The month of Ramadan is a time of immense spiritual growth, reflection, and physical discipline. Here are some key guidelines to help you make the most of it.
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ، وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
"Dhahabaz-zama\\'u, wabtallatil-AAurooqu, wathabatal-ajru inshaa-Allah"
The thirst is gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.
No, brushing your teeth does not break the fast as long as you do not swallow the toothpaste or water. Many scholars recommend using a miswak.
If you eat or drink genuinely out of forgetfulness, your fast is still valid. You should stop as soon as you remember and continue your fast.
