Fasting in the month of Ramadan is obligatory on all adult, sane, and healthy Muslims. Fasting means abstaining from any food, drink,  and sexual relations. Muslims fast from dawn to sunset. Fasting teaches self-control and self-restraint.

It is highly spiritual activity constantly reminding the believers to be conscious of God.  Fasting teaches Muslims to be in control of their tongue, to be respectful and to be forgiving.  But spiritual uplifting in Ramadan is once again tied with helping the needy.

2. What Allah to Him belongs all Dignity and Glory said “from the Noble Quran” :

(يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ)

"Oh you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you that you may achieve Taqwa." (2:183)

•(Taqwa is translated sometimes as piety, sometimes as consciousness of Allah, sometimes as fear of Allâh. It is derived from the word Wiqayah for "Shield" and the connection is explained by scholars: To shield yourself from Allâh's wrath by hurrying to do what He ordered you and by strictly avoiding what He has prohibited).
