O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you,
that ye may (learn) self-restraint

what is ramadan ramadhan fast

What is ramadan ramadhan fast?

Abraham (peace be upon him) used to fast as part of his prayers to god almighty (allah is arabic). Muslim follow the prayers that Abraham has made before the revelation of koran (quran, coran) that was delivered to mankind via prophet mohammed (peace be upon him).

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Every day during this month, Muslims around the world spend the daylight hours in a complete fast. They follow normal muslim life from sun set (maghrib) to dawn (fajr).

Not eating is part of fasting but is not fasting. By fasting it is meant to abstain from food, drink (including water even a small drop), and other physical needs during the daylight hours. someone wrotre: ramadan should be viewed "as a time to purify the soul, refocus attention on God, and practice self-sacrifice".It is much more than just not eating and drinking.

Chidren do not fast (although they insist), as well as the ills and those unable to fast due to health and illness reasons.
