Now, why would you not eat at Sehri.... han?

Ugh, this is such a constant problem with boys and men.

case in point, my youngest brother… we have to force him to eat -
i literally place the cereals or omelets and a glass of milk next to him as he is trying very hard to wake up for sehri and he is 20.
& then i have a friend of mine, who is 29, and he, too, cannot get himself to eat, in fact ‘he does not feel like eating’ for a 12+ hour long fast. & he works 12+ hours, too.

my dear, special angels won’t come down to drag you out of your slumber, to softly feed you or make you go to the food with excitement. so there.

well, my recommendations: it is true that getting up so early in the morning is not quiet their virtue. yet, it has to be done, so why not do it, whole heartedly. hmm?

when u get up for sehri, eat something which is most nutritious and u like eating it. so it does not feel that u are ‘pushing’ food down ur throat, mere eating for the sake of fast. & sleep on time the night before, so that u get up well before sehri to prepare and eat & also be able to sip at tea or coffee.

sehri is a part of fasting, so it is to be observed as a proper beginning of the fast.

anybody else would like to share any suggestions for properly taking sehri, or stories which might make me feel a bit better that other females also feel that men they know, are lazy spoiled people. ha ha
& we obedient, nice, god- fearing young women (if not all, at least many), not only fix the sehri, but eat sehri like an ibadat. :>

chime.

Iam a girl and i never in my life rememeber waking up for sehri :hoonh:

Re: Now, why would you not eat at Sehri.... han?

Men are up before the ladies some days even with the alarms blaring, the girls sleep through it.

Have no problem eating left overs from the night before, always have Sehri!..

Re: Now, why would you not eat at Sehri.... han?

i cudnt survive without sehri:(

Re: Now, why would you not eat at Sehri.... han?

I survived it many times widout sehri.. but only if ma alarm doesnt go off..:D otherwise alwayz sehri..

Re: Now, why would you not eat at Sehri.... han?

thanks for everybody’s input thus far.
you are not understanding what I meant: i did say that not all
( but many) women get up and take sehri.
my intention was to highlight the health concern in skipping sehri. and not a bidding to make one gender better than the other.
that was supposed to be the humor in there. sorry if u missed it.
but any suggestions from men who do do think that they have a hard time getting up for sehri and other people in the house will be asking them to get up but for some reason they cannot?
if nothing else, it is not a good habit. because what if, u do fall weak during the fast,
and then u also wanted to be traveling, or working longer hours, then u will be tired.
& as i said earlier, sehri is a part of the fast itself.
the effort that is put in getting so early, and accepting this changed routine of eating and drinking, is an effort on our part to properly keep a fast.

Re: Now, why would you not eat at Sehri.... han?

Sometimes I'm just too tired to even wake up and eat for Sehri but Daddy said that your roza doesn't count if you don't. =\

Re: Now, why would you not eat at Sehri… han?

^ I dunno ive heard roza counts even if u dont get up for sehri..
i cant eat at sehri, coz 1) i’m too tired and 2) i just feel sick eating so early and 3) i cant sleep after eating (no matter how small the amt of food), i feel too full..so on days when I have classs, i’d rather have a proper amt of sleep, coz then i wont get cranky or irritated and u knw being *****y will break ur roza too :clown:
