yes I do, thats crazy!

 

Why do you have to do it?

Just bumping by and jumping in to this conversation :P!

 

It's because of our religion, this month our sinds will be forgiven if we fast, behave ourself, and do good deeds.

we have to fast from 5am to 9pm ( that's France time) during a whole month

 

we can eat nothing, drink nothing, Nothing has to enter in your body :wacky:

 

do you understand what's to fast? :drunk:

Wow I didn't know it was until 9pm for you :stunned:

 

Must be tough to be fasting in the summer months! Sunrise is so early and sunset is so late.

we have to fast from 5am to 9pm ( that's France time) during a whole month

Ramadān is a time of reflecting and worshiping God. Muslims are expected to put more effort into following the teachings of Islam and to avoid obscene and irreligious sights and sounds. Sexual thoughts and activities during fasting hours are also forbidden. Purity of both thoughts and actions is important. The fast is intended to be an exacting act of deep personal worship in which Muslims seek a raised awareness of closeness to God.

 

 

The act of fasting is said to redirect the heart away from worldly activities, its purpose being to cleanse the inner soul and free it from harm. It also allows Muslims to practice self-discipline, self-control, sacrifice, and empathy for those who are less fortunate; thus encouraging actions of generosity and charity.
