Fasting in Islam according to the laws of the Shariah is to abstain/refrain during the day (from the true dawn until sunset), from intentionally (deliberately) or mistakenly (accidentally) entering / inserting anything into the stomach or that which has the ruling of being internal, like the brain, and abstaining from fulfilling sexual desires, with the intention of a worship to Allah, from one who is fit/qualified to observe the fast’.1

The above definition explains that fasting in Islam is to abstain from all breakers of the fast with an intention for the sake of Allah during the time for the fast. The great Jurist, Allama Ala Ad Deen Abideen (D. 1306 AH) has also given the definition, stating that it is to abstain from eating, drinking , sexual relations and all other breakers of fast from the beginning of true dawn until sunset for the sake of Allah (that is, as a form of worship to Allah).2

The fast of Ramadhan is a personal obligation upon one who meets the following conditions:-

  1. Being a Muslim. This means that it is not compulsory upon one who is not a Muslim and does not follow the religion of Islam.
  2. Sanity. That is, it is not compulsory upon one who is insane or suffers from mental disorder.

Tafseer

 

Surah Al Hujuraat states in verse 12 & 13

  1. O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful.

This verse, like the previous one, highlights certain injunctions regarding rights and etiquettes that are connected to one’s social life. Three prohibitions have been given in the verse, which are considered to be totally Haraam in Islam.

Dhikr

 

DUA TO BE RECITED WHEN FEELING DISTRESSED

Anas bn  Mālik (R.A) narrates that when the Prophet ﷺ would be distressed, he would recite the following. (Tirmidhī 3524)

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ ، بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيْثُ

Yā Ḥayyu yā Qayyūm, bi-raḥmatika astaghīth.

‘O The Ever Living, The One Who sustains and protects all that exists; I seek assistance through Your Mercy’.
