It’s 13 days to the blessed month of Ramadan.

Fasting is prescribed not only to restrain the body, but to nurture taqwa and discipline the soul. Through hunger and self-restraint, we become more conscious of Allah, more mindful of our actions, and more compassionate toward others.

Allah says:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

“O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain taqwa.”
— Surah Al-Baqarah 2:183

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Whoever fasts Ramadan with faith and seeking reward will have his past sins forgiven.”
— Sahih al-Bukhari 1904, Sahih Muslim 1151b

Fasting is therefore not merely about abstaining from food and drink, but about cultivating sincerity, patience, humility, and deep consciousness of Allah.

Action for today:
Reflect on the inner purpose of fasting and make du‘a that Allah grants you taqwa through Ramadan.
