Ramadan is a muslim month in which muslims do not eat or drink to feel what the poor people feel since they have no food or water, starting from Dawn till Sunset, after that you can eat/drink whatever you want, it's going to be starting today till the 17th or 18th of July.
For Short: we fast from Dawn to Sunset for a month.
But isn't that contradiction then?
Happy ramadan mobarak then.
How is it a contradiction?
I don't see how you don't eat nor drink from dawn until sunset is going to help anything. Moreover after that, eat and drink like a king; that's basically a contradiction. A simpler way would be donating food, clothes to the poor.
I am not one for telling off beliefs though.
It's not supposed to help.
First, I guess they eat like "kings" because it's also sort of a "celebration".
Not eating during day is supposed to teach people to be humble and to have empathy for those who have nothing to eat.
Would have linked you a recent video of a podcaster about ramadan, trying to teach while being funny but it's in french so :c
