Some people see the fasting of the month of Ramadhan as the refraining from food and drink during the day. Rather the Ramadhan of our Prophet (saw) was an affirmation of the Muslim’s commitment to Allah (swt), training for the soul so easily distracted by hollow temporal delights. Through the strengthening of the spirit that Ramadhan helps us to achieve, we come a little closer to those true human values that Allah (swt) described to us through his Messenger Muhammed (saw).
