So everyday I have been posting something on my FB wall about my experences with fasting for the first time. I am sure everyone is getting sick of it but I really like doing it, so I figure if I do it here then no one will be put out. I am going to copy and paste the ones I have posted so far along with any comments, then we will go from there.
IF you want to know more about what Ramadan, you can check Wikipedia I do not think everything on there is right but its a start if you want more information please feel free to ask me.

I was asked a few questions on FB and wanted to transfer them over here. I am not a scholar but I will do my best to give my understanding if something I post is wrong please let me know.
Q-how long do you have to fast for..and also why are you fasting,, and does every one in the family fast or just you.
A-We fast from sun up to sun down the whole month of Ramadan(lunar calendar). We fast because God told us too. As far as who should fast it says that anyone who is healthy, above the age of puberty, and sane of mind. There is allot of different opinion about things like pregnancy and stuff. I have heard that people start their kids out young but that is not necessary.
