The month of Ramadan is one the most renowned religious rituals in the world for more than 1.5 billion Muslims. This study analyzes the effect of religious experience during the Muslim holy days of Ramadan on the stock exchanges of 16 Muslim-majority countries. According to the results, among 16 countries, 13 Muslim financial markets have positive returns during Ramadan, which can be attributed to the generally positive investor mood or emotion. In contrast, only 4 stock markets—Dubai Financial Market, Amman Stock Exchange, Karachi Stock Exchange, and Tunis Stock Exchange—exhibit differences that are both positive and statistically significant. Moreover, the study divides the Muslim holy days into 3 periods, where the first period comprises the first 10 days of Ramadan, second period covers the next 10 days of the Ramadan month, and the final period involves the last 10 days. According to results, while the first 10 days witness the lowest performance, the last 10 days experience the highest performance.

This study examined the effects of Ramadan fasting on various training regimes, running endurance performance and recovery in a controlled environment. Twenty male athletes (fasting and non-fasting) performed a 20m shuttle run test (20SRT) pre and post a 4-week periodized training programme. Training loads from various types of exercises, ratings of perceived exertions (RPE), total quality recovery (TQR) and heart rates were daily monitored. No significant differences existed between groups for SRT, heart rates, training volume and RPE. A strong relationship (r=0.88; p<0.05) was evident between TQR and recovery duration (modalities: stretching, cool down, swimming, whirlpool and sauna) for fasting athletes. In conclusion, Ramadan fasting does not affect the achievement of daily training goals and the improvement of endurance performance throughout a mixed endurance and strength training programme where daily undulating periodized models are used. Allowing athletes to freely select from various recovery modalities above the 26 min span daily, can eventually increase their training recovery under Ramadan fasting conditions.

Setiap datang bulan Ramadhan, umat selalu bertanya tentang apa saja yang dapat menyempurnakan ibadah puasa. Yang disayangkan, pertanyaan-pertanyaan itu selalu menyorot aspek hokum ibadah, yang lebih bersifat teknis, dan melupakan aspek substansi dari ibadah puasa Ramadhan, yang menjadi pokok diwajibkannya ibadah puasa. Padahal, kedua aspek tersebut sama-sama penting. Pemahaman terhadap substansi ibadah tanpa dibarengi dengan pengetahuan teknis, akan berakhir ibadah yang dilakukan tidak akan diterima. Kaidah ini dikemukakan oleh Ibnu Ruslan, seorang ulama fiqih Syafi'I, di dalam karyanya Azzubad.

The notion of the days of creation, culminating in the hallowed seventh day, or Sabbath, is found in all three Abrahamic faiths. While some believers held to a literal understanding of these days, others insisted that the doctrine had profound esoteric import. In the Islamic tradition, those who championed the role of intellect in understanding faith and scripture advocated the use of symbolic interpretation (ta'wil). The Arabic word ta'wil means to cause something to return to its origin or source. Among the most ardent advocates of symbolic interpretation were the Ismailis, one of the two major branches of Shi'i Islam. This article explores how Hakim Nasir-i Khusraw, the famous Persian poet and Ismaili dignitary, understood the days of creation and their relationship to a hierarchy of religion (hudud-i din) who led believers to ultimate salvation.

Parmi les rites des religions mondiales, celui musulman du Ramadan présente une particularité en tant que rite exceptionnel de « longue durée ». Pendant le neuvième mois de l’année musulmane, ce rite empreint de continuités et de ruptures mobilise l’ensemble de la communauté musulmane autour de pratiques spécifiques qui se rapportent à un double fait central dans la vie humaine, celui du rapport à la nourriture et celui du rapport à la sexualité. Pendant un temps qui renverse les habitudes nocturnes et diurnes, ce rite oblige à jeûner et à s’abstenir de rapports
sexuels entre l’aurore et le crépuscule instaurant ainsi un rythme temporel particulier auprès de toute la population. Ce rythme instaure aussi un temps de piété particulier, de vie communautaire dense et qui se donne à
voir dans une communauté idéalisée, susceptible de faire des efforts au profit d’un « bel agir ». Il propose également, pendant ce mois, des rites de commémoration dans une sorte de prolongement ou même de récapitulatif
de l’histoire fondatrice issue du moment premier de l’histoire de l’islam (voir A. Belhaj, Origine et commémorations du Ramadan). Parmi les commémorations, la première entre toutes est celle de la descente du Coran, célébrée pendant la nuit du 27 au 28 ( selon une opinion qui fait autorité dans le sunnisme, la nuit du 23 au 24 selon une opinion qui fait autorité dans le chiisme), qui rappelle donc l’expérience religieuse originelle. En somme, ce rite qui invite à un vécu spécifique conçu en rapport au sacré, à travers l’expérience (à éviter) de la transgression, provoque voire stimule la croyance ; il est porteur de significations multiples qui en font toute sa densité symbolique (voir : F. Dassetto, Le mois du Ramadan : aspects sociologiques et anthropologiques). Auteur.e.s : Abdessamad Belhaj, Naïma El'Makrini, Felice Dassetto & Brigitte Maréchal.

Recent statistics and available data show that Saudi Arabia is one of the countries with the lowest levels of physical activity and the highest levels of sedentary behavior, as well as a lack of sufficient
sleep. The absence of national guidelines on physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep duration that incorporate cultural differences have prompted the development of the Saudi 24-Hour-Movement guidelines. Promoting physical activity has been on the agenda of the Saudi
government and other national organizations over the past two decades and is a priority of the Saudi Vision 2030 goals.

With the growing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-related coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection, a parallel growing interest arose concerning the preventive therapies, dietary behaviors, and remedies that may boost the immunity of against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Further, as Ramadan intermittent religious fasting that is practiced by about one and a half billion people throughout the globe is coincide this year with COVID-19 pandemic, a growing debate rose concerning the expected impact of fasting during Ramadan month and the associated dietary and lifestyle behaviors on the body's immunity against the pandemic infection. Published literature was searched to find out how intermittent fasting and its model of Ramadan affect the various aspects related to the body's immunity against microbial infections. Intermittent fasting was found to impact immunity by changing different related elements, including oxidative stress and inflammation, metabolism, body weight, and body composition. Dietary and lifestyle modifications during Ramadan month and their impact on immunity, such as water intake and hydration status, sleep duration and timing, caloric intake and mealtime, and social and religious activities, were addressed. Further research is warranted to figure out how intermittent fasting during Ramadan affects immunity against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The dire warning for not listening to the prophet Elijah has a curse of a plague upon the world that matches the Covid19 lockdowns. Correcting the matter requires a return to the Biblical Ramadan that has delightful clues that have been missed by everyone until this research that ties in the authentic Ark of the Covenant and as well the anointed individual that brings forth the authentic relic so long sought! The season of Passover where the removal of Chametz is NOT what traditions are now teaching is explained. The season of Ramadan starts with the Passover and week of the Festival of Unleavened Bread and the count to the 50 days Festival of weeks called Shavaout. The fast of Moses and the fast of the Messiah are mysteries now solved.

Introduction
Growing evidence is suggestive that intermittent fasting likely to improve liver function; however, still the evidences are controversial to draw a definitive conclusion. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the effect size for changes in liver function tests (LFT) in healthy people practicing Ramadan diurnal intermittent fasting (RDIF), and to examine the impact of different covariates using subgroup analysis and meta-regression. Methods: Scientific databases were searched from date of inception in 1950 to the end of July 2020. The liver function tests searched and analyzed were aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin (BLU), L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and prothrombin time (PT). Results: Twenty studies (601 adult participants in total, aged 18-57 years) conducted in 10 countries between 1987 to 2020 were identified. RDIF-induced effect sizes for the LFT expressed as standardized mean difference (SMD) [95% confidence interval] were: AST (no. of studies K=16, number of subjects N=502, SMD= - 0.257 [-0.381, -0.133], I2=42%); ALT (K = 16, N=502, SMD = - 0.105 [-0.282, 0.07], I2=71%); GGT (K = 2, N=46, SMD = - 0.533 [-0.842, -0.224], I2=0%); ALP (K =10, N=312, SMD= - 0.318 [-0.432, -0.204], I2=0.0%); BLU (K =10, N=325, SMD= - 0.264 [-0.520, -0.007], I2 =70.1%); LDH (K=5, N=145, SMD= - 0.041 [-0.380, 0.298], I2=72%); PT (K=2, N=74, SMD= - 0.027 [-0.732, 0.678], I2=87%). Conclusion: RDIF induces significant but small (AST, ALP, BLU) to medium (GGT) positive changes on LFT, and may confer a transient, short-term protection against fatty liver disease in healthy subjects.

Background Although Muslim diabetic patients may be aware of their religious exemption from fasting, many still fast and adjust their medication regimens accordingly. Pharmacists have a significant potential to identify and prevent harm from medication misuse in Ramadan. Objectives This study examines Egyptian pharmacists’ knowledge regarding management of diabetes during Ramadan. It also explores pharmacists’ willingness to attend a 1 day workshop on medication regimen adjustment during Ramadan. Setting Community pharmacies throughout Alexandria, Egypt. Methods A cross-sectional study using a pretested self-administered survey was conducted among a random sample of community pharmacists. The survey included three knowledge questions relevant to counseling diabetic patients during Ramadan. Questions covered the recommended timing and dosing for metformin and insulin as well as the safe blood glucose range required for diabetic patients to safely continue their fast. Using logistic regression, a model was estimated to predict pharmacists’ willingness to attend a workshop on the adjustment of medication regimens during Ramadan. Content analysis was used to analyze pharmacists’ answers to the question concerning what they would like the workshop to cover. Main outcome measure Pharmacists’ aggregate scores for all three diabetes management knowledge questions and pharmacists’ willingness to attend a workshop on the adjustment of medication regimens during Ramadan. Results Ninety three percent of the 298 approached pharmacists agreed to participate. Forty three pharmacists (15.9 %) did not know the correct answer to any question, 118(43.7 %) 24 answered one correctly, 86 (31.9 %) answered two correctly and only 23 (8.5 %) answered all 25 three correctly. Confidence in therapeutic knowledge regarding medication regimen 26 adjustment during Ramadan was not associated with the pharmacists’ knowledge of diabetes management during Ramadan. One hundred seventy five (63.6 %) pharmacists wanted to attend a workshop on adjusting medication regimens during Ramadan. This was significantly associated with pharmacists being Muslim (OR 3.52, CI 1.70–7.27) and of younger age (OR 30 = 0.98, CI 0.96–0.99978). Pharmacists offered specific content and communication process 31 suggestions for the workshop content. Conclusion This study identifies variability among community pharmacists’ knowledge of diabetes management during Ramadan. It also shows willingness among the majority of pharmacists to learn more about the topic

In August 2011, Malaysian television station 8TV's three Ramadan public service announcements (PSA) garnered shocked responses from Malaysian Chinese viewers nationwide for their presumably ethno-condescending overtones. What may on the surface appear to be an issue of simple oversight by the broadcaster reveals upon closer examination to be indicative of two realities – the hierarchised interfaith and interethnic normative, and the increasing vocality of minority groups who seek to reconfigure this normativity. I posit that both realities are directly and tangentially productive of the very same racial-racist beliefs that were challenged. There are two facets to our inquiry – the purportedly "non-racist" intent of 8TV, and the racial lens through which the content was decoded. This paper discusses the paradox of Malaysian racial discourse through Žižek's transposition of Lacan's fantasy to the socio-political domain as ideological fantasy writ large on screen, where by alleging that 8TV's intent was racist, viewers were in fact identifying the gap between the symbolic discourse of Malay supremacy and its material realities. Moreover, by identifying with or alleging that 8TV's intent was racially-biased, it is argued that the viewers were necessarily racialist.

Purpose of Review Sleep, circadian rhythms, and fasting/feeding are important factors that affect cardiometabolic function. Here, we review recent studies that assessed the role of intermittent fasting, short sleep duration, and circadian rhythm disruption, as well as their interactions, on the risk of cardiometabolic dysfunction. Recent Findings The cardiometabolic system is sensitive to sleep, circadian rhythms, and fasting/feeding patterns. Recent data show that these factors may influence each other and hence, directly or indirectly affect cardiometabolic risk. Fasting/feeding schedules and mealtimes may cause misalignment of the circadian system resulting in several cardiometabolic disturbances. Recent data reveal that intermittent fasting (IF) improves several cardiometabolic indicators in both laboratory animals and humans maintained on IF diets during alternate day fasting, diurnal IF, or time-restricted feeding. However, most of the human studies recruited a modest number of participants and did not control for several confounding factors that may have affected the measurement of cardiometabolic parameters, such as sleep duration and timing, energy expenditure, and light exposure. Summary Current evidence shows that IF, sleep, and circadian rhythms can affect cardiometabolic risk both individually or collectively. IF, adequate sleep, and matching mealtimes with the circadian clock improve several cardiometabolic parameters. More extensive human studies that assess the interaction between the three factors in the general population are needed to complement the currently available short-term laboratory-based human studies.

Sentiamo una donna gridare. I suoi bambini sono piccoli e
tranquilli nei giubbottini e giocano tra loro, fratellino e sorellina,
a rincorrersi. Fila alla cassa, kebab e moretti. Non si trovano
le valigie: non si trovano, le hanno prese, per questo la donna è
nel panico, e per questo vedo Youssef alzarsi dal nostro tavolino
e raggiungere il proprietario. Bisogna risolvere perché la donna
e piccoli tra poco hanno l’autobus per Roma. Hanno appena lasciato
il CARA di Mineo, e queste valigie bisogna che tornino,
bisogna che si sappia chi le ha prese, con i tablet e i soldi, e per
questo chiedono a Youssef, buono e perduto, tunisino malacarne,
magrissimo lupo, che è violento quando serve, in difesa di, per tirare
a campare senza annegare. Annegare qui, nel ventre magro
della città, che tutti contiene, sfama e affama.
