US actor Vin Diesel praises spirit of Ramadan

‘Fast and Furious’ star Vin Diesel expresses admiration for the benefits of fasting and discipline during the holy month of Ramadan.

In a video posted on social media recently, Diesel along with his friend, hip hop artist Karim Kharbouch, wished Muslims around the globe a blessed Ramadan, which is Islam’s holy month of fasting.

“We are doing another creative session; it’s right before a very important holiday, Ramadan. I’m proud that my brother here will be doing Ramadan,” said Diesel, adding that, “I might be influenced.”

Diesel added that the concept of Ramadan inspires him and sees it as a must for anyone who wishes to discipline themselves.

“The concept of [Ramadan] is so powerful and probably be good for anybody, anybody in life to be able to experience that kind of discipline for that long,” Diesel said, referring to Muslims’ task of fasting from dawn to dusk for 30 days.

“It could be really recharging and re-healing,” the star added.

Kharbouch, for his part, said that he is trying to convince his “brother” to join him in this spiritual journey and wished Muslims a blessed Ramadan as well.

“Yeah, I’m trying to get my brother to do Ramadan with me, man. Ramadan Mubarak,” Kharbouch announced.

The holy month of Ramadan provides opportunities for Muslims to be closer to God and also to discipline their souls. Followers are tasked with abstaining from eating and drinking as well as being more mindful to not commit sins.
