Ramadan Fasting

Ramadan is a beautiful expression of our desire to show Allah our dedication to self improve through an effort of discipline. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad suggests to us, in Book 1, that: "It is better for your health, however, to eat one meal after dark." In addition, He states in Book 2: " WHEN we abstain from food for so short a time as for early morning until after sundown and darkness begins to appear - we cannot call this is a FAST, for we are eating the same way that we have always been eating (one meal in that day). IT is no FAST to me and my followers to eat a meal after sundown. We cannot call it a FAST!" For those of us in the Nation of Islam, who follow the Hon. Elijah Muhammad and Min. Louis Farrakhan, let's dedicate this month of Ramadan to improving our discipline to 1 meal per day. 30 days of eating proper foods with 15 hours of no food or water can be challenging but also extremely rewarding.
