fasting is for Him
As reported by Abu Huraira, the Prophet, peace be upon him, said
الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ، فَلاَ يَرْفُثْ وَلاَ يَجْهَلْ، وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ قَاتَلَهُ أَوْ شَاتَمَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ. مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ، يَتْرُكُ طَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ وَشَهْوَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي، الصِّيَامُ لِي، وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ، وَالْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا
Fasting is a shield (or a screen or a shelter). So, the person observing fasting should avoid sexual relation with his wife and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should tell him twice, ‘I am fasting.” The Prophet (ﷺ) added, “By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. (Allah says about the fasting person), ‘He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. The fast is for Me. So I will reward (the fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times.

FPP 320 T: beautiful, if you can get the &%$# remjet off…
Ah, movie film… It’s great stuff, really, even expired it gives really good, predictable and repeatable results. FPP’s 320 T is some expired Kodak Vision film, helpfully loaded into 35mm cassettes by the good people at the FPP. Visionary film directors used Kodak Vision 320T for such titles as Unbreakable, the Kill Bill series, Being John Malkovich, and The Man Who Wasn’t There, so if you want to see how good this film can look, look up one of those.
If, on the other hand, you want to see what a rank amateur with plastic cameras and ancient chemicals can get out of it, read on… Continue reading “FPP 320 T: beautiful, if you can get the &%$# remjet off…”
