Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar (the 9th month). It's a time for spiritual "rehab." It commemorates when the Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). For 29 or 30 days, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset as one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
When you fast, your body enters a "post-absorptive" state about 8–12 hours after your last meal. This triggers autophagy (cellular cleanup), improves insulin sensitivity, and gives your digestive system a much-needed break. Spiritually, it's designed to build Taqwa (God-consciousness) and empathy for those who are hungry every day by choice-less necessity.
Before Fajr begins, you must make a sincere intention in your heart to fast for the sake of Allah. You don't have to say it out loud; the silent commitment is what counts.
Wake up for Suhoor. Even if it's just a sip of water, there is a blessing in this meal. Eat until the time of Fajr (dawn) starts.
From Fajr until Maghrib, you must abstain from food, drink, smoking, and marital relations. It’s a total physical and spiritual reset.
The moment the sun sets (Maghrib), break your fast immediately. It's recommended to use an odd number of dates and water, followed by prayer.
