Ramadan has come.

Ramadan is the month the Quran was revealed in:
Quote:Sura 2, Page 28, The Quran:
( 185 ) The month of Ramadhan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.
( 186 ) And when My servants ask you, concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be guided.
It's the month God revealed the Quran in. 1400 years ago, a mere guidance to humanity; so we might revive and become guided to the path of God.
That we see the light.
It's not about food, drinks, celebration and feasting. It's about tasting hunger and get closer to God.
Relate even more to him.
In Ramadan, one should fast from dawn to sunset. Never eating or drinking except after sunset.
God is always near. He always sees and hears.

The drinking part is a bit irresponsible though, especially when it's during the summer here.

Do you seriously think that story is factual?

I don't understand how being hungry or thirsty helps you relate or get closer to god, but then I don't have to.
Enjoy your month.
