description for 2 sunnah fasts
Sawm is an Arabic word for fasting regulated by Islamic jurisprudence. In the terminology of Islamic law, Sawm means "to abstain from eating, drinking and sexual intercourse". The observance of ''sawm'' during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, but is not confined to that month. ''Ṣawm'' is derived from ''ṣawmā''. Literally, it means "to abstain". For example, the Muslims of Afghanistan, India, Iran, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Central Asia use the word ''rozah'' which comes from the Indo-Iranian language of Dari. In Turkey, Sawm is called ''oruç'' (compare Kyrgyz ''öröz''), while the Malay community in Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore call it ''puasa'', which is derived from Sanskrit, ''upvaasa''.
