People FAST!!! .....WHY??
Every muslims must fast because it was complusing. It was ordered in Quran for those who are mentally and
physically fit, past the age of puberty, in a settled situation and are sure fasting is unlikely to cause real
physical or mental injury.
Fasting is also the third pillar of Islam : "O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed
to those before you, that ye may (learn) taqwa(self restraint)"
to those before you, that ye may (learn) taqwa(self restraint)"
(Al Quran : Surah Al Baqarah 2:138)
On the physical side, fasting is from first light if dawn until sundown, abstaining from food, drink and sexual
relations. On the moral, behavioral side, one must abstain from lying, malicious gossip, quarrelling and trivial
nonsense
