By fasting, we mean that they don't eat or drink from dawn to sunset for the whole month; sometimes they fast for 30 days and sometimes for 29 days, and it's all according to the moon.

Fasting is one of Islam's five pillars, which means that it’s a must for all Muslims besides children, pregnant women, and ill or travelers.

Muslims have two main meals in Ramadan (Futoor and Suhoor), Futoor is the meal Muslims eat to break their fast, and Suhoor is a light meal before the fasting begins (Pre-dawn).

There are many nullifications of fasting, such as cursing.
