Just Gimme a Buzz When Ramadan is Over!

Ya gama3a, I'm one person who truly believes in miracles, but this 29 day phenomenon is quite a stun!! Begad, we all see that snowball coming up, out of a bunch of sleeping freaks!! Never has it been heard of at any other country that there's a whole month where all the commotion takes a snooze. Well not all actually, cuz shisha and night fun really fire up!!

Temporarily Out of Service

See, that's how it goes; one of the shabab can't fast. It's so tough to quit smoke or cola drinks through the day ya 3een ommo ya khooya! So he decides to slip out by waking up with the call of maghreb prayer! That's why I call it the holy hibernating month :-S One night after the other, oodles of teens wake up with maghreb prayer, then stay up all night until fajr. Eah ya 3am ana waraya eah? Maho it doesn’t make sense to wake up every morning and stay all day without a bite or a drink, not to mention that it's impossible to stay without a smoke!! Classes can wait a couple or more weeks. Training, work, family, ommy bettala3 felroo7, all should pause until Ramadan is over!! How more droopy can they get???? Eah el moseeba de! A bunch of people, don’t even see sunlight for a whole month? It's a supernatural phenomenon akeeed. The question is, if I sleep all through the fasting period, would that count? I personally knew a guy who owned a business, and would sleep all day just like those vampire creeps and wake up at maghreb. His recruits rarely ran into him during Ramadan. Customer complaints piled up and of course he made zero sales all through the month.

The Sister Act Flip

It's a great thing to wanna be pious in Ramadan and to improve religious activity. Ma7adesh yefhamny ghalat, but this definitely doesn't apply to those flipping in and out of the religious frame before and after fitar. It just doesn’t feel right to remove all makeup in the morning, and then stay up all night at a cafĂ© smoking shisha!! Some guys also avoid seeing girls and forbid shaking hands, so ya'7dooh men 2aseero and just stay at home. Well I've got bad news!! Ramadan is sort of a package. So when I believe I shouldn't be doing certain acts, I should hold them all through the month, not only during the fast!!! Plus that my daily duties should continue as usual and even better. Being a lazy bum at home in no way indicates that I'm working harder.


Return of the Pied Piper

The worst of all is the hypnotizing effect of el kheeba el ramadaneyya. El leela we kol leela, as the night kicks off, these shisha, night only gatherings start. I don't really blame el shabab for having to go there because practically there is no where else to go to in Ramadan. It's sort of compulsory:-S but it doesn’t have to hook you up. I swear that at one of those kheemas, that I had been to, the air was almost foggy from the trapped smoke of shisha. When we first sat there, it was sort of a friendly fun gathering … until the music started. It ended up that a bunch of my friends and I, were sitting around a table and could barely hear each other talk!! After some time, and with all the smoke and blasting rhythm I got knocked over. Oh my gosh, I really think people who go there every night are hypnotized or something, because it's not even fun!! But guys seem to find a cheaper substitute for their guy gatherings. So instead of el kheeba el ramadaneyya, it's el kheeba el te2eela awy, common cafes. It's like a routine for guys to meet 3al 2ahwa after fitar every night all through Ramadan. Some head for big ones in malls and fancy spots. Some feel content about the ones on the street, smoking shisha with pollutant, and enjoying the ear-popping music and traffic horns. Dool day3een rasmy!!

It Gets Real Gummy :-O

Stepping into all three habits gets even sloppier if you don't recognize you're getting caught into it. That guy with the business I mentioned earlier, things got worse with him. At one point it wasn’t even necessary to eat with the athan. Made him no harm to sleep until 3esha and start his life from that point. This definitely isn't fasting nor is it Ramadan, it's the stupidest way for self torture.

I Say We Kill the Beast!!!

When things get real messy, it's time to make a plan. It's just so obvious how some teens don’t recognize what they wanna do. I mean if you really believe you need to get more pious in Ramadan then do your best to satisfy your wish. If you think you should be moderate, then don’t trick yourself halfway through the day and then get loose afterwards. I would take it easy and try my best without having to fake anything I am not doing for myself. Above all get serious guys … fun is not only at night and not necessarily at those kheemas. Ya3ny if you make a gathering at someone's house or on a Nile felouka, you'll still enjoy. After all it won't harm to give it a try. Kabbar demaghak and don’t be like those creeps. It would just kill them if you started a new fun and Ramadan friendly habit. If you feel you wanna start religious gatherings to read Quran or to talk about religious stuff, take the lead. Spit it out and don’t feel odd. The important thing is to do what you feel is right. And next time when you need to take some time off fasting by sleeping, it's no harm at all. El mohem don’t give up completely, if you know what I mean :-)

When you're over those habits, Ramadan will feel so much different. You won't need to hibernate until it's over.
