The month of Ramadan is the holiest month in the Hijri (Islamic) calendar. This is the month when it is the duty of all Muslims 12 years and older to fast from dawn till dusk. How long one fasts depends on where that Muslim is—in Dubai the duration of a fast is roughly 14 hours. As I am old enough to fast according to Islamic laws, it is my duty too to fast and so I must.
I wake up everyday at 4am in the morning to have my breakfast with my parents and my siblings. It is one big meal, not your regular breakfast. After we’re done having breakfast, my father recites the prayer and from that time on, we neither eat nor drink. I go back to sleep after the morning prayers but my parents stay up to recite the Quran. I then wake up at 7am and go to college.
That’s how my usual Ramadan day usually starts...

open your mind brother and know that we infidels like me have been there done that and are following Hayom Tom, Tishrei 8.
starving for Muhammad is as unglamourous as the savagery of Hare Krishna panhandlers!!
wake up and join us infidels, the likes of me who follows santo tomas.
peace and love
