Muslim all over the world start fasting today where ever they are, as this is one of the five pillars of Islam. As long as you profess the faith, you shall fast not only from food and drink but on anything that is not good, be it words or action.
All over the world, people of different culture, time zone shall start their fast before sunrise until sunset. Some will fast shorter period if the sun rises late, and the sun sets early, while others shall have to fast longer when the sun rises early and sets much later. It seems unfair from the human mind, yet it is unique in its own way. Sometimes the logical mind just could not comprehend.
Islam as Allah SWT has trusted to us through Muhammad SAW in the AlQuran, are very clear for those who seeks the truth and as such he shall abide by it. Do what is asked and ruled upon you, refrain and (do not do anything) from what that are deny to you and belief (have faith) in stories related in the Al Quran.
To some "intelectual mind" this cannot be, and as such continue to query the very sense of Islam, this is very true on both side of the human character. Those who accept Islam, shall say Allah SWT has more to the Al Quran through its meaning in between, and therefore it is imperative for us human to unearth the truth. On the other hand, there are also Muslims as well, and kafir(unbelievers) who says that those who follows blindly are not using their god given intelligent correctly. For this and this alone there are articles, books and what not about Islam which has been written, discussed through forums and debate that shall not end.
Muhammad SAW has said that "Addin nu yusrun" Islam (the religion) is simple. The only thing that you should do is to seek the truth of Islam (its knowledge) through the right mean and methods. You "must" get the correct knowledge about Islam through "Manqul, Musnad, Mutassil and within the correct Jamaah". It is for those who really wish to be truthful to the faith of Islam. This is for those who seek to be the "ONE" instead of those of the rest (i.e the other 72).
So to fast is as simple as 1,2,3 if you talk about food and drink, because if not you shall be waiting for what to eat when breaking fast approaches (some people eat themselves silly in Ramadhan, more than they do within the other months put together).
And for that alone, one need to understand Ramadhan as it is expected upon us. Happy fasting and may Allah bestowe upon us his rewards. Amin
