Benefits of Fasting
Ramadan is a month of fasting and prayers for the Muslims. The fast consists of total avoidance from food and drink from dawn to evening. There is however, a greater significance to fasts than just avoidance from eating and drinking. The real purpose of fasting is helping man to avoid sins, and cultivating virtues. Thus the Quran declares that the fasts have been prescribed with a view to developing piety in man. The most important consideration in undertaking a fast is to seek nearness to God, and seek His pleasure and Forgiveness. So it generates a spirit of piety in man.
Fasting makes us deeply conscious of the pains of hunger and discomfort suffered by the less fortunate among our brothers. They have to tolerate difficult conditions all through their lives. So it promotes in man a spirit of sacrifice leading to change towards his suffering brothers. Fasting gives man an unfailing training in endurance, a spirit of acceptance. This could well prepare him to tolerate the unchangeable situations in life. Fasting develops courage; strength to overcome the hard situations in life with a cool and tranquil mind.
It sharpens his power of concentration to overcome obstacles through a vigorous exercise all throughout the month, leading to a steeling of his will power and resolve, which could help him in challenging situations in life.
