Muslims are in their Holy month of fasting and praying to be near to God.
Men and women over adolescent age are required to fast from dawn to dusk to remember that Allah is the provider of all things.
They are not allowed to do many things which include not eating from dawn to dusk, not engaging in sexual activities and not gossiping.
The no-Muslims have several questions they ask about this holy month. Here are five silly questions no-Muslims are asking:
So you can’t eat or drink water whole day?Well, most people just wonder how Muslims manage to fast from dawn till dusk.
It is because they eat heavy meals after fasting in the evening and before fasting early in the morning. Actually, they don’t fast for a whole day, but only for 12 hours.
Who will see you if you eat?
Well, fasting is something that comes from your heart.
People fast to strengthen their faith in Allah.
They don’t do it because someone else is watching them.
Allah is always watching you.
How many days will you fast?
The holy month of Ramadan is not considerate of months.
It is dependent on how the new moon appears and reappears again.
They start fasting when the new moon appears and stop when another new moon reappears after the previous one ends.
What if you have sex?
The holy month is all about keeping yourself pure.
There are many things people are not allowed to do during this month which includes sex.
Nothing will happen to you when you have sex, but you will have broken your vows with Allah.
