Fasting in Islam...

Fasting is the act to willingly abstaining from food, drinks or both for the period of time.Fasting is also used in medical context to refer to the state achieved after digestion of a meal.But now I want to write on fasting in Islam.In Islam, fasting for a month is an obligatory practice during the holy month of Ramadan from fajr(dawn), until the maghrib (sunset).Muslims are prohibited from eating, drinking, smoking, and engaging in sexual intercourse while fasting. Fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the Pillars of Islam , and thus one of the most important acts of Islamic worship. By fasting, whether during Ramadan or other times, a Muslim draws closer to their Lord by abandoning the things they enjoy, such as food and drink. This makes the sincerity of their faith and their devotion to God all the more evident.
