This book was a small glimpse into one person's spiritual practice, but was hugely spiritual itself. I am not a Muslim (or anything for that matter), but the practice of fasting, and reflections on life and God were expressed beautifully. Ali is a fantastic writer, and his insight into humanity and spirituality is great. He has a strong control of language, using metaphor and description with a great effect. Meditative and flowing, it was a beautiful read.

I felt uplifted and spiritually fed after reading Fasting for Ramadan, and will definitely go back to it in the future.

A powerful and honest look at fasting as spiritual practice and how it impacts the self as well as the community.
