The month of Ramadan is the right time for Muslims to improve themselves and increase worship. In fasting, we are required not to consume anything either food or drink. In addition, we must also learn to control our passions from bad things or things that can break the fast.
While filling your time while waiting for iftar, you might do some activities such as praying, reading a book, or watching movies. However, you have to be wiser when choosing a spectacle while fasting, here.
Like the series of films and series below which should not be watched while fasting because it can reduce the reward. Anything? Come on, see!
