Muslims are called upon to use this month to re-evaluate their lives in light of Islamic guidance.To abstain from eating, drinking and abstaining from things. According to Islamic custom. In the time since the morning. Until sunset.
Ramadan is about getting things that we can't see but can perceive with our hearts and minds. It's also about giving from that which we love and hold dear and thinking about those that are less fortunate than us. Fasting is a spiritual exercise that has disappeared from many religious practices the world over. However, God almighty commanded his prophets to fast and every prophet and their community would fast - this in itself should be a lesson for us all.
