Islam aims to transform the whole life of man into a life of worship. Fasting is the second act of worship that Allah enjoins upon the Muslim that help us come to that life of total worship.<\/p>\n

Sawm or the Fasting means abstaining from dawn to sunset from eating, drinking and sex.<\/p>\n

Like the prayer, this act of worship has been part of the Shari`ah given by all the Prophets. Their followers fasted as we do.<\/p>\n

However, the rules, the number of days, and the periods prescribed for fasting have varied from one Shari`ah to another. Today, although fasting remains a part of most religions in some form or other, people have often changed its original form by accretions of their own.<\/p>\n

O Believers! Fasting is ordained for you, even as it was ordained for those before you. (Al-Baqarah 2:183<\/p>\n

Why has this particular act of worship been practiced in all eras?<\/p>\n

Ramadan is earmarked for all Muslims to fast together, to ensure similar results, turning individual into collective i`badah, and suffusing the whole environment with a spirit of righteousness, virtue and piety. As flowers blossom in spring, so does taqwa in Ramadan.<\/p>\n

The Prophet, blessings and peace be on him, said:<\/p>\n

Every good deed of a man is granted manifold increase, ten to seven hundred times. But says Allah: Fasting is an exception; it is exclusively for Me, and I reward for it as much as I wish. (Al-Bukhari, Muslim)<\/p>\n

So, how do we fast in Ramadan? what is true spirit of fasting as an act of worship? And what is the wisdom behind fasting? How can we reap the benefits of witnessing the blessed month of Ramadan?<\/p>\n

In this Special Folder (All About Ramadan), we will focus on fasting and its related issues.<\/p>\n
