| Ramadan: Why are we fasting? |
|
Ramadan truly is a GIFT that Allaah has given to the believers. But why are you fasting? Why give up food and drink for thirty days? What is the purpose of said fasting, and what are the benefits? By the help of Allaah, this reminder will serve to motivate our fasting, thereby helping us to keep our focus and reap the rewards available in this blessed month.

A Verse From the Quraan
“Say: “We believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us, and what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the offspring of the twelve sons of Jacob, and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and to all the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between one another among them and to Allah we submit as Muslims.” Quraan, 3:84 |
Prophetic Hadeeth
"Purification is half of iman (faith). Saying 'Al-Hamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) fills the scales. Saying 'Subhanallah wa al-Hamdulillahi' (Exhalted be Allah and Praise be to Allah) fills the space between the heavens and the earth. Salah (prayer) is a light. Sadaqah (charity) is a proof. Sabr (patience) is a shining glory. The Qur'an is an argument either for you or against you. Everybody goes out in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves." Muslim |
