Fasting in Ramadan…a Non-Muslims Perspective
For Muslims, fasting in Ramadan is mandatory with certain exceptions. However, it's not only Muslims who are taking advantage of Ramadan; HEALTH meets non-Muslims from all walks of life who are also fasting and explains their reasons for doing so…
For Tina Mateen, a press officer in Dubai, Ramadan signifies peace and sacrifice.
She explains, 'It is a month not only for cleansing your body, but your heart and soul. Fasting is a test for the mind. It is an experience in itself as you learn the most important component of life: Patience/Sabr.'
Besides the usual abstinence from food and liquid, which is obligatory in Islam, for Tina, being a non-Muslim, she makes the effort to do the same as much as possible during the month. But more than giving up food and water, Tina thinks what is essential to refrain from is gossiping, hurting, or disrespecting people. 'Of course, fasting is never easy, it is a change for the system, but I guess practice makes a man perfect,' she tells.
As her father is a Muslim, Tina points out that one of the main reasons she fasts is her father. 'Other than the simple fact of mutual respect for both the religions: Christianity and Islam in my house. In Christianity, we have Lent too, the period before Easter, which is for abstinence and fasting,' she explains, 'for me the end result is the most important, I feel more patient, in better control of my emotions and a unique connection with the Almighty. My father always said that Ramadan fasting is a gateway to peace and a clear conscience.'
Having lived in the UAE for over 10 years now, freelance writer HarshikaDaryanani has great respect for the culture and religious sentiments here.

Fasting for Harshika is more than not eating the entire day. 'It signifies the victory of human will, patience, self-control, and resistance and is also a great way to give the digestive system and gut (our second brain) a break.' She picks and chooses a couple of days to fast. 'I started this out of pure curiosity. I was intrigued by the local culture and decided to experience it first-hand. At the end of it I came out with more respect for the culture and the people following it,' she explains. 'What I missed most was drinking water. It used to drain me physically and get me cranky at times too.' For Harshika, the first few days are difficult, but once you get used to it, the pressure kind of eases.

For DevinderBains, Co-Founder of Fit Squad DXB, a personal training company), the month of Ramadan tends to be a quieter period for her and many of her Muslim personal training clients tend to cut down on their sessions to concentrate on fasting.
Last year Devinder tried fasting for the first time. 'It was a last minute decision after a personal training client asked me to continue training her during Ramadan. I wanted to get a better understanding of when would be the best times to train and what best to eat when breaking the fast,' she says, and rather than just reading up about it, she wanted to try it and see the results for herself. 'I found the first year very hard and after a week of full-fasting went down to alternate days. I train six days a week and run on my days off, having to train at anti-social hours and not being able to drink water when I trained during the day made it very hard,' she notes.
According to Devinder, some of the reasons she fasts in Ramadan is so she can be better informed for her job and about the religion of the people around her. She adds, 'It's good to feel the struggle of people less fortunate than yourself. In terms of fitness and health, it is also a great way to lose body fat and a good physical and mental challenge.'
