as most of you know, the A levels is probably the most important exam one can take. i intend to go to a good university, maybe even the ivy league. however, it all depends on my A levels which is about a month from now.

the reality is that i probably have to study every waking second i can until the A levels. and fasting really zaps my energy.i really really cant concentrate to an extent where i feel really uneasy..

is it ok if i didnt fast and "pay back" the fasting after A levels?

aSSAlaam aleikum brother,

no,no, no don't do that you'll be missing this special month, come on it's only 30 days in a year and you don't even know if you or I will be here next year...
You cannot compare your A-levels and fasting can you?

Ok, true you have your exams in a month's time, inshallah, just try your hardest!! And if you fast after ramadan, the whole special feeling is not there anymore... and besides you are not the only having exams or passing A-levels, so inshallah make duas always and again and again...

Ramadan is just unique you can't miss it! think i made myself clear, i didn't meant to sound rude or anythiing...

By the way, what's the ivy league??

brother if you die in this month or by fasting then you will get paradies.ANd who knows will you be able to get your A level ? Tomorrow is not sure so forget the tomorrow, but you have today so get your chance.Today is allready fixed so why you wanna waste which is fixed just for those things from which have you no garantie(life). Every person has same situation.MY 2nd semister is going on and i couldn´t even read 2 hour for my exam´s.BUt do this compromises for allah , inshallah you will get reward for this and make dua to allah that you want to fasting and also get good results so may allah make easy for you. Verily the rewards from allah is better then this world.

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate

Assalaamu `Alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh

I hope you are in the best of health and iman InshaAllah.

Firstly Ramadan Mubarak.

I agree with A-levels being the hardest exam you can take as it is advanced level, once you pass your A-levels, Uni should be easy for you.

Secondly, why do we fast? It's one of the five pillars of Islam, that's how important it is, and it's obligatory. One cannot just leave their fast and 'pay it back' when they want to. We fast so one can:

  • Draw closer to Allah Most High.

  • So we can express our slavehood To Allah Most High.

  • So we can be better men and better women, better human beings, better slaves of Allah.

Remember this Ayah:

Allah Ta’ala revealed. “O you who have attained to faith! Fasting is ordained for you as it was ordained for those before you, so that you might remain conscious of God” (2:183)

We don't know if we are gonna see tomorrow- so make the most of it! What better month to ask Allah for help and forgiveness than the month of Ramadan?

Look at me for example, today i have my deadline to give in my final assignment for my Islamic courses (I'm learning Fiqh and it's not easy), and instead i'm here giving you advice. Everyone has to take out time for worship etc.

Finally, a little advice from me; Perhaps if you kept in mind that you might not have the chance to make up that prayer or fast, i.e. you die suddenly, and you would meet Allah with that debt and embarrassment of not fulfilling your obligation to Allah, you would know how much Allah loved you and how little you did in turn to be an obedient slave.

And Allah alone gives success.

Forgive me any mistakes i may have made.

Take care and Wasalaam.

Assalam Alaikum brother,
Personally I have found that whenever I have had test/exams during the month of Ramadan, I have done exceptionally well on them, Alhamdullilah! I suggest that you concentrate on your studying with this thought in your mind that Allah will reward you multi-fold for the pains you take to please Him.

May you get into the school of your choice. Ameen.

Assalam Alaikum

the ivy league is universities such as harvard,brown or oxford.

anyway,just like for my O levels 2 years ago. but the difference is O lvls required so much less studyin, or any studying at all.

ok then, fast i shall!
