Fasting in Islam





In every year, Muslims fast from eating food and drinking from daw till dusk. Fasting has been considered as one of prime pillars of Islam that really deserve pondering. Fasting is seen in Islam as a way of learning patience. Patience is not the only lesson of fasting, thinking and assisting poor people is also essential part of it. Fasting, a person feels hunger and thirst, so he will remember his/ her own poor people. Zakat Alfitr which is money paid to the poor at the end of Ramadan to enable them buy their needs for eid.
Fasting is also a chance for families to get together. People get used to invite each other for having meals at the break of their fasting. Thus strengthen the family ties and helps improve love and respect. At the end of the month, people celebrate Eid Alfitr which comes as a divine gift for perfecting their duty of fasting to the mighty Allah.
