Ramadan on its Way.......:)

sry for bad news adorman

But all GULF COUNTRIES HAVE A HOLIDAY IN RAMADAN exept qatar

i mean WHY??!?!?!?!?!??!

Im the one and only

Yea omar 84% voted that fasting will affect negatively on education.

Ramadan is not holiday but the usual my uni starts at 23/9 but this year at 14/9 :/

Yeah, but Ramadan is not a holiday despite some treating it as such. Eid is the holiday and time for celebration.

-------------------------------------

just have no school for a month! Great! sure the kids won't complain!

By the age of 11 most will fast. Some even earlier than that. It depends on the family. In my family when we were growing up we used to practise fasting on a Friday when we were at home. We were encouraged to make our own decision about when we felt we were able to 'go the whole hog'. (no reference to pork intended lol)

-------------------------------------

Do kids fast?

Life should go on as normal during Ramadan. Who can't fast with ease by staying up all night and then sleeping until the afternoon?

My schedule changes very little during the week. Basically eat and drink less and try to spend mre time in prayer and reflection.

Weekends are slighlty different with more emphasis on charitable activities and family obligations as well as extending invitations to staff and friends to join us for Iftar.

So, yes, school should go on as should work and more people should go to bed earlier in order to get up earlier.

I don't partcularly agree with everyone working shorter hours although I can see that allows more time to prepare Iftar and to read Quran.

-------------------------------------

thats why 84 percent voted that there should be school.

BTW MOE supervises not just Qatari Schools but Other schools too.

Ramadan on its Way.......:)

IT MEANS 84% ARENT SSUPPOSED TO GO TO SCHOOL

Im the one and only

I am THE PRODIGY

I heard about every one going on strike, and refusing to attend schools during the holy month.

I will be spending half of Ramadan here, unfortunately I will head back for university after that

Its hard to vote on the website when you dont understand Arabic...Anyway i say there should be school, besides school finish early here so theres plenty of time for rest afterwards..

lol gypsy

Ramadan on its Way.......:)

No Eco, they will spend their days in thought and contemplation about suffering and charity.

Many will go and do community work, volunteering with Reach Out To Asia for instance.

They will pray 5 times a day, and be awake all day long.

They will have a modest iftar, and then a small evening meal, before going to bed at 8pm, ready to get up before dawn for a small meal and then prayers.

They certainly won't be smoking sheesha all night long, or spending hours feasting in a ramadan tent. There will be no big parties, or social gatherings. Just a month of prayer and religious focus.

they will spend their time sleeping, they will miss thier prayers and will wake up just in time of Iftar.

School goes on. Cancelling during Ramadan defeats the whole purpose of Ramadan, life goes on.

Hoorah!

Maybe parents don't want grumpy, hungry kids around the house for the month!

Hey..It means 84 % voted that there should be school in Ramadan.So these lazies should go 2 school...

My God...

Lazy Qataris.

Isn't Ramadan supposed to be about experiencing for just one month what it's like to be poor and hungry?

It sounds like the message they want to send to children is

'Ramadan is about feeling pain and suffering, just without the pain and suffering. So stay home, sleep and play video games all day long. Just so long as you don't eat anything'.

Or is Ramadan just an opportunity for people to think that they are doing something virtuous and noble, but really it is experiencing the suffering of the poor, without either being poor or experiencing suffering.

... but I don't know what for as it's all in Arabic! What does the top button say (I clicked it!) and who is winning at 84%?

----------------------------------

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Go to school, why should you miss it?????

i vote they go to school during ramadhan, no doubt is the fasting mth but life goes should on as per normal

Life is what you make of it.......so quit B******G about it.

If I've got to work during Ramadan you're going to bloody school.
