Assalamu alaikum. Welcome to the Zaytuna College Ramadan Podcast. During this blessed month, we invite you to join the faculty, staff, and guests of Zaytuna College as they reflect upon timeless reminders from the Qur’an and the Islamic tradition.

Today’s episode is by Dr. Ali Ataie who teaches comparative religion and Quranic sciences
at Zaytuna College.

Who are the predecessors who fasted as we do now? How was fasting prescribed upon our spiritual ancestors? In this episode, Dr. Ataie discusses the role of fasting in Jewish sacred history and the lessons we can take from that history today.
