Abstract
Summarized are the significance of fasting in Islam, the rules and regulations of fasting, types of fasting, nullification of fasting, and food practices and habits of Muslims during the fasting month of Ramadan. Some problems pertaining to fasting and their solutions are also considered, and applications of fasting to America have been pointed out. It is hoped that this paper may bring a new dimension to the sphere of cultural nutrition and encourage partial fasting as a means of curbing inflation and helping the poor, the needy, and hungry all over the world.
