Prayer and Fasting
Level 3: Understanding Fasting (Sawm)
Outline only
Fasting is not just about avoiding food and drink: it’s about purifying the soul, controlling desires, and softening the heart before Allah. It is a training ground for taqwa, resilience, gratitude, and compassion.
This level introduces the foundations of fasting in Islam, starting with Ramadan, its virtues, rulings, and spiritual meaning. Students will explore how the body and soul both benefit, and how fasting was beloved to the Prophet ﷺnot only in Ramadan, but year-round.
Planned: 8 modules, 41 units, 120 lesson titles. 3 units are held for review.
Outline: the course plan comes from our founder's curriculum, and lessons are being written and reviewed. Module, unit, and lesson titles appear here once scholars have reviewed a level.
