i'm fasting because have body dysmorphia disorder. what the fuck is ramadan
It's a Muslim ritual(I think that's what it's considered). I'm not Muslim so here is an answer courtesy of about.com
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar.
Every day during this month, Muslims around the world spend the daylight hours in a complete fast.During the blessed month of Ramadan, Muslims all over the world
abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs during the daylight hours. As a time to purify the soul, refocus attention on God, and practice self-sacrifice.
During Ramadan, every part of the body must be restrained. The tongue must be restrained from backbiting and gossip. The eyes must restrain themselves from looking at unlawful things.
The hand must not touch or take anything that does not belong to it. The ears must refrain from listening to idle talk or obscene words. The feet must refrain from going to sinful places. In such a way, every part of the body observes the fast.
