Assalamualaikum, and hi! For this week usrah our discussion is about fasting. It is one of the five pillars of Islam. Thus, it is very important for us to know the reasons behind fasting during Ramadhan.
The virtues found in fasting for Muslims is to learn self-restraint from wrongdoing. Other than that, fasting also for self-discipline, developing God-consciousness, developing self-control, purifying the body, and empathising with the poor and hungry. Studies also mention that fasting also good for physical and mental health.
“Allah says in Quran: “Every deed
of the child of Adam is for himself, except for fasting. It is for Me and I
shall reward it.”
Hence, fasting people would be distinguished and honored on the Day
of Judgment as they would enter Paradise through a special gate called
Ar-Rayyaan. However, those who violated their fasting by committing sins and
wrongdoings that jeopardize such an act of worship will be excluded.
