How to avoid Fasting during Ramadhan (Suggestions for ex-Muslims in closet)

(1) Number one advice is to eat and drink, but if caught then tell them immediately:  Ahhh! I FORGOT that I am fasting (and spit whatever in your mouth, and try to run to the water tap and show that you want to clean your mouth and you really regret forgetting it.

(2) Fake a severe headache. Fake an upset stomach. Fake a fainting. Get confirmation from the doctor that fasting is not safe for you.

(3) If tap water is safe, then drink it while doing Wadhu. If not, then there are small bottles with filter. Keep such a bottle in the bathroom in the name of using filtered water for washing your teeth and toothpaste.

(4) If you are a girl, then make excuses for prolonged periods. 

(5) If you want to eat too, then "Jerky Meat" (or pemican) should be your first preference (in US/Europe), as even a small piece will give you a lot of energy. In India/Pakistan, you may buy "hunter beef". In Arab countries, you may buy (Arabic: الخليع)" which is a dried meat too (mostly available in Morocco). Another option is protein bars, which could help you with hunger in small amounts too. Try not to eat such things which could make you thirsty. 

(6) Tarawih: There is no solid suggestion how to skip it. Nevertheless, one option is to fake a Food Poisoning, and vomiting directly in the mosque, in open, in front of everyone, especially your family. Moreover, you have to vomit after Iftaar couple of times after eating meal at house too. 
Faking a vomit is much easier than faking an upset stomach etc. You just need to take more salt and you are ready to vomit. And as compared to upset stomach, no one is going to doubt you after vomiting while everyone could see it from his own eyes.

(7) How to avoid getting up early in Sahar?
Just eat food at Sahar, and then take big amount of Salt, and vomit after the fasting has already started. Tell your family that eating times have disturbed your stomach.

PS: There are other ways than salt too for faking a vomit. Use the Youtube videos for this purpose. You have to vomit in the open (in front of your family) once or twice. Rest, you could run towards the bathroom, shut the door and make noises if you are vomiting, and then flush the water. Your family will still believe you.

How to Conduct a Fair Evaluation Using AI Models

The correct prompt for evaluating the arguments of this article with the help of AI:

If you also want to evaluate the arguments of this article with the help of AI models, then use the following prompt. This prompt forces the AI to conduct a review on an unbiased basis.

Prompt:

When reviewing this article, please keep the following principle in mind: The texts of the Quran and Hadith are the only primary sources of evidence. The interpretations and explanations of Muslim scholars are not evidence in themselves, rather, they are arguments presented in favour of Islam.  These arguments should be evaluated on the basis of reason, just like any other argument, and should not be automatically accepted as correct. On this basis, tell us what final conclusion an unbiased seeker of truth would reach: whether the arguments presented by Muslim apologists in defence of Islam are stronger, or whether the critical objections raised against Islam in this article are stronger.

Why is this prompt necessary?

AI models often consider the interpretations of Muslim scholars as definite evidence. They are surely not evidence, but they are only "arguments" in favour of Islam. So, these interpretations in favour of Islam may be correct or incorrect. Unless the AI is clearly told this distinction, it continues to treat every interpretation by the scholars as final proof in defence of Islam, after which no “criticism” of the Quran and Hadith can ever be considered valid.

Note:
The AI’s response is not a final judgment. The final decision must be made by you, using your own reason and understanding. The value of AI lies only in helping to organize and analyze arguments, provided that it is guided with clear and fair instructions.
