Why Should We Fast?

The main purpose of fasting is described in the Quran as "so that you may attain Taqwa or God-consciousness." Fasting is thus yet another instrument for bringing us closer to our natural state, our state of Fitrah and for cleansing this state from the dross of any disobedience and corruption.
"Fasting is a shield," said the noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) so simply and eloquently. And he also said: "Whoever spends the month of Ramadan in complete faith and self-rectification, his previous sins will be forgiven." Click here for Fasting
The Deen is Naseehah
Tameem ad-Dari(RA) said: "The Prophet (salAllâhu 'alaihi wa'sallam) said, (three times), "The Religion is naseeha (sincerity and sincere advice)." We said, "To whom?" He said, "To Allaah, His Book,
His Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and the general people." [Saheeh Muslim No.55] Click here for the full book (.doc) |
