Each day during Ramadan, Muslims across the globe abstain from eating, drinking, smoking, or participating in anything that is ill-natured or excessive from dawn until sunset.
Ramadan is a exercise for the community to improve oneself. Fasting is prescribed through time and through all faiths and religions to teach human being patience, tolerance, and perseverance and to become self aware. So everybody who is able will exercise fasting from dawn to sunset."
Those who sick, elderly, traveling, or women who are pregnant or nursing are permitted to break their fast and make up for the missed days at a later time. Children do not fast before the age of puberty.
By abstaining from food and drinks, not using foul language and not having immoral thoughts or gossiping, you learn to understand and be tolerant. You become aware of the blessings you have around you. Muslims families view Ramadan as cleansing--it`s like you almost go through a purification and end up a better person." During Ramadan,
Muslims request forgiveness for sins in the past, pray for direction and aim to cleanse themselves through self control and great acts of faith.
To improve yourself part of becoming self-aware is being aware of poor people and what hunger is.Families invite people into their homes, and invite poor people for iftar and give distributions."
