Fasting

is a unique moral and spiritual characteristic of Islam. Literally defined, fasting means to abstain "completely" from foods, drinks, intimate intercourse and smoking, before the break of the dawn till sunset, during the entire month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic year.

• Fasting teaches the person the principle of patience, humility and selflessness.
• It is an effective lesson in applied moderation and willpower.
• It is a Godly prescription for self-reassurance and self-control.

Some of its advantages are:

• to sympathize with those who do not always have food and drink readily available.
• It gives stomach a good break to relax.

Allah issued the command to fast Ramadan,which is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.

So prepare yourselves for this blessed month.
