Tomorrow is the first day of Ramadan in most of the arabic and Islamic countries.
Wikipedia wrote:Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان‎) (also written Ramazan, Ramzan, Ramadhan, Ramdan, Ramadaan) is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, sexual conduct, smoking, and indulging in anything that is in excess or ill-natured; from dawn until sunset [1] Fasting is meant to teach the Muslim patience, modesty and spirituality. Ramaá¸ÂÄÂn is a time to fast for the sake of Allah, and to offer more prayer than usual. Muslims also believed through good actions, they get rewarded seventy times as much as they normally can achieve. During Ramaá¸ÂÄÂn, Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance and help in refraining from everyday evils, and try to purify themselves through self-restraint and good deeds. As compared to solar calendar, the dates of Ramadan vary, moving forward about ten days each year. Ramadhan was the month in which the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed[Qur'an 2:185] to the Prophet Muhammad. Another belief is that Quran was revealed from Al-Lawf al-Makhfooz to Baithul Izza (heavenly sky) in Lailathul Qadru of Ramazan. And it was in full, later it was reveled to Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) part by part over a period of 23 years.

mad probs for people who can stick to this, and are doing it for their beliefs and their religion. at this point in my life, I couldn't imagine doing something like this. though I guess it would be different if you were brought up like this then it would be easier.
