November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Okay .. JazekAllah khair that is sensible reminder.  So I will take 35 mins as the standard time length.

Thanks Sis Heba.  Very useful addition to be remembered.   My apology I forgot to mention this point.

Just remember, it can be a bit misleading on a cloudy day with overcast sky when, even after 15 minutes the atmosphere may look quite dark.  Yet that wouldn't be the time for Iftar.  It's best to keep a standard length of time e.g. 35 minutes regardless of the weather.  This way one makes sure they stay on track for the right time.

If you can wait up to 35 minutes it would be ideal for this location.  Otherwise I think it's certainly necessary to wait at least 25 minutes.

I am also in Canada, west coast.  And this season is the first time I began Iftar exactly as given in the Quran.  Before I used to follow the hadith rule of Iftar dot at Maghrib which my family still does.  So, would you advise that I wait for 35 minutes after Maghrib prayer?

Well yes, I would think 25 minutes is okay even if slight remnants of light are still there.  I guess not a big problem.

Generally after the sun sets it takes about 25 to 30 minutes for the sky to transition from twilight to complete darkness. However, there may still be some residual light in the sky for a little longer.  This happens in summer months and also in places located at higher latitudes.  E.g. here in Canada which is very far up north from the equator, it takes about 35 to 40 minutes from sunset to get completely dark.  If it’s closer to the equator like Pakistan or Afghanistan, it takes max 25 for sunset to last.  So it depends on one’s location.  My family and I in Canada wait for about 35 minutes before we start Iftar.

Yesterday Ramadan 6, Iftar time 7.26 p.m. so I waited for darkness (leil) until 7.50 p.m. that is, 25 minutes.  When I looked out it was still not dark by definition.  But I was finding it hard to wait any longer, and other people of my family who take Iftar dot at Maghrib time were also coaxing me to start eating.  My point is if I wait up to 25 minutes and it’s still not fully dark outside, can I start eating?
This is strange.  25 minutes after Maghrib should be dark.

Right.  We take our niyyah for granted and then unexpectedly some emergency happens next day and we can't fast.  Should always say INSHALLAH and make a quick niyyah.
