If you’ve asked Haneen Zreika out for lunch over the last month, I hope you weren’t offended when she said no.
Zreika, who is currently playing for the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the NSW Harvey Norman Women’s Premiership is a Muslim and has, for the last month, been partaking in Ramadan.
Ramadan is the most sacred month of the Islamic calendar and an opportunity for Muslim people to become closer to God and for families to come together and celebrate their faith.
One part of Ramadan is the requirement to fast from dawn to dusk. For Zreika, this certainly has its challenges.

They had to do it the hard way with a second consecutive slow start, but the South Sydney Rabbitohs made it seven wins on the hop with victory in Canberra over the Raiders last night to kick-off Round 8.
There is plenty of unpack from the game, but the performance half Adam Reynolds put together during the second 40 was outstanding for the visitors, and speaks volumes of his influence over one of the genuine premiership contenders.
