The Non-Muslim Guide to Fasting During Ramadan 
Could you do it? Or rather, could you do without any food or water for 13-14 hours per day for an 
entire month? Or even a week? 
Across the globe, one billion people are not how to hack meez coin eating any food or drinking 
liquids today. These folks aren't part https://support.choirmanager.com/entries/104297506-hac- 
-meez-coin the world's chronically hungry, nor members of some weird diet cult. They are Muslim. 
One billion Muslims are fasting during this month of Ramadan (August 1 - 30, 2011) because they 
believe that Allah has willed it so. In verses 183 - 191 in the chapter Al Bakara in the Qur'an, Allah 
avows that devout believers must fast from "the break of dawn" until sundown during Ramadan, the 
ninth month in the Islamic calendar: 
"[Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - 
then an equal number of days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with 
hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers 
excess - it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew."
Strangely, along with those who are keeping the fast as a 
measure of devotion are thousands of others who are 
keeping the fast out of solidarity with Muslim family 
members, friends, or those who are simply curious as to 
how a whole sixth of the planet can maintain a singular 
idea for 29 days. I have been one of those contiguous 
people on several occasions during the past decade and a 
half, making a choice to commit myself to a complete 
fasting experience while trying to keep the spirit of the fast 
in my words, deeds, and thoughts as well. I am not Muslim, 
nor have I ever been. Yet, Ramadan can be both a social 
and spiritual experiment, regardless of one's belief system. 
First, it must be admitted that fasting is cheat meez cash a 
challenge. Without the pull of religious doctrine, fasting is 
subject to myriad temptations from our food and snack 
laden consumption driven society. Particularly outside the Muslim world, fasting seems to fly in the 
face of all the media stimuli that assault our senses each day. Signs, smells, advertisements, other 
peoples' eating, and the grumblings of our bellies, all try to pull the faster from a strictly personal 
determination to see what it is like going without. Yet, here I am, middle-aged, healthy, and happy 
for those times when I have joined others on the planet in saying "No" to food and drink during 
twelve or more hours of the day. 
Why do it? 
Every person will have their own reason for attempting a Ramadan fast. Some of the reasons offered 
by other non-Muslims who have kept company with meez cash hack ios their fasting friends and
family include the following: 
"There are so many people in the world who do not get to have a sumptuous meal each day, and this 
reminds me of that reality." 
"I want to see if I have the discipline to do without, even if I don't have a religious motivation." 
"We are connected, all of us on the planet. This 
way, I honor my connection to a billion other 
people." 
When to fast 
Fasting begins well over an hour before sunrise, 
so don't be 
https://verrex.zendesk.com/entries/65433765-che 
at-meez-coin mislead by the times given for 
sunrise in the newspaper. To really find out when 
the fast should begin, you need to know the 
Muslim prayer times. Discovering these is not a 
problem. For example, if you go on islamicfinder.com, you will find that Fajr, the beginning of the 
fast, is at 4:12am in Seattle today, August 7, 2011, and Maghreb, the end of the fast, is at 8:36pm. 
Look up prayer times by using your zip code. Remember, too, as a volunteer faster, ultimately the 
beginning time and ending times are up to you. 
In order to eat before the fast begins, Muslims will https://isoflux.zendesk.com/entries/65435845- 
meez-coin-hack-2015 rise a half-hour to an hour before Fajr and quickly eat a meal called s'hour, 
which doesn't, in fact, mean, "OMG, it's early." The meal may consist of a hearty soup, fruit, coffee 
or tea, and bread. Some people find an egg based s'hour to be too heavy, particularly if they are 
going to try to get back to sleep. Eating foods that take a while to digest is a good idea. 
The don'ts: Don't fast if you are ill, on medications that requires food or liquid, or are diabetic or 
have any condition which puts your health at risk. Don't fast if you are pregnant. Some Muslim 
women do fast, but they are discouraged from doing so since the life of the baby must be the first 
consideration. Women who are having their period are told not to fast, since their bio-chemistry is in 
flux and they may be anemic. I have known many Muslim women who fast regardless, possibly 
because they don't want to advertise the fact that they are cheat meez cash menstruating. Don't fast 
if you will be doing intense manual labor out of doors. In Marrakesh, Morocco, where the August 
temperatures can soar to 115F, it is known that laborers end their fast around 4:00pm when 
Ramadan falls during the summer and early fall simply because not to do so might prove fatal. The 
purpose is NOT to jeopardize your health.The dos: Drink a glass of water as the last thing you ingest 
before starting your fast. Make a game out of the growling stomach. Mine was "George". After a few 
days, George calmed down considerably. Plan a nap, a walk, or an easy workout in the

hours before you break the fast. Eat a variety of foods when you break the fast, protein, fat, and 
carbs. One of https://mpri.zendesk.com/entries/81543397-Meez-coin-hack-ios my favorite meals is a 
hearty soup, crepes, dates, honey, and eggs. Do plan on losing a couple of pounds. If you gain weight 
during Ramadan, you may want to rethink your post-fast meals and snacks. Start cooking or 
preparing meez cash cheats your f'tour well before you will break the fast. Have dates, or figs, or a
pound cake ready, along with tea or coffee, so that you can eat immediately the gong sounds, and 
drink a large glass of water. Then you can finish the regular evening meal without stress or rush and 
enjoy it more once you sit down.The fast of Ramadan is a lesson in humility. Participating in the fast 
teaches us exactly how difficult it is be hungry, for one day, or many days, one after the other. It 
tests our patience, with ourselves and others, our commitment to an idea or belief, and our 
willingness to be far out of our comfort zone. Make no mistake, for Muslims, too, all one billion of 
them, the fast is an ordeal, but one that they welcome and adhere to out of religious commitment 
and the sense of umma or global community that arises during the holy month of Ramadan. If you 
choose to try the Ramadan fast, it will be an experience to remember. Always, though, be safe, and 
check with your doctor if you have any concerns.
