Muslims practice fasting, for the entire month of Ramadan. This means that they may eat or drink nothing, including water, while the sun shines. Fasting is one of the Five Pillars (duties) of Islam. As with other Islamic duties, all able Muslims take part in sawm from about age twelve.
During Ramadan in the Muslim world, most restaurants are closed during the daylight hours. Families get up early for SAHUR, a meal eaten before the sun rises. After the sun sets, the fast is broken with a meal known as iftar. Iftar usually begins with dates and sweet drinks that provide a quick energy boost.
Fasting serves many purposes. While they are hungry and thirsty, Muslims are reminded of the suffering of the poor. Fasting is also an opportunity to practice self-control and to cleanse the body and mind. And in this most sacred month, fasting helps Muslims feel the peace that comes from spiritual devotion as well as kinship with fellow believers.
1st day fasting in 2010..
rasa sedih juga sebab puasa tahun ini tanpa family lagi..udah kali kedua berpuasa diperantauan..nasib baik la ada kakak juga tinggal berdekatan dengan kampus ku..tapi bila diingat puasa2 yang lepas lagi best..dapat berbuka puasa dan makan sahur bersama family..kalau dulu time kanak2, mama la selalu yang bangunkan aku untuk bangun makan sahur..tapi sekarang terpaksa la bangun sendiri..
jam4am ma babee udah berdering..rupa2nya enHAKIM call mahu bangunkan aku..nasib baik la dia kejutkan aku..tanpa berfikir panjang call cikLEA suruh datang rumah..hari ini aku makan sahur bersama teman ku non muslim cikLEA aka GLORIA GAMPITAT..even dia non muslim, tapi dia try untuk berpuasa..yang aku terharu dia bangun time2 yang dia suka tidur..tidak pun dia mengeluh sedikit pun untuk bangun..roomate ku maintain tidur lena..mo juga kejutkan tapi ..... hehe.. ^_____^ lagi pun dia xpuasa juga sebab dia beragama buddha..
