Muslims are commanded in the Quran to commemorate the month of Ramadaan by fasting.
The Muslims' fast is from the early morning prayer (Fajr)(daybreak) until sunset at the dawn prayer (Mahgrib - prayer). During fasting period, Muslims fast by not eating, not drinking, not engaging in Haraam activities, and not taking part of sexual activities with the wifes. There is special sercumstances.
The months Ramadaan is special to Muslims because the Quran informs us that that is the month that all holy scriptures started being revealed to the prophets. liek our Prophet Muhammed started getting his first revelation during the month Ramadaan while he was in the cave. So too Jesus, who got his first revelation of the Injeel while he was fasting for 40 days. Moses also, got his first scriptures while he was fasting.
