Fasting

It's the fasting month for the Muslims.
We Muslim people fast once a year for a month.
This month is called Ramadan.
The Islamic festivals are celebrated according to lunar calendar.
A month's fasting don't mean we abstain from food and drinks for a month completely.
Actually we don't have meal during the daytime but we eat after sunset until dawn.
We usually get up early, these days around 4am;
we eat some food that time, pray and again go to bed or go out for a walk.

The Purpose of FastingGod teaches us about fasting in the Holy Quran.
"O you who believe in God!
Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that hopefully you will have piety".
In this verse and again at the end of the passage Allah clearly states the reason why He has ordered us to fast.
Our fasting does not benefit Allah, neither does He want us to go hungry or thirsty or prevent us from enjoying the permitted pleasures of this world that He has provided for us.
Indeed He wants to raise us to the ranks of pious people.
Holy Quran was revealed during Ramadan.
The Bible, the Torah, the Psalms of David, and the Scrolls of Abraham were all revealed in this month.
To honor this we should increase our study and recitation of the Holy Quran during Ramadan.

It is very sorry to say that I am not taking fasting for whole month because Now I am here in Japan and I live alone so that sometime its difficult for me to wake up at that mid night not only that some time I am really very busy with my study.
