A Muslim does not eat, drink, or smoke and undergoes severe and rigorous discipline during the month of fasting because of his faith in Allah, for His love, and fear of His punishment. This continuous rigorous discipline strengthens one’s faith in Allah and makes one sincere, faithful, and obedient to His command.

Muslims make very elaborate preparations and arrangements for the month of fasting. They cancel business tours and try to stay at home during the month of Ramadhan. They get up early in the morning before dawn and offer nafilah (optional) prayer before taking their sehri (morning meals).

Fasting, like prayer, is an act of worship and the fourth pillar of Islam. It is compulsory for all Muslims, both men and women, but pregnant women, the sick, and travellers are exempted from fasting. Travellers have to observe fasting after the end of their journey, pregnant women after the delivery of their child, and the sick when they become well. Women during menstruation need not fast but have to make up the lost days afterwards.
