I am in this country of Muslims during Ramadan and have decided to partake in their fast with them. It lasts only from sun up to sun set and during that time, there is no eating, no drinking, no smoking, and no sexual intercourse. I also purchased the Koran and will read it as I go through the middle east to try and understand the people a bit better, although the bible did not so much good as knowing western capitalism while in Europe but having read the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings, I will see if it helps me to understand the Jews when I arrive in their area for the Israelites I meet in Amsterdam, it did not help so much, but they were young and not interested in the organizations of their ancestors.
