Reality Check Posted October 21, 2004 Ok, so many of us lead busy lives, and we might not be home at afur time. My question to you is, where and how do you break your fast? 4 days out of the week, I have classes or a meeting at afur time. The first day was a trip. I was sitting in a small classroom and couldn't leave the class because the teacher was discussing something pertaining to our exam. I had an aluminum foil with cookies and Sour Cream and Onion chips in my bag. Problem is, it made so much noise that I really couldn't eat. And the class ended at 9 p.m.!!!! I learned my lesson and the next day I just bought M&Ms and pop. Well, that's my story. What's yours? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
- Femme - Posted October 21, 2004 Alhamdulliah I only have 3 classes so mine always end at 3 p.m. I have plenty of time to go home, relax, do some work, and eat later. Laakin on thursdays...I leave class at 730 p.m. SO I take something from the school cafeteria and eat in class. The professor doesnt mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted October 21, 2004 I will leave work in about 15mins, get on the motorway, drive at about 90mph (110mph if late)to get to families' house for Afur at about 6pm! That mu usual routine, leaving work early means i have to be in for about 8.15am in the morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NGONGE Posted October 21, 2004 I leave work an hour early, take my time going home and make it home on time. The food is already ready and waiting to be sampled of course. In the next couple of weeks, things will change! We’ll change from British Summer time and they’ll put the clocks back. I’ll have to break my fast on the tube on the way home. Or might linger around at work for an hour, break my fast then go home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viking Posted October 22, 2004 In the livingroom usually. Sometimes the adhan comes on while am still in the kitchen piling the sambuusas on a plate; WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS, I take a sip of water and toss a timir in the mouth while leaning on the fridge!

Iffah Posted October 22, 2004 If I'm working a night shift (as now) - I make sure I arrive @ the workplace early so I don't have to break my fast on the subway. And if it's a day shift, I break my fast @ work. The days I'm off I'll break it at home (my fav days ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Serenity- Posted October 22, 2004 I normally try to make it home to a ready made delicious meal ... but at times it so happens I'm on the train. I dont have the habit of carrying food or water so I just stick it out - could be 10-30mins. Hopefully when the clock turns back an hr, I'll do it at work.
