Abstract

The relationship between religion and science is unbreakable. It is because the Almighty God creates it. So with the creation of the existence, the emergence and occurrence of science along with religion is also necessary. So both religion and science are two truths that lead to the creation of the existence. Religious theology, which is explained in the language of the divine, with the natural and cosmic theology, which is expressed in the language of the scholars, is both accepted and prevalent. Here we are going to coordinate the religious and scientific views on the cause and philosophy of existence and the necessity of fasting. Fasting is important not only for the health and well-being of the human body, but also for the health of the soul. Because man is a three dimensional being, having the dimension of the soul, the body and the mind, and all three dimensions together, make him meaning. In this article, the purpose is to emphasize the importance of fasting in terms of physical and mental health. In this research, we try to use a descriptive-analytical method to express the effect of fasting on the physical and mental health of humans.
