While we’re all aware how scientifically advanced the Quran and the Sunnah are, it’s still always amazing to see scientific evidence that confirms the things we’re taught. In this case, we found an amazing TED Talk from a neuroscientist who talks about the benefits of fasting. It’s science–and a pillar of Islam– y’all.

It’s one of the pillars of Islam…not ‘Sunnah’, guys!
They posted this video to encourage Muslim women to fast without thinking they are hurting their bodies.
Yes, I know. It’s awesome to know the benefits of fasting, but it’s a whole lot more than sunnah.
