Amr Replied: Fasting in Ramadan is abstaining for God, from eating any food or drinking anything and for the married also abstaining from intercourse. This is from dawn –before sunrise– until sunset. So, abstaining –fasting– is done throughout the day, and once the sun sets, the fast is broken by either eating or drinking.
Prophet Muhammad was the most generous of all the people. He used to be more generous in the month of Ramadan. Gabriel used to meet him every night in Ramadan to study the Holy Qur’an carefully together. Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) used to become more generous than the fast wind when he met Gabriel.
Praying at night and complete the reading of Quran is also a major practice in Ramadan because of this.
