00:07Today we discuss this fasting or psalm is more than just abstaining from food and drink from
00:13dawn until sunset. Allah says, O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed upon you, that you
00:19may become righteous. The primary goal is taqwa, building God consciousness and moral restraint
00:26through conscious obedience. True fasting is both external discipline and internal purification.
00:33It requires guarding the heart from sin. The prophet warned that if one does not leave false
00:38speech, Allah has no need of them leaving their food. Fasting is a shield and a spiritual reset,
00:44leading to the special gate in paradise called Arrayaan. Fasting is not starvation, it is
00:50transformation. It trains the soul to obey Allah, of the person who fasts sincerely.
00:55Allah says in a Hadith Qudsi, Every deed of the son of Adam is for him except fasting. It is
01:02for me
01:03and I will reward it. Unlike other acts, fasting is a private bond known only to Allah, fostering a
01:09unique level of sincerity. The prophet, peace be upon him, taught that the fasting person has two joys,
01:16one at iftar and one when meeting his Lord. Unique honors granted to those who fast for the sake of
01:22Allah. The prophet, peace be upon him, said, The smell from the mouth of a fasting person is more
01:28beloved to Allah than the fragrance of musk. Allah values your sincerity. Whoever fasts Ramadan with
01:36faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven. It is a divine opportunity for
01:41purification. Fasting will even intercede for the believer on the day of judgment, saying,
01:47O Lord, I prevented him from desires, so allow me to intercede for him. Finally, paradise has a gate
01:53called Arrayan, through which only those who fast shall enter, a mark of distinction for the patient
01:59believers. The prophet said, Fasting is a shield. It protects us from immoral desires, sinful speech,
02:06and the fire of hell. But this shield is only as strong as our behavior. If someone insults you while
02:11you fast, simply respond, I am fasting. This is true emotional discipline. Fasting builds resilience
02:19over our hunger, anger, and desires, strengthening our willpower and our obedience to Allah. It is an
02:25act of intense patience or cyber. Allah says, Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without
02:31measure. True virtue lies in moral refinement, developing empathy. The prophet warned that Allah
02:37does not need us to leave food if we do not leave evil actions. Do not just gain hunger,
02:44gain transformation. A true fast increases humility, reduces sin, and softens the heart.
02:50May Allah make us among those who fast sincerely and are honored in both worlds. Ameen.
