.

1:00
Hour Until Iftar

Brother 2:
…Looking/points at his watch…

Oh man..
Look at that..
One more hour till we can eat.

Brother 1:
Oh, yes!

Brother 2:
Can’t wait, I’m starving!

Brother 1:
Can’t wait till it’s over!
Whoa..whoa..whoa..whoa!

Brother 2:
What?
Ahh man..
Ahh.that’s..that’s not right!

Brother 1:
Nah..nah..
It’s all right..it’s all right.
First look, first look…first look, first look…
First look, first look…first look, first look….
Uhh Ooh!

Brother 3:
Boys!
What are you doing?
Are you really fasting?

Brother 2:
Yeah..

Brother 1:
Of course..
We haven’t eaten all day.

Brother 3:
Look..
Fasting isn’t just about not eating and drinking. You don’t just fast with your stomachs - your whole bodies have to fast.

That means..
Your tongues have to fast..
Your ears have to fast..
Your eyes have to fast..
and
Also your whole bodies.

Most people when they fast - all they gain is hunger and thirst.
Don’t be one of those people.
Actually make the most of this Ramadan and don’t miss out on the reward.

Does that make sense?

Brothers 1 & 2:
…Indistinct…

Yeah..
Thanks.

Brother 3:
Sure.

Brothers 1 & 2:
…Indistinct…

Jazakallah Kheir

Brother 3:
May Allah help us all.
Assalamualaikum.

Brothers 1 & 2:
…Indistinct…

Ameen..
Waalaikumsalam..
Waalaikumsalam bro..

Brother 2:
Hey..
You know what man..
I think he’s got a point.

Brother 1:
Yeah, I know..
It’s true.

Brother 2:
Yeah..
We need to make changes this Ramadan.

Brother 1:
Yeah..
No more backbiting..
Lower our gaze..
No more listening to music..
And just…
Would be good this Ramadan.

Brother 2:
Sure.
Eh man, look..
It’s almost time for Maghrib (sunset prayer)..
Why don’t we go read some Quran?

Brother 1:
Yeah..
Let’s go.

Brother 2:
All right.

“Perhaps A Person Fasting Will Receive Nothing But Hunger And Thirst”
