spiritual uplift of fasting
Fasting is not only a physical but also a spiritual exercise that has many lasting benefits.
1. heightened consciousness of god.. fasting helps one to become less preoccupied with bodily appetites, and enables the heart and mind to become free to reflect over deeper spiritual matters, such as one’s relationship with Allah and with fellow human beings. It enables a person to develop sustained consciousness of Allah- Taqwa.
2. healthy living lifestyle: A fasting person restrain and only responds to hunger and thirst in the heightened level of consciousness and discipline. Thorough fasting a person begins to appreciate the value of food. In the Quran “ healthy and wholesome food “ is described as the best of provisions. Thus fasting helps a person choose a healthier lifestyle by making small yet lasting changes to ones daily diet. 3. compassion and charity: When fasting, one should think of those in need who may be fasting but have no food at the start or the end of their fast, those whose tiny children are also having to go hungry, out of poverty. The prophet Muhammad (SM) described Ramadan as “ the month of mercy. His companions observed : the Prophet Muhammad SM was the most generous of people. But he would be his most generous during Ramadan…” (Sahih Al- Bukhari)
4. Community: During Ramadan the one who fasts has heightened concerns for the well-being of the community, both the Poor and Rich, intellectuals and labours. Community spirit is promoted as people start fasting at the same time and break their fast at the same time., they reflect together through longer prayer and deeper devotions. It is greatly encouraged that families invite each other to break their fast together.
5. fasting without the spirit is empty of blessing: Abstention for long hours can be very hard physically and spiritually, however by the end of the long month one should feel cleansed and with a renewed spirit, Ramadan is an ideal time to break bad habits, to reflect on personally and to improve one;s character. Fasting is, therefore, about much more than just giving up food and drink and hoping to lose a couple of pounds. By fasting a person reflects, acts and betters his or her character.
