The month of Ramadan is a when people fast from before the sun rises to the time that the sun sets. It is a Muslim fast and truly tests will power, as you are not allowed to eat or drink anything all day.

In Ramadan you are not allowed to eat, drink, smoke or doing something else that could break it between dawn to dusk. Children, old, sick, pregnant, breastfeeding and travelling people have not to fast.

It is a true test of will power .

??? It´s such a mess Grin

Monday was supposed to be the first day of Ramadan. In Germany they saw the new moon on saturday evening so they began to fast on sunday. In Switzerland the german part fasts since sunday, the french part since today (monday) ??? And Bangladesh fasts since tomorrow Grin

Quite good the christians have the solar calendar Wink
