How fasting in Ramadan was taught and learned as children can influence how we attach ourselves to it. The reward system that works in constructing meaning-making differs between fasting and solat (prayer). Also, social learning made fasting and Ramadan more memorable. Perhaps, it explains a little bit why it is quite common for us to find some Muslims fast in Ramadan but abandon solat.

We explore this subject in my recent book, PEDAGOGI RAMADAN (The Pedagogy of Ramadan).
