Fasting is abstaining completely from eating, drinking, intimate sexual contacts and smoking; from the break of dawn till sunset. It is a matchless Islamic institution which teaches man the principle of sincere love to Allâh.

 Fasting teaches man a creative sense of hope, devotion, patience, unselfishness, moderation, wise savings, sound budgeting, willpower, mature adaptability, healthy survival, discipline, spirit of social belonging, unity and brotherhood.

 Obligatory fasting is done once a year for the period of the month of Ramadân; the ninth month of the Islamic (Lunar) year.

 Recommended fasting: every Monday and Thursday of every week, three days in the middle of each Islamic month, six days after Ramadân following the Feast Day, and a few days of the two months before Ramadân.

 Fasting of Ramadân is a worship act which is obligatory on every adult Muslim, male or female; if he/she is mentally and physically fit and not on a journey.

 Exception: Women during their period of menstruation and while nursing their child, and also in case of travel and sickness.
