Prayer is a necessary part of fasting. Throughout the scriptures, prayer and fasting are mentioned together. Our fasting should be accompanied by sincere prayer, and we should begin and end our fasting with prayer.
We Should Fast with a Purpose
Fasting can have many purposes. We can overcome weaknesses or problems by fasting and praying. Sometimes we may wish to fast and pray for help or guidance for others, such as a family member who is ill and needs a blessing

Muslims fast for a whole month and eat or drink NOTHING from dawn till sunset. By controlling bodily desires, we are able to control the desires of the soul, lust etc.
Moreover, it makes us feel more about those people who don't have the means to have food on a daily basis, so we donate more in this month of Ramadan. These days Muslims are going through this month. We are already through with 20 fasts, 10 more remaining. I am sad that this month passes away so quickly. It is the best month when it comes to doing good deeds and holding yourself accountable, self auditing.

Usually I'm fasting for a specific ritual I have planned. Extra meditation, and I find that fasting makes it far easier to enter a trance state.

depends who you're fasting for. Muslims obstain from all foods and liquids, but even more importantly from impure behavior. Fasting is meant to be a time of deep meditative thought about one's relationship with God, so no bad habits!
