"Don't suffer in vain. Even if you fast you won't be rewarded. Is like a civilian following a queue where soldiers are receiving their salary. It's waste of time. Only Muslims will be rewarded for their deeds not only fasting."

@ExPakistan shared:

"Interesting… fasting for discipline and hoping to be better, while borrowing someone else’s faith to do it. As an ex-Muslim atheist, I can tell you: self-improvement doesn’t need inshallah—it needs honesty with yourself. "

@qhibz added:

"Good, but remember that fasting during the month of Ramadan is not only about refraining from food and drink, but also about self-control and avoiding things that can invalidate the fast."

@MuazXint said:

"Fasting is not only religious thing.. its to let humans practice proper discipline over the demands of their human greed.. hunger one of the many. let your body consume all the fat during this 30days. may god bless you and give you a better health and wealth."
