Fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of
Islam. This is because the prophet (peace be upon him ) said Islam is upheld by
five pillars: first, to bear witness that there is no other Got but Allah and
that Muhammad is his messenger. The second is to pray regularly. Third, to pay
zakat to the poor. Fourth, to fast during the month of Ramadan. Fifth ,to visit
the house of Got in Macca once in a lifetime, for those who are able to make
the journey.
Fasting can be defined as abstaining from eating,
drinking, smoking and having sexual intercourse from dawn to sunset. Fasting
for the month of Ramadan was prescribed during the second year of the
Hijra.Fasting was an ancient form of worship prescribed by God from the
beginning of time. The aim of ordering people to fast is that they should learn
how to be patient, to have good morals, to purify their hhearts,to ennoble their
character and to be gentle in dealing with people. One should feel the
sufferings of hunger and thirst in order to be quick to help those who are
suffering when seeing them. One must always learn to fear of God and His mercy.
