(1) Love for Fasting

Muslims of the past loved to fast. Even when it was not the month of Ramadan, the entire neighbourhood was fasting as if they were in the blessed month. They fasted so much that the child thought eating in the day was a sign of the non-Muslims.

Unfortunately, our condition is the complete opposite. There is a worrying amount of people who abandon the obligatory fasts of Ramadan without a lawful excuse. This is forbidden and a major sin which leads to Hell. When these people are not fasting, they eat in front of people and smoke cigarettes. Some shameless people eat and drink in public too. May Allah protect us from heedlessness during Ramadan.

اٰمین بِجاہِ خَاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

The Fasts of Ramadan are Obligatory

It is obligatory upon every sane, mature Muslim to fast for the entire month of Ramadan. The noble Quran states:

یٰۤاَیُّہَا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا کُتِبَ عَلَیۡکُمُ الصِّیَامُ کَمَا کُتِبَ عَلَی الَّذِیۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِکُمۡ لَعَلَّکُمۡ تَتَّقُوۡنَ (۱۸۳)
