Fasting is a shield for a person
which protects them from Shaytan, Allah’s punishment
and Jahannam. However, one needs to make sure the
shield is not damaged in any way. Otherwise it will
not be effective in doing its job. The actions that
damage this shield and render it useless are sins
like Backbiting, Lying, Evil Glance, Swearing,
Nonsensical Conversation, Arguments, Slander, Haram
Sustenance, and every other evil.
Besides the compulsory fasting in the month of
Ramadan, one should try to fast during those days
for which Rasoolullah (صلي الله عليه و سلم) has
mentioned many rewards, for example:
- 6 days of Shawwal
- Day of Aarafah
- Ashoora (9th & 10th or 10th & 11th of Muharram) |
