Best Answer

In the Islamic month of Ramadan, all adult, sane, healthy Muslims fast from dawn (first light) until sunset. This is a total fast: Muslims do not eat or drink anything during this time. (Smoking and marital intimacy are also prohibited.)

Another Answer

Muslims don't fast during Ramadan; they simply don't eat or drink from dawn 'till dusk. During the hours of darkness, they spend a great deal of time eating and drinking as they celebrate with friends and family. In fact, many Muslims put on weight during Ramadan. Furthermore, in the Middle East, dusk comes very early, so the day is short, so the so-called period of fasting is very short and the working day is reduced, and foreigners aren't allowed to eat and drink in public. So 'fasting' isn't as hard as it might seem!

Catholic AnswerFasting during Lent means that you only eat one full meal on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. You may take a collation (snack) at the other two meal times, but together they cannot equal another full meal. Fasting is meant to deprive yourself as our Blessed Lord commanded in order to more perfectly conform yourself to Christ.

Answer

Because Jesus fasted in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights so we should show some respect and fast as well.
