This study delves into the neuropsychological and psychosomatic aspects of the Prophetic Hadith, "Fasting is a shield," utilizing a holistic approach that merges Islamic knowledge with modern neuroscience. Through a comparative analytical lens, we explore the physiological and cognitive effects of fasting, focusing on its influence on neurotransmitter activity, the modulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, and neuroplasticity. Our findings lend credence to the Hadith’s metaphor by demonstrating how fasting enhances emotional resilience, alleviates psychological distress, and promotes mental clarity. These revelations enrich the dialogue in Islamic psychology and provide empirical support for the healing properties of fasting in a faith-oriented framework.
