I have a number of Muslim friends and associates.
Ramadan is rather intense. Fasting for a month from sun up to sun down including drinks. Because of the lunar year cycle, the creep in recent years has come closer to summer thereby extending the fasting hours. Throw in daylight savings then Ramadan becomes quite challenging. Some of my buddies typically lose around 15 lbs (7-8kg). I have heard the fasting produces intense feelings including the sensation of becoming close to God. I see a certain beauty to it personally.
