Kapanlagi.com - Entering the month of Ramadan, fasting becomes the obligation of all Muslims. As a parent, Dewi Perssik has apparently taught her child, Gabriel, to fast since infancy. Dewi revealed this when contacted by Kapanlagi.com on Friday (25/4).

"I taught him to fast from an early age. Because the first in a child's life is a reflection of their parents. I teach fasting from infancy until 4 or 5 years old, restraining oneself from thirst, hunger, words, attitudes, and bad deeds," said Dewi.

Now, Gabriel is growing up. He has been fasting at the age of 12. He revealed a number of mandatory menus for breaking the fast.

"Dates, water, sweet tea, opor, chicken broth, and rendang must be provided," he said.

3. Starting with Something Sweet

Hearing that, Dewi Perssik added that their iftar usually starts with sweet food.

"Start with something sweet to have energy, then perform prayer, after that have a heavy meal. If you directly have a heavy meal, you will feel sleepy and cannot perform worship properly," she concluded.
