<![CDATA[Fasting is an act of worship in Islam that not only has a ritual dimension but also contains social values relevant to community life. However, in practice, fasting is often understood narrowly as an act of abstaining from hunger and thirst, so its social values are not fully realized in everyday life. This article aims to examine the interpretation of the verses on fasting in Surah Al-Baqarah, verses 183–187, and analyze their relevance to contemporary social life. This research uses a qualitative approach with library research through a review of the Quran, commentaries, and relevant literature. The results indicate that fasting, from a Quranic perspective, aims not only to foster individual piety but also social piety, reflected in empathy, solidarity, self-control, and concern for others. These values have strong relevance in addressing the challenges of modern social life, so fasting needs to be understood and implemented more comprehensively as a means of moral and social development.]]>
