Fasting
This is to fast and abstain from eating, drinking, and some other stuff from dawn to dusk in the Holy month of Ramadan. It has a special place in every Muslim’s heart.
One of the 5 Pillars of Islam, fasting in the lunar month of Ramadan is the third pillar of Islam and it has a great impact on a Muslim’s life. It teaches tolerance, and obedience, and makes us care about the hunger of poor people. It tells us to have a sense of sympathy for the poor and starving people around us. Ramadan is there for our spiritual exercise for the betterment of our souls with a good relationship with Allah Al-Mighty. Ramdhan aims to make us Muttaqi, which means being self-protective from the disobedience of our lord Al-Mighty Allah.
Every moment of this blessed month is precious to be saved in obedience. This month will be a model month to spend life in the rest of the month of the year. We take utmost care during this Holy month in fasting, taking care of our prayers, reciting the Holy Quran, giving the charity and Zakah, offering Taraweeh prayers, Qiyamul Lail, paying Sadaqa tul Fitart, and abstaining from eating and drinking during the day because of the Hukam. This routine must be carried into other months of the year so that we can lead a submissive life.
To attain Taqwa in Ramdan, the Holy Quran is the main source to be exercised by reading and reciting it more and more in the month of fasting. The sense of reading His words to Him enhances your spiritual degree, and makes you feel being near to Allah and being loved by Him is priceless. This sense of being watched by Him with love is another precious way to enhance your spiritual degree. Ramdhan would be a great chance to acquire the love of Allah by fasting, reading the Holy Quran, and offering prayers.
