RIIFS and Caritas Jordan organised a seminar on “The Spiritual Values of Fasting”, in which Dr. Rami Naffa and Prof. Amer Al-Hafi participated.
Dr Rami Naffaa discussed the spiritual values of fasting in Christianity and he said that fasting represents a very important spiritual ritual in religious thought as a means through which a person expresses complete submission and submission to God Almighty.
While Dr Amer Al Hafi discussed the spiritual values of fasting in Islam and talked about the purpose of fasting in the Holy Qur’an. Fasting in Islam is not killing or harming the body. Islam’s view of the body is based on respect and appreciation for life. Human body and spirit are in harmony in one movement that seeks to find an equation for balance.
