Ramadan This month of Ramadan over two billion Muslims are fasting from the sunrise to the sunset. We are always being asked the same question alot " So you're fasting, you can't eat.... like at all.. not even water?'' . Yes, but the point is that we can eat or drink but we choose not to. Ramadan is a time to control one's desires and get closer to god. The self-discipline that we learn affects other areas of our lives, so we can be better family member, friends, and co-workers. So it worth it.
