Cool post!
Just a reminder that fasting isn’t a physical act only. It is more spiritual & is to strengthen one’s character & iman/inner relationship with God & spiritual worship.

So, need to add these to the list too: - no backbiting (gossiping etc) or lying with ill intent
- being more patient & of good character & conduct while fasting (I’ve seen people who fast but then get angry easily or get lazy & are less responsible compared to when they were not fasting. This is the opposite meaning of fasting in the first place because fasting promotes us to be more patient & serious in completing our responsibilities because we are working on upholding good moral conduct).

& of course as a Muslim, doing the 5 daily prayers is the basic obligation of muslims. Without completing the prayers, of course the fast is not accepted. So it’ll be good to focus on carrying this obligation out consistently first :)

Thanks for the useful post!

Ps: forgot one more, no smoking >
