  ZAKAT OF THE BODY

 Everything has a zakat(tax), and
The zakat of the body is fasting.
  --Hadith of the Prophet

 So that it is
doing, without that is
giving out.

letting go that is
letting something or
someone else grow.

Mountains erode,
seas evaporate, one
creature is food for

another in the
chain of give and
take.

Sky gives
rain to earth and
plants arise. Plants give

oxygen to
air and we
survive.

There's a
principle here
so essential it

can't he named.
Our eating during
nighttime hours is a

replenishing of body for the
daytime of
doing without, and

giving out.
Allah's tax is
taken for our

creation.
