I am a muslim-submitted to God alone. All submitters/muslim must read Quaran and our practices must be Quran base…following is not in Quran..it is a man made law/practices…please remove the following section….Thanks

Islam also prescribed certain days for non-obligatory, voluntary fasting, such as:
each Monday and Thursday of a week
the 13th, 14th, and 15th day of each lunar month
six days in the month of Shawwal (the month following Ramadan)
the Day of Arafat (9th of Dhu al-Hijjah in the Hijri (Islamic calendar))
the Day of Ashuraa (10th of Muharram in the Hijri calendar), with one more day of fasting before or after it.
