Ramadan is a time for fasting, of course, but it’s a time for separating the physical from the spiritual. Throughout the whole year we’re focusing on our body – we’re hungry, we’re tired, we want a hug. But during Ramadan it’s a time to separate this; to focus on the soul, which wants to worship God, so this is why we deny the physical body from sunrise to sunset. That includes no drinks, no food, no smoking, no intimacy with your husband or wife. Some Muslims who are relaxed during the year will be focused on what they are supposed to be doing, and there’s a sense of the whole community doing it together. There’s more support and more encouragement.
