Ramadhan...do you think we should try it
9 Answers
As a non muslim I am fascinated by the practice of Ramadhan. In order to loose weight i have tried fasting and find it extremely difficult. I marvel at the fact that someone can fast all day and have a good meal at night. I wish i could do that (believe me i have tried). Do you think as a non musilm you could do it. Is it something that we could all partake in purely for our personal benefit.

Ramadan forbids eating during the hours of daylight, which are specifically proscribed, down to the minute, so that Muslims can observe correctly. Children under three and the elderly are exempt - it's so that Muslims can focus on people in the world who are starving - something that would do a few right-wing politicians a world of good!
I was in Egypt last week and of course being a muslim country they were having Ramadhan, it's not just food they can't have but also fluid, so no water. But also in most Muslim countires they are closer to the equator and the days are more standard, getting Dark at around six.
I was chatting to the life guard and he said the food part was not problem but sitting around in the sun all day without a drink was a bit of a problem. They can eat at sun down which was officailly at 5:00 in Egypt.
