    In the name of Allah, the Entirely and Exceptionally Merciful.
    Muslims all over the world observe the annual
    fast during the daylight hours of Ramadan, the
    ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, in
    keeping with a divine commandment
    documented in Chapter 2, Verse 185 of the
    Holy Qur'an.


    The main reason for fasting is to develop self discipline and piety. That’s why Muslims are to
    abstain from gossip, lies, obscenity, vulgarity
    and physical, mental and spiritual sins.
    Almighty God mentioned in the Quran,
    chapter 2, verse 183: “O you who believe.
    Fasting is prescribed to you as it was
    prescribed to those before you that you may
    obtain self restraint.”


    Fasting during Ramadan purifies the actions
    and thoughts of Muslims. also has physical,
    spiritual and social benefits.
    Fasting elevates a level of God consciousness.
    Muslims focus on strengthening their
    personal relationship with the creator.
    This is the period of spiritual
    reflection through extra prayer and recitation
    of the Holy Quran. Fasting makes one aware
    of many bounties of almighty God which we
    take for granted.


    The hunger and thirst remind a fasting person
    about the poor and destitute who they may
    increase sympathy and generosity for the less
    fortunate.



    T A Q W A
    The term Taqwa is often translated as ‘piety’ or ‘God-fearing’, but a better equivalent would be ‘God-consciousness’. It is considered to be the essential
    quality of a believer. Taqwa of a believer should
    illuminate through all facets of his/her life, just like a
    bright light would shine through all openings of an
    empty house in an empty field in a dark night. Taqwa,
    when coupled with Imaan (faith), makes a well-rounded believer. Taqwa goes hand in hand with
    Imaan; one cannot be complete without the other, and
    vice versa.

    Lol that's because you're a new convert. You can't expect a lifetime of non-Muslimness to disappear in just one Ramadan!

    Give it s few years and you'd be feeling empathy too!

    Re: Why do Muslims Fast In Ramadan? (10) Reasons

    In the name of Allah,
    Ramadan is a very blessing month for Muslims. Muslims do fast in Ramadan. Fasting is great thing to realize poor people. How they are living without food. In Ramadan Muslims wakeup before Fajar Adhan and they eat food. In the day time they recite holy Quran and they do aftar after at the time of maghrib. After isha prayer they do traweeh.
    In short Islam is a great and peaceful religion.
