Ramadan

Ramadan:

1.the ninth month of the Muslim calendar.
2.the daily fast that is rigidly enjoined from dawn until sunset during this month.

In other words, anyone who is observing Ramadan eats a huge meal once before the sun comes up and once again after it goes down. No snack, no water, nothing is taken in during the day. This lasts a month.
