How To Observe Prophet David Fast

I want to observe Prophet David Fast. How to do it? Many questions asked about how to fast like what Prophet David did. The main information about how is Fasting of Prophet David is what written in Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 31 :: Hadith 197. "Fast one day and give up fasting for a day and that is the fasting of Prophet David and that is the best fasting."

Prophet David Fast is a heavy fasting. This fasting is not recommended for people who spend many powers when doing their daily job. What we hope from this fasting is to get useful things for our body and soul. So, don't make us suffer by observing this fasting even we feel that we can do it. But, if we think that we are able to do this, we can start any time we want to do it.

There are many fastings in Islam that is easier to observe. We can fast twice a week on monday and thrusday. Or we can fast three times a month at the 13th, 14th, and 15th day of each lunar month, and many more.
