This trinity is especially evident in the fasting month, the month of Ramadan, the ninth of the Islamic lunar calendar (current year 1442H). A lunar month that begins with the new moon and lasts between 28 and 30 days, until the next new moon appears.
It is the month when the body, mind, and spirit are synchronized in a special way so that we remember and reaffirm the holistic way that we are human beings.
For the body, it is a training stage because you must stop eating and drinking and having sex during the daytime, without abandoning the necessary activities and duties of family, work, and study. An effort that is rewarded at the end of each day, with joy and integration with family and friends, around prayer and food. And practices that are established in the Koran (Sharia), as the supreme law of Islam and that must be absolutely halal, that is, allowed and beneficial to humans and nature. Training that develops willpower, endurance, perseverance for the success that is achieved by overcoming each day of fasting and that is reflected in the body, among others, in detoxification processes and improvement of the digestive or circulatory system, which generates a more agile mind, in addition to reducing calories, providing longevity and well-being.
