Roza

रोज़ा
said RO-za
also written: Rozah
Meaning

The Islamic fast, especially the obligatory daytime fasting of Ramadan.

Usage & notes

Iqbal treats roza as a discipline that strengthens the will and purifies the self, not as mere abstention from food. Fasting, rightly kept, hardens the spirit against its appetites.
