Islamic Fasting
If we talk about Islamic fasting then it is called SAWM in Islamic
terminology. Fasting is the third pillar of Islam. SAWM is Arabic word means to
restrain from eating and drinking in daylight hours. It is among the five
pillars of Islam and it is mandatory (FARD, compulsory) for all Muslims in the
holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan (RAMAZAN) is the ninth 9th month in Islamic
calendar, Ramadan is a very holy and sacred month in which every adult Muslim
fasts for the whole month.
Islamic fasting is different from other fasts it is not only
the act of abstaining food and liquid But fasting precludes eating, drinking, smoking,
watching bad things, and saying bad words. Acting sincerely from dawn to sunset
for the sake of Allah, It is an act to seek nearness of Allah. The remote aim
of it to empathize the poor ones who don't always have food, to thank God
(Allah) for making among the fortunate ones that we have food and other stuff.
Fasting also carries different spiritual meanings it teaches
us how to control desires and yearnings i.e. hunger ,thirst, anger, sex and immoral
thoughts, if one doesn’t fulfil all condition and just only stops him or herself for food
and drink then it is only like a starvation and that person will not accomplish
the actual spiritual benefits of Fasting.
Spiritual Benefits: fasting serves to clean inner soul by teaching
patience and self-control to help control temper and passion not in the month
of Ramadan but after it whole year.
Physical benefits: it includes reduces risk of cancer, insulin resistance, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, immune disorders and
most generally slowing aging process and helps to controls obesity and very effective in improving metabolic system.
