    I love the fasting month! I'm at my strongest then, strangely enough. Even the 'Warrior Diet' isn't quite the same as Ramadan fasting.

    Why do you feel strongest then? Do you mean spiritually or physically?

      Peace,
      Respectfully.

      I'm not boasting and portraying myself as a better person by saying this but last two years i tried something new i was fasting for seven consecutive months, without stopping an it helped me, really, because i've been depressed for several years and i've been having problems with a full plate - can't say no to food.

      Once you go to months and months of fasting, you learn control and obediance.
      Thank God The MOST Merciful for Guidance.

        That is interesting. No ill effects on your health?

          Physically, I'm like a hyperactive jock. Very alert also. You'd think an empty stomach = weak but naw, doesn't happen to me. I used to feel weak though until I realised it's just conditioning. One day, I read about soldiers doing PT while fasting, construction workers working while fasting and I thought "Well if they can do it, so can I". Dehydration is a big problem however, so I won't force it if I can't.

          Does nuts for me spiritually.

            Yes I can see the dehydration problem especially in the country you live and here too.

                    As long as I dont' have soccer training I fast the whole month. You should try too, Rev - Ramadan is also in the Bible.
                    http//www.submission.org/fasting-bible.html

                    I am no longer a Sunna-rejecter. See 4:59-65, 62:2-4, 3:31, 4:156, 7:157 Messenger teaches and is to be followed and obeyed. Examples of revelation received which is not in the Qur'an: 3:123-126, 33:37, 2:187, 66:3, 62:9.

                          Yes Rev John, you should, fasting is 'common practice', exists in nearly every cultures.. although the time and mechanism varied..
                          The buddhist fast too... so does the Taoist... and of course Jesus fast as well.. 40 days in the hot sunny dessert? That must be tough!
                          Objective As a means to develop some self-control..

                                    Let me get this right. I know you cannot eat anything from sun-up till sun-down, but you also cannot drink even water?

                                      YES! Fasting is total abstinence from food and water from dawn till dusk

                                          Just a question, do not put your name if you don't want to. But answer truthfully.

                                          yes
