The Truth About Ramadan

Ramadan is typically described as a month-long fast. Yet the entire month is filled with feasting. Indeed, binge eating during Ramadan is causing a health crisis in Muslim countries. So why is gluttony and excess portrayed as strict discipline and self control in Islam? Is there a spiritual component to Ramadan? David Wood explores the issue, and uncovers the disturbing truth about Islam's holiest month.

I've started fasting since I was 5 years old, because I wanted to be like an adult. My mother did not allow me to sleep the day and stay awake in the morning. She always pointed out what is the point of fasting if I slept all day. And on the 15th day of Ramadan, she realized that my body looks exhausted from fasting, especially because I was fasting in a Desert (I am an Arab that immigrated to Saudi) so she forced me to fast half day, I refused, so she told me to fast one day and break it the next day, and when I would become 6, I would be allowed to fast the whole of Ramadan My siblings started by half fast and gradually increasing the duration. We would read the Quran in the day. At least finish 20 pages everyday. We would watch cartoons about the prophets (PBUT) or read books about them (PBUT). Or about the history of İslam and its values So if you had bad experience, do not generalise. I did not generalise on chrisitians when one of them did a bad thing.

I am currently fasting as part of my spiritual practice, for its health benefits, and to lose some of my fatty tissue. I fast two days a week every week. I don't abstain from taking in fluids, for obvious health reasons and because staying hydrated is crucial for my well-being. I have found that abstaining from food for even a single day provides a spiritually enriching experience. It changes my brain chemistry because the body replaces glucose with ketone bodies, altering hormones in a way that allows for a better connection with God. I even look forward to my fasting days, and although it’s hard to resist eating, it gets easier the longer you do it and the longer you haven’t eaten. My longest water fast (meaning I only consumed fluids) was two full weeks, or 14 days, without any breaks and without eating when the sun goes down-24 hours a day, every day. Currently, I fast for around 32 hours until I resume eating the next day. So, a full day and the night when I sleep. It might even be longer because I don't stop eating at midnight, and I don't start eating immediately after waking up. There is substantial research supporting the health benefits of fasting, such as improved metabolic health, enhanced brain function, and reduced inflammation. When done properly, fasting can be a safe and effective practice for both spiritual and physical well-being.

I once had a conversation with a Muslim woman, she told me that she disagreed with the Koran and that during Ramadan she only fasts during the day. Yet, she still has an evening meal to reward herself for not eating during the day. At the company where we worked everyone was so impressed with her. I thought it odd because she didn't lose weight.

Fasting is from early morning to sun set. What are you talking about to reward herself? We break our fast at night. We don’t drink any water even in the hot summer

We don't fast to lose weight or really for any health benefits for that matter. These are attributes prescribed by the modern crowd.

I certainly couldn't gorge for 30 days although I wouldn't find it hard to go without food between sunrise and sunset as I generally don't eat lunch anyhow. Going without water would be much harder. I am aware of the morning and evening feasts as my neighbours are a Muslim family from Afghanistan and during Ramadan they eat in the garden and are still outside eating until the early hours and at weekends they are out all night. One of my friends lives in what has become a mainly Muslim area and even young children are still playing out in the street until 3 or 4am during Ramadan.

I do the same and every new year I do a 2 to 3 week water fast with electrolytes..salt, magnesium, and potassium...it's great for your health

[@FromAmateur2Pro]

I read an article years ago where it said that human body can digest food quicker between 2 pm and 4 pm. That's why during these hours you should eat the most of your daily food. Meanwhile, during Ramadan you are fasting during these hours and then eating during the time when digestion is weakest, that explains the fact that Muslims gain a lot of weight during Ramadan.

[@abilea4081]

There's a lot of Muslims in my workplace and I remember pointing out that doing night shifts (I'm a nurse) is a quick hack and doesn't count as fasting. Also plenty of people only eat once or twice a day, not that hard to do if your first meal is the size of 2-3 meals.

[@mr.ellisholama2337]

You can judge Muslims from doing their religion "Islam" but you can't judge their religion for there is no description in the Quran or hadith that promotes or order what you interpret about Ramadan fasting 😊

[@wajn4785]

Isn't that pretty much all religions, like now Israeli killing Palestines because the land was promised to thdm by God and they're following God's will that's just one of the extreme examples.

[@wajn4785]

Tbh I fast and no matter how hungry you get, when I comes to eating, you can hardly eat much, you start realising what an actual portion size is, idk if your stomach shrinks but after just little bit of food you feel full, and you tend to slow down eating naturally, actually understand what it feels to be hungry. It is rear to feel hungry with so much food readily available. Idk man, don't knock until you tried it.

“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

[@LordEsel88]

While I'm not a Christian, this is why I respect Christian fasting. The way Muslims do it is deeply hypocritical. Their's is counterproductive and is done for the sake of prestige, not humility.

​@@LordEsel88since you respect the Christian approach, if you haven't tried it recently, let me suggest that you try fasting. Maybe one day, a few days later maybe two days or three. I suggest not necessarily expecting anything.

[@A.Nick24]

Real incidence - i worked in diving operation sea vessel in Qatar area . There were 2 crane operators.. muslim Crane operator insisted the Christian Crane operator to change the shift due to Ramadan season. And from morning 6am to 6pm he changed his duty timings from 6pm to 6am .. and whole night he had 3 big meals .. with 2 snacks breaks .. and his eating+ feasting businesses was all done in duty hrs. And at 5:50am he did handover and went straight to bed. And whole day he slept and even restricted his roommate to enter the room when he is sleeping coz he would be disturbed in Ramadan. He woke at 1pm for 10 mins for peeing and pray . And finally woke at 4-4:30 pm and started collecting all tasty food items in his plates from the buffet available, together with special fruits and dry fruit salad plate. And within 1 month mr. Hussain gained literally more than 10 lbs.

[@sanyang66]

Ramadan is a great time in Islam; for prayer, charity and generally good behaviour. I must have missed the memo on feasting every night during the month; I am usually very tired by the end of it all. Also, if you think the timeframe of it all and the rules of eating before makes it easy - you just need to try it yourself.Just keep in mind that fasting for 15+ hours in North America is not uncommon depending on the time of year.
