What is Ramadan? - Tazzy Phe

Fasting is not just in Islam. People fast for so many reasons in so many cultures and religions. Here's just some:

• Health Reasons! Fasting is proved to cure diabetes and obesity. Amazing Health and Medicinal Benefits of Ramadan
• Buddhism! Buddhists don't eat anything after the noon meal. Buddhist Religious Fasting Rules
• Christianity!  It's not necessary to fast in Christianity, but it is smiled upon. Christian Fasting
• Judaism! Fasting days are either major or minor in the Jewish calender and may last up to 25 hours. 'Major' and 'Minor' Jewish fast days

My good friend decided to try fasting today and here is what he thought about the whole experience:

It was okay. I'm actually really bad with remembering to drink and I don't usually eat until at least one pm anyway. I was just hell more conscious of it and not being able to eat or drink just made me want to more. Also was counting down the time. Sucked that my power went out for about two hours as well so then it was hard to distract myself because I eat when I'm bored aha

How cool is that?

If you're not Muslim, why not give it a go? Fasting is not only an experience but it also beneficial to you in so many ways. Of course there are exceptions to fasting because in the Quran it says

"... those who are ill or travelling, then an equal number of other days. God wants ease for you, and He does not want hardship for you." 2:185

Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) - سورة البقرة
(The above quote in the Quran)
