Surviving Ramadan Guide (Advanced)
I am using a throwaway account and Tor to hide my identity. I 'll ATTEMPT to keep this short as possible, but I can 't make any promises. Ignore the terrible grammar and structure, its the content that counts.
So as an ex muslim for 6 years, being female with quite strict parents, I have done certain things to survive this month. Ramadan often feels like purgatory or even hell for those who don 't believe and even those who do believe, do not seem to enjoy it either. Unless you muslim hardcore, well then, have a blast, I guess.
I 'm not sure if its just me but it seems as if muslims around us become more religious, annoying, grouchy and even aggressive during this unholy month. But lets have a little sympathy, …show more content…
Pretend you have read a whole chapter....but ensure it is believable. If they ask you why you relocated to your room, say it was too cold/hot or make something up. Have any excuse ready in your mind, so you can use them promptly without being lost for words.
Periods For girls, we are blessed to have periods during this month. It is our savior. I have noticed that faking your period during the middle of ramadan, people around you are less likely to keep 'tabs ' on it since time seems to fly two weeks in. Last year I faked it for two weeks and nobody noticed. Just don 't eat too much in front of them during this time.
If someone in your family requests "evidence" of your period (this apparently happened to a girl on here last year), make a joke about how strange that is and possibly haram.

No matter the consequences, unless your from a religious country with religious parents....
Faking an illness
Make it realistic if you are going to fake an illness. You could go in deep and photoshop or edit a doctors note diagnosing you with a liver disease or something, so you do not have to …show more content…

Dealing with annoying religious people
- Listen to music: Put secrets headphones in (easier if you wear a hijab) make sure the music isn 't too loud. Nod every time they speak. Smile once or twice to make yourself look like a good listener.
Boys: Get those wireless headphones
Alternative method: Become more annoyingly religious than them, so they stay away/avoid from you. Quote hadiths and quranic verses. Hey, maybe even start rapping it. Be spontaneous.
Sleeping Routine
What I did last year was I ate for suhoor (might be the wrong terminology used here, it has been a while), was I actually never woke up for it because I ate around 11pm and told nobody to disturb me.
Maybe I 'm wrong but its not completely fardh for you to wake up at ridiculous hours to eat.The purpose of this is to ensure you aren 't completely starving during the day. Just communicate this to your family.
If your family come to your room to wake you up, act groggy and do not give in. Always assert your rights. Say something like "I already ate before" or you have a stomach ache. Or if they are completely bonkers, just go eat a date and go back to
