I had the same misconception before when I heard of fasting. I remember reading a book called "Makes Me Wanna Holler" by Nathan McCall. He was an x-convict in prison for murder, who turned his life around and became a star journalist for the Washington Post. He talked about converted to Islam in prison, and how fasting changed his life. Some of his ideas excited me, and I tried fasting so I would try to go for 24 hours straight without eating, but I would drink those Odwala drinks that were basically like smoothies. So really, I had no idea what I was doing but I was trying, at least.
But later I learned that fasting as it is done in Islam means not eating or drinking during the daytime hours from sunrise to sunset. So this time of year where I live it's from about 5:00 AM in the morning to 8:26PM in the evening.

Cam was wack when he first came out with Mase and he's still wack. And you can call whatever you want a lie, but it doesn't really fucking matter because I'm the one that will get the benefit or harm from my actions.

--- End quote ---
In Islam, religion just means way of life. Everybody has a way of life. Maybe I'm a skater, or I'm Emo, or I'm a fanatic fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and I live and die with what happens on Sunday. Islam isn't the end all be all of who I am, it's just something that I do in the same way that somebody elses life may revolve around going to KC Chiefs training camp, and eating at Buffalo Wild Wings after practice.

Word. I've changed. I don't believe in absolute truth anymore anyway. I wouldn't tell anyone that Islam is true and good for everyone in this world. Because for some people it's a fucking prison and if they practice that shit they are going to go fucking crazy. I'm a Libertarian before anything else, because libertarians believe in individual liberty and that everyone is dealing with their own personal circumstances and their own individual truth.
Like Khalil Gibran says, "Never say I have THE truth. But say, I have A truth.
