Watch: Muslim woman fasting faints on roadside but refuses to take food

Social media users saw a heartwarming event in a video that showed the tenacity and commitment of a Muslim woman known only as Alhaja.

She fainted on a busy roadway, her resolve to observe Ramadan fasting unwavering even in trying times. Alhaja politely declined a well-meaning bystander’s offer of a malt drink to help her, citing her commitment to religion.

A bystander’s camera captured the momentous collapse of Alhaja, causing anxious bystanders to rush to her aid. They rushed to her aid and used a variety of techniques, such as lightly misting her face with water, to jolt her out of her stupor.

A kind person held out a malt drink as the incident happened, maybe hoping to console the victim.

Among them, some praised Alhaja’s steadfast dedication to her faith, commending her resolve in the face of adversity. Others, however, expressed concerns about her well-being and questioned the depth of her understanding regarding her religious obligations.
