JAKARTA - It is not long before it will enter the holy month of Ramadan in 2026. During Ramadan, Muslims will fast and keep their energy stable will be a challenge in the midst of the busy daily life.

One way to maintain energy, physical balance, and peace of mind during fasting is to meet the water needs. Ustadz Muhammad Assad said that during fasting it is recommended to consume water by dividing it into three times.

"In Ramadan, at sahur, three glasses of water, at iftar, three glasses, after tarawih, three glasses," said Ustadz Assad during a media gathering in Senayan, Jakarta, Friday, February 13.

Such water intake must be met because most of the human body is made up of water. Without sufficient water intake, the body will easily get tired, as well as the mental when fasting.

"Because our body is 70 percent water in the Quran, so our water needs must be optimal. We can't eat but activity, but if you don't drink it can't," he explained.

By meeting the water intake during fasting, the body will remain healthy and survive well until the end of the Ramadan fasting period.

"So this fasting is not a sprint (like running), but a marathon. This is because 30 days, and the marathon is about who can survive until the finish," he said.

To meet the water needs during Ramadan fasting, AQUA presents #TemanAdemRamadan, an initiative to invite the public to maintain physical health and peace of mind so that Ramadan can be lived more healthy and meaningful.

"Inspired by the natural coolness of AQUA, the #TemanAdemRamadan initiative is here to help people keep their bodies fresh through quality hydration, while taking care of their peace of mind at every important moment of Ramadan," said AQUA Marketing Director, Adisti Nirmala.

"The presence of special edition packaging with various expressive quotes that are close to our daily lives is expected to be a simple reminder to spread kindness to more people," he continued.

The #TemanAdemRamadan initiative comes with a number of activities that can be enjoyed by the public. One of them is "Teman Adem AQUA", a space for people to pause and rest to recharge in the midst of Ramadan.

Then there are reflective content such as studies, which invite young people to maintain physical and emotional balance. Finally, there is a special Ramadan edition packaging, as a medium of empathy and expression that becomes a small trigger for adem or calm actions in daily life during fasting.
