That's hilarious!!!!
And to mr. extacy_bomb, if you're in a Muslim country where the government is integrated with the religion and the majority of citizens are Muslim then it makes sense to do what they do during Ramadan!
It's like taking Christmas Day off! I don't celebrate Christmas but at the same time I don't get upset when I can't do my groceries on Dec. 25!!! :p But I understand, we're talking about a whole month for Ramadan, but most likely it's a hot climate so it's better to go shopping in the evening, isn't it? ;) |

In Islam, fasting for a month is an obligatory practice during the holy month of Ramadan, from fajr (dawn), until maghrib (sunset). Muslims are prohibited from eating, drinking, smoking, and engaging in sexual intercourse while fasting. Fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the Pillars of Islam, and thus one of the most important acts of Islamic worship. By fasting, whether during Ramadan or other times, a Muslim draws closer to their Lord by abandoning the things they enjoy, such as food and drink. This makes the sincerity of their faith and their devotion to God all the more evident.
Muslims believe that fasting is more than abstaining from food and drink. It also includes abstaining from any falsehood in speech and action, from any ignorant and indecent speech, and from arguing and fighting, and lustful thoughts. Therefore, fasting helps develop good behavior.
Fasting also inculcates a sense of fraternity and solidarity, as Muslims feel and experience what their needy and hungry brothers and sisters feel. However, even the poor, needy, and hungry participate in the fast. Moreover, Ramadan is a month of giving charity and sharing meals to break the fast together.
