Fasting is something that catches people’s attention, especially in the West. I remember going to school and during lunch time, I would just sit and have nothing in front of me. My friends would ask “Aren’t you hungry or thirsty?” and I would reply it’s an order from the Creator that is actually beneficial from all aspects, both mentally and physically. Then I would explain how it is and from time to what time we fast etc.
The rewards for fasting in Ramadan are countless and only God knows all its benefits known, the following are very important reasons for fasting in Ramadan, and why everyone, not just Muslims, are encouraged to take advantage of this unique social and spiritual experience.
#1: Spiritual Purification
One of the primary benefits of fasting in Ramadan is that it purifies the mind, body and spirit, leading to greater clarity, sensitivity and health.
#2: Health
It has now been scientifically documented and demonstrated that one of the most effective factors in improving human health is the reduction of intake and consumption.
Fasting allows the digestive system, the engine of the body, to rest from the normal demands of processing and breaking down food, freeing up system resources to cleanse and purify the body of accumulated toxins, thereby allowing more effective healing and tissue repair.
#3: Family and Community
Ramadan brings together family and friends. It strengthens and creates positive relationships with the community.
#4: Empathy and Compassion
Most of us are spoiled in this world, but due to the lack of empathy, compassion and solidarity among human beings, there are many throughout the globe who still struggle with hunger, poverty, lack and scarcity.
When a human observes fasting in Ramadan, he or she feels the hunger that many experience daily as a normal consequence of their circumstances.
#5: Restraint and Self-Discipline
Today’s modern world and its culture are largely defined by materialism and desires. This results in the decline of human consciousness, the regression of world culture and the suppression of the soul.
Through fasting, a Muslim consciously limits this by practicing restraint and self-discipline, separating him or herself from the animal kingdom, as everyone knows that animals only eat and have sex.
#6: Focus
With the constant demands of modern life, it’s all too easy to become lost and forget who we are, to unconsciously forget our divine purpose and destiny.
Without constant reminder, we become lost in the dream of dunya and become disconnected from reality.
Fasting in Ramadan for thirty days is a powerful practice in restoring and strengthening focus, direction, balance and purpose to our lives.
