Sawm
Sawm (Arabic: صوم, plural: Siyam) is an Arabic word for fasting.
Fasting is the third of the Five Pillars of Islam
Allah prescribes daily fasting for all able, adult Muslims during the whole of the month of Ramadan the ninth month of the lunar calendar, beginning with the sighting of the new moon.
Muslims of Central Asia, Afghanistan, India, Iran, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Turkey use the words roza /rozha /roja /oruç, which comes from Persian. While the Malay community in Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore call it puasa, which is derived from Sanskrit, upvaasa. Puasa is also used in Indonesia, Southern Thailand and Southern Phillippines.
Fasting in the Quran
 |
| Surah Al-Baqara : Verse No 183 of 286 |
O Believers! Fasting have been made obligatory upon you as were made obligatory upon those before you, so that you may become pious.
 |
| Surah Al-Baqara : Verse No 185 of 286 |
The month of Ramadan in which Quran was sent down, the direction for the people and guidance and clear signs of judgement; that whoso of you finds this month, necessarily, he should fast in it, and whoso is ill or on a journey then same number of fasting in other days; Allah desires facility for you and desires not hardship and for this, that you should complete the counting and speak of the Greatness of Allah, as He guided you and so that you may be grateful.
