The correct answer is - Frequent fasting and meditation is required to commune with Allah.
The Sunnis and the Shiites are the two biggest branches of the Islam. In general, they are pretty much the same, and the main difference and division between them comes int he different interpretation of certain things in the Qur'an.
The Islam does have rules where the people should be fasting, but that is not a frequent occurrence, instead it is only in certain parts of the year.
The meditation, on the other hand, is not something that is connected to the Islam, and the two biggest branches of it. The meditation is a practice that is common in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia, where the Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Taoism, are the main religions/teachings.
