Fasting in Ramadan is more than just abstaining from food and drink—it is a spiritual practice that brings immense rewards and blessings from Allah.
What Are the Rewards of Fasting?
1️⃣ Fasting Brings Forgiveness
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“Whoever fasts during Ramadan with faith and seeking reward, his past sins will be forgiven.” (Bukhari & Muslim)
2️⃣ Fasting Shields from Hellfire
The Prophet (PBUH) also said:
“Fasting is a shield; it will protect you from the Hellfire.” (Ahmad)
3️⃣ There is a Special Gate in Jannah for Those Who Fast
On the Day of Judgment, those who fasted will enter Paradise through a special gate called Ar-Rayyan, reserved only for those who fasted. (Bukhari & Muslim)
4️⃣ Fasting Increases Taqwa (God-Consciousness)
Fasting helps Muslims develop self-discipline, patience, and mindfulness of Allah. The Quran states:
“O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may attain Taqwa (consciousness of Allah).” (Quran 2:183)
Fasting is a Gift
While fasting may seem difficult, Allah has promised great rewards for those who observe it sincerely. It strengthens faith, cleanses the soul, and reminds us of the blessings we often take for granted.
