This tazkirah session is a virtual session held on 13^th May 2020, to remind the five pillars of Islam and the verse in the Quran that prescribed fasting for all Muslims. Dr Uthman emphasized on the purpose of fasting is to develop the quality of righteousness (taqwa), inwardly and outwardly, by abstaining from sinful deeds and training ourselves to control our thoughts and desires. He also mentioned that fasting is a deeply spiritual practice that is meant to benefit us in body, mind and heart.

There was good feedback from students who attended this tazkirah session where the students ask to advise on what we can do to fulfil ourselves during Ramadhan month. Dr Uthman mentioned that we were advised to do the sadaqah and the best of sadaqah is given during the month of Ramadan.
