As a Muslim, I am required to adhere to the five pillars of Islam: praying five times a day, donating money to the poor, making a pilgrimage to Mecca, keeping faith in Allah, and lastly, fasting during the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan is a religious observance that takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, when God revealed the Koran to the Prophet Muhammad. It is considered the most blessed month of the Islamic year. Prayers, charity, and self-accountability are especially stressed during this time, but fasting is most essential. During fasting, Muslims rise before dawn to eat and pray; then they break their fast when the fourth prayer of the day, Maghrib, arrives. The following passage documents the difficulties and benefits in a typical day of fasting.
