Dear Anna,

Roza= Fasting
FASTING (SAWM)
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 God.
Fasting teaches man a creative sense of hope, devotion, patience,
unselfishness, moderation, willpower, wise saving, sound budgeting, 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
Ramadan; the ninth month of the Islamic year. Recommended fasting includes
every Monday and Thursday of every week, three days in the middle of each
Islamic month, six days after Ramadan following the Feast Day and a few days
of the two months before Ramadan. Fasting of Ramadan 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. Exceptions: women during their
period of menstruation and while nursing their child, and also in case of
travel and sickness for both men and women.

-Taher

To Vir S Rawat:
I did 24 fasts out of the 30 obligated.
Could not do the rest because of a heavy schedule/could not wake up for
Sehri.
