We go to The Red Enterminal for are meats and food. (Malik Z. Jackson May 20, 2010, Efekan Tatar " Effe Tate") Since Ramadan is a special time, Muslims in many parts of the world prepare certain favorite foods during this month. It is a common practice for Muslims to break their fast at sunset with dates //(iftar),// following the custom of Prophet Muhammad. This is followed by the sunset prayer, which is followed by dinner. Since Ramadan emphasizes community aspects and since everyone eats dinner at the same time, Muslims often invite one another to share in the Ramadan evening meal. Some Muslims find that they eat less for dinner during Ramadan than at other times due to stomach contraction. However, as a rule, most Muslims experience little fatigue during the day since the body becomes used to the altered routine during the first week of Ramadan. (Malik Z.

 * I'm a muslim so I can't eat certain food, for example pork or anything made from a pig,** Muslims eat Halal foods. This involves a blessing and a ritual killing of the animal.Muslim people have a strict diet. Because we cannot eat just any type of meat, the meat we eat has to be halal, as in, when the animal is being cut, it must be cut in a special way. As in the people who cut it have to say a special prayer. Saying that, they are cutting this animal in the name of Allah. Also, we cannot eat pork, even if it was cut in the special way, pork in forbidden in our religion. And we cannot drink alcohol, or anything with alcohol. That is also forbidden. Other than that, we can eat everything else. (Malik Z. Jackson May 20, 2010, Efekan Tatar " Effe Tate")
