Ramadan has begun in most of the world. It began with a blast in Baghdad. Although people usually think of Ramadan as a month of fasting, it is also a time of joy and clebration in the Muslim world. The fast is during the daylight hours only and at night firiends and family get together and feast, talk story, and celebrate. Many Muslims actually gain weight during Ramadan! I have Muslim friends that tell me the hardest part is not drinking water during the day. As for the food, they eat breakfast very early and a big dinner at night. If you have Muslim friends it is customary to wish them Ramadan Mubarak! One of these days I will participate in Ramadan, even though I am not Muslim. Below is a short summary of what Ramadan is all about.
