Ramadan

[مستر/ عصام الجاويش]

Contemplations
On the first day of Ramadan, we should ask ourselves why we fast, how to fast and what benefits we get from fasting. In fact, some people fast because they are used to do that. To them fasting is just a habit. If fasting is merely a habit , then it is useless for we fast for God's sake. Allah ordered us to fast. we obey His orders to gain his satisfaction. As for the second point which is about the way we fast, I'd like to say that fasting is not only abstaining from eating and drinking . but it is also abstaining from what displeases God such as backbiting people, telling lies, insulting and laughing at people. If you refrain from doing whatever displeases Allah, you will be pious.
