In this brief video segment, the speaker addresses the question of which prophet was the first to practice fasting. He notes that scholars have differing opinions but generally agree on three key points: Prophet Adam is regarded as the first prophet to fast, performing three days of fasting each month; Prophet Noah is recognized as the first to fast for a full thirty‑day period; and the form of fasting that is known in Islam was first observed by a later prophet (implicitly Prophet Muhammad). The discussion serves to outline the historical progression of fasting practices among the prophets.
