Fasting Prescribed By Your Creator For A Spiritual Remedy

In this video clip , #MuftiMenk makes mention of the #Ramadan verse for #fasting from the Quran

Mufti Menk Quotes in this clip, “Look at the prescription when the doctor tells you stay away from that which is high in cholesterol; we make sure like gospel- we follow it because we don’t want to have a blood test showing us that the cholesterol is a little bit high.
