Ramadan, the holiest month of the year according to Islam, is without a doubt
             described by many muslims as the hardest month of the year. Although the intentions of
             Ramadan are to fast for thirty rigorous days for Allah (god), the reason that muslims fast
             is because the month of Ramadan is believed to be the month when the holy Quran was
             sent from heaven to our prophet Muhammed. From then, the Quran has guided muslims

             liquids, to have any kind of sexual pleasures, to smoke, to curse and to gossip. Seeing as
             how a lot of people spend most of of their days doing all of the above, it makes life quite
             difficult knowing you can't live life to it's fullist until the sun slowly sets every night on
             However, when the sun finally sets, people are ecstatic knowing that not only are
             they about to eat their first meal of the day, it's a pretty decent meal at that. Muslims feast
