Did you worry about silly things that could break your roza?
Ramazan is upon us in full swing and it’s the month we’re all at our best behaviors. Or so we’d like to believe. We take extra care and try not to swear or curse, to control our tempers, to be kind do others and do good deeds. Even though we know we’re going to sleep off most of the day, our hearts are in the right place. And while we know the basics of what breaks our roza and what doesn’t, there have been some really bizarre things that we have believed, growing up, jin se humara roza toot jaata hai.
So we wondered aloud what were silly things we worried could break your roza?
Here are the funniest comments from you guys.
1. “my 20 years old brother still goes to the wash basin to spit after every 2 seconds fearing that his own saliva could break his roza“
2. “my brother used to keep a tissue box with him so when even a bit of mucous forms he can immediately clean his mouth”
3. “when I was little i used hold my poo so it won’t break my roza. :/”
So we decided to ask around the office and see what else people used to believe would break their fast
4. Watching TV could definitely break your roza, effective immediately
5. Laughing out too loudly was a big concern in case it could break your roza
6. Looking at someone from the opposite sex
7. Hearing the word ‘sex’
8. Putting on lipstick
9. Or putting on any make up whatsoever, so you end up looking like a bhoot
10. Talking back to your parents (we think this one might have been planted)
11. Skipping a namaaz meant instantly foregoing your roza
Technically this is not a silly fear because namaaz is a big element of praying.
So what have you grown up believing will break your roza? Let us know! Okay byeee ~
