Assistant Lecturer Abdul Salam Al-Mousawi from the College of Islamic Sciences delivered a lecture titled “The Cognitive Dimension of Fasting in the Month of Ramadan” during his guest appearance at the Cultural Palace in Holy Karbala.

The lecture explored the significance and uniqueness of fasting compared to other acts of worship. Al-Mousawi emphasized that the selection of Ramadan as the designated time for fasting was not arbitrary but was due to the month’s profound spiritual and cognitive characteristics.

He highlighted the relationship between the obligation of fasting and the month of Ramadan, explaining that fasting curbs human inclinations toward wrongdoing to the greatest extent, while this blessed month simultaneously expands opportunities for righteous deeds to their maximum. This interplay facilitates an individual’s spiritual and cognitive elevation in a way that is unparalleled in other months.

This lecture is part of a broader initiative aimed at enhancing religious and intellectual awareness by emphasizing the role of worship in self-discipline and moral refinement.
