Our First Time Fasting for Ramadan, Malaysia 🇲🇾 | Iftar & Puasa - Kuala Lumpur 2024

We have spent many years coming to Malaysia and are aware of how amazing this period of the year is.
It's a very sacred time for many in Malaysia as it's the month of Ramadan, as foreigners it's important to respect and truly understand the sacrifice many make each day of Ramadan by fasting.
We were kindly invited to an Iftar in Kuala Lumpur and there was no better time to try fasting ourselves for the first time.
How did we cope? What did we do? How did we break fast at the Iftar? How did a British person and a Italian person manage it?
We all know someone who is practicing Islam, but we don't all know how difficult fasting is on a daily basis - I'd definitely recommend everyone to try this to really understand the sacrifices that are made and get a better understanding of Ramadan. (It's more than just the amazing food at Ramadan Bazaars, you know!).
Let us know how you think we did?

We decided to go travelling and ended up living getting stuck in Malaysia during 2020 which spurred the creation of this channel, we're now back on the road after a lengthy hiatus!
We're Malaysian enthusiasts who enjoy discovering spots off the tourist trail and don’t like taking ourselves too seriously. We're not here to be vloggers or to be famous, we're not necessarily here to "inspire" anyone to travel either - just enjoy the spontaneous fun of it, weird situations and of course making local friends.

    Welcome to Msia & nice to meet you all here. in Islam, fasting teach us to feel how the poor people feel with there are no food to eat & drink safe water. so the rich can give some food to the poor people & to prevent the poor people to rob for food. Also hope for country that is on war in east west to cease fire. TQ for this video.😍✌

    Fasting is not just avoiding foods and drinks but to control our desire to all sorts of temptations.. besides for remembrance to those who are unfortunate. To feel and take fasting as lesson learnt to improve our life, faith and attitude.

    Another benefit of the Ramadan fasting is that you're humbling yourself to be better human and in solidarity of the poor people without food. Experiencing their thirst and hunger in controlled environment so that you know what the exact things the poor needed and to give back to the society as a whole.

    When you're a Muslim, he or she can niat and du'a so that you will not be hungry, thirsty, sleepy, tired or for any good cause that you would want or wish while you're fasting, Subhanallah, Allah will fulfill sooner or later, As Muslim you need to be patient and always 'bersyukur' and thankful to Allah. Wallahu'alam.

    For tips, if you're heading to events like celebrations or feasts, it's a good idea to rock traditional Malaysian attire like Baju Melayu for guys or Baju Kurung for ladies. It adds a nice touch of elegance and respectfulness to the occasion, making both of you shine a bit brighter. Plus, it's always appreciated when outsiders embrace Malaysian tradition at certain gatherings.

Usually the OG Malay (elderly kampung person) will avoid eating "pucuk ubi" when it was on dry and hot season.. because it will make you feel dizzy.. it just an old tips...

    She is sort of right in saying fasting gets easier the longer you go. Because we do it every day for a whole month the body gets used to it and after the first two three days it gets much much easier. So working while fasting is actually easier than it sounds.
