Saum is fast. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam. Fasting is a must for all Muslims whose religion is Islam in the month of Ramadhan for thirty days. From sunrise to sunset, Muslims in fast do not eat anything. Most of the activities are limited to prayer and charity."O you who believe,
Observing as saum, fasting, is prescribed for you
As it was prescribed for those before you,
That you may become Al-Muttaqun" (strong in your faith) (Al Baqarah: 183)
