    Question for Muslims, particularly those withsome knowledge of Christian beliefs, something just completely jumped in to my head out of the blue and made me wonder about something. I'm Scottish, there was a news piece on my TV earlier today discussing Ramadan for Muslims onour northernmost islands where there is only a few hours of darkness and how there is a debate about altering Ramadan so folks don't have to go17 hours without sustenance.

    Anyway, they discussed the joy of 'breaking fast' among fellow Muslims and how it brings their community closer togetherand the words they used 'breaking fast' made 'breakfast' pop in to my head and it got me wondering where that term is from originally. Did Christians borrow it from Muslims or did Christians once fast themselves?Did we at one point have some commonality of certain things?

    I know I could wiki this, but Wikipedia is shite and I prefer debate and seeing a variety of interpretations. Thanks in advance, I might not get back for a few days – I'm quite a YouTube nut so my notifications jump to 99+ within hours and it takes a few days to sift through stuff I've commented on, but yeah – thank you forany insight you give:)
    Peace be upon you :)

    I'm fasting with my wife. I'm not Muslim, yet. I love her, and I want to support her. Thank you for this video. I would have had an omelette, something heavy and greasy. My wife would tell me to eat Sellou. I would laugh at her. Not any more. Ha ha.
    Wish me luck.

    Ok so according to Islamic rules, the length of a fast is governed by the rising and the setting of the sun. This I get.

    But this can cause a huge problem for those who live close to the poles. Meaning the closer one get to the poles, the longer your days or nights become. They can eventually extend for up to several months each.

    QUESTION: Given this fact how would a Muslim wanting to honour the fourth Pillar of Islam do so without starving yourself to death?

    QUESTION: Was Mohammad not unaware of this?.

    Ramadan Mubarak to all! Ramadan is the practice to discipline oneself in which the period of fast gives chance for more worship.
