1- YES

2-Muslims fast to put themselves in the place of the poor and in the place of the prophet, who practiced fasting to meditate.

Ramadan is one of the 5 pillars of Islam and therefore one of the duties of Muslims.

*Fasting would promote the spiritual path and reflection, but would also help to show vigor, control and asceticism, a symbol of belief.

No 1 - YES

[TheFreakzz 46]

Yes

 

In Islam, fasting is a divine commandment, one of the five pillars of that religion.  Fasting is held in Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar year.  Fasting has the character of a penitential exercise.  The soul is to be purified and purified, and the relationship with God and fellow human beings is to be strengthened.

Ramadan Kareem to all my Muslim Brother & Sister

1. YES

2. Well Fasting was prescribe for Muslims during the lunar/Islamic month of Ramadan as it was prescribed for nations before, order that they may get taqwa(God-consciousness, reverence, fear), sometimes translated as righteousness. During Ramadan, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, would review the entire Qur'an with the Angel Gabriel. Muslims - so long as able/healthy - stay away from food and water for the sake of God, and intimacy during the daylight hours and can partake in those once the sun is down. We leave what we enjoy and even generally need for God, which has physical, spiritual and moral significance. Restraining from things that are normally allowed (food, water, intimacy with the spouse), heightens the awareness to stay away from other vices a person might have - for example, looking at, listening to, or partaking in things that are not good or not beneficial. For example, if a person gossips - which they shouldn't any time of the year - and they leave food and drink, well those are generally allowed and the person is staying away from those, perhaps stay away from something that is not generally allowed such as gossip.

We focus on the recitation of Qur'an - though it should be throughout the entire year. There are times when people get tired of course, but there are also times where the focus and ability to concentrate are quite heightened - for example, some Muslim athletes actually perform better during Ramadan. (Hakeem Olajuwan for example).

One analogy I have heard is that in general Muslims stay away from some things during this life, and in the next life, we break our fast for the patience and self-control exhibited in this life.

Ultimately, Muslims hope to attain the pleasure and forgiveness from God and being saved from the alternative, as Muslims believe in both Heaven and Hell.

In any case, the Qur'an mentions that to fast is better for you if you only knew, so there is perhaps things we can't even articulate nor quite understand fully.

Muslims love the month, because they understand this is a great opportunity to benefit both spiritually and physically.

1. Yes, but was for personal reasons.

2. The act of fasting is meant to remind Muslims of the less fortunate and to reinforce the need to be thankful.

I think that this is really important, because let the people think and care about others, not only for their family and friends. I personally respect every kind of religion, i have a lot of muslim friends and during this period when i talk with them i always try to avoid every kind of discussion about food and drinks, because i think i will be very disrespectful. 

But there are some categories that can't fetch:

- children who have not reached puberty
- the elderly
- those who are physically or mentally incapable of fasting
- pregnant women
- breastfeeding mothers
- travelers

The most important think is that fasting during Ramadan means abstinence from all food or drink, including water and chewing gum, from dawn to sunset, so it is recommended that before sunrise, Muslims eat a prefast meal known as suhur, after sundown, Muslims break their fast with iftar, a meal which usually starts with dates and water or milk, followed by dinner.

After Ramadan, Muslims celebrate a three-day holiday called Eid-ul-Fitr (Eid means "celebration"), Muslims pray the holiday prayer in congregation in the morning, visit family and friends, and celebrate over food, gifts and activities for children.

Also fasting has a lot of benifts, these are the most importants:

• Detoxifying
• Appetite Suppressant
• Metabolism
• Weight Loss
• Immune System
• Blood Pressure
• Training
• Improved Cardiovascular Function
• Mental Health
• Blood Sugar
• Radiant Complexion /Anti-ageing
• Healthier Brain and Cognitive Function

Thanks to everyone that spend a bit of his time for reading this :)

Ramadan Kareem to my muslim and non muslim friends! ❤️

2. muslim fast during ramadhan to get closer to god through prayer and contemplation, the act of fasting is meant to remind musims of the less fortunate and to reinforce the need to be thankful and the act of fasting to redict the heart away from worldly activities, its purpose being to cleanse the soul by freeing it from harmful impurities.

thats it all and thankyou, may allah always protect you brother.
