Days often pass in a blur for Sumejja Pasanbegovic. Hours go by and she is unable to physically move or get herself to run an errand, or pray, or read the Quran — all the things she had planned to do when she woke up. Sometimes, if she forgets the verses she recited a few seconds before, she cries on the prayer mat out of frustration, redoing the prayer repeatedly. She frequently cannot recall what she did for most of the day, or where the time went.

This week, millions of Muslims around the world will begin fasting for Ramadan. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is the month when the Angel Gabriel visited the Prophet Muhammad to reveal the first verses of the Quran. It is a sacred month in which Muslims seek spiritual rejuvenation through many acts of worship, the most prominent of them being fasting. For the next 29-30 days, Muslims around the world will fast from before sunrise to sunset.
