Muslims upcountry face the challenge of fasting while working in environments where most colleagues are not fasting, turning everyday interactions into silent demonstrations of faith and morality.
While fasting is primarily intended to cultivate self-restraint and consciousness of God, researchers confirm that the body undergoes profound physiological renewal during the fasting period.
Women often carry the primary responsibility for preparing the pre-dawn meal (Suhoor) and the evening meal that breaks fasting (Iftar).
