Chapter 19: Sawm<br />

Sawm = fasting<br />

Fasting =<br />

not eating or drinking from Fajr till Maghrib time (just after sunset).<br />

It is Wajib to fast in the month of Ramadhan.<br />

The month of Ramadhan is the Holiest month in the Islamic calendar.<br />

Amongst the blessings of this month are:<br />

1. The Holy Qur'an<br />

2. The night of Qadr<br />

In this month, every action, whether good or bad, carries more weight.<br />

So:<br />

- reciting the Holy Qur'an is good at all times, but more in this month; AND<br />

- Lying is haram at all times, but more in this month.<br />

However, Sawm does not mean just staying hungry and thirsty throughout the day,<br />

but also to stay away from Haraam things as well.<br />
