~ We fast by staying away from eating and drinking since it is the command of Allah. We do not break our fast secretly without anyone seeing us because we know that Allah sees us. By this act, we please our Almighty Lord, and gain His love and approval.
The Propher ﷺ said that Almighty Allah said:
“My subjects who fast abstain from eating and drinking to gain my approval. I am the one who will reward this.”
(Bukhari)
~ Most of the time, we do not realize the importance of things that we have until we lose them. When we fast, we get hungry and thirsty throughout the day. We realize the value of water and other bounties that we have. Thus, we remember that Allah is the one who provided us with various bounties, and we thank Him more.
~ Our stomach and other organs work day and night for eleven months. We all know that those with stomach problems are treated with a diet. In a sense, fasting works as a diet. In Ramadan first of all our stomach and then all the rest of the digestion system takes a break, and therefore we sustain our health.
The Prophet ﷺ says:
“Fast and find health.” (Tabarani)
