Believers, fasting have been made mandatory for you as it was made mandatory for the people before you, so that you may have fear of Allah. (The holy Quran, 2:183)
There are several passages in both the New Testament and Old Testament that discuss the greatness and importance of fasting. Even today we witness Jews and Christians to fast an optional number of days in a year by refraining from meat, milk or other foods.

The hatred that I had kept deep within me towards his father increased my jealousy, so I went toward him with every intention of bad mouthing. I asked him: “Are you the son of Abu Turab (Ali)?” He confirmed.
