Why fasting? The goal of fasting is to develop   self-restraint. Holy Quran  states: “O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, so that you may develop  Taqwa   (self-restraint) ” [2:183]  Fear of God Love of God + What is Taqwa? Taqwa is an Arabic word. It is the state of  heart that motivates  virtuous conduct and  prevents evil action. leads to Taqwa  (Self-restraint) Example: God says about Mary in the Qur’an that she said: “Verily!, I have vowed a fast to the Most Beneficent…[Maryam 19:26].

Reward of fasting “ Every action of the son of Adam is given manifold reward, each good deed receiving ten times its like, up to seven hundred times.  Allah the Most High said, ‘Except for fasting, for it is for Me and I will give recompense for it, he leaves off his desires and his food for Me.’  for the fasting person there are two times of joy; a time when he breaks his fast and a time of joy when he meets his Lord, and the smell coming from the mouth of the fasting person is better with Allah than the smell of musk.”   Prophet Muhammad’s (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) proclaimed the reward of fasting:
Developing ethics through fasting: Social responsibility and Individual morality “ Two-fold , I learned is the purpose of fasting. One has to abstain from food and drink in order to feel in one’s body what the poor and hungry feel. Thus, social responsibility is being hammered into religious consciousness as a religious postulate. The other purpose of fasting during Ramadan is self-discipline, an aspect of individual morality strongly accentuated in all Islamic teachings ( as for instance in the total prohibition of all intoxicants which Islam regards as too easy avenue of escape from consciousness and responsibility). In these two elements- brotherhood of man and individual self-discipline-began to discern the outlines of Islam’s ethical outlook.” Muhammad Asad ( formerly Leopold Weiss) perspective on fasting in his book  Road to Mecca   [Buy the Book] Social responsibility Self-discipline Islamic Ethics

Fasting for good health ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],“ Fasting gives the body the environment to heal itself--physiologic rest”  “ Abstinence from food for a short time can in no way operate to the disadvantage of a normal person.” “ In fact, individuals affected with certain types of gastrointestinal disorders are benefited by fasting.”  “ Fasting has also been used in cases of diabetes and obesity.” “ It is a cleansing process and a physiologic or functional rest which prepares the body for future correct living.”  Recent Perspectives   by others Stated 1400 years ago
The role of fasting according to Dr Jack Goldstein*  It promotes elimination of metabolic wastes It allows the body to adjust and normalize its biochemistry and also its secretions It lets the body break down and absorb swellings, deposits, diseased tissues, and abnormal growths;  It restores a youthful condition to the cells and tissues It increases the powers of digestion and assimilation  ( absorption and utilization of food into the system)  It permits the conservation and re-routing of energy; It clears and strengthens the mind; * From the Book  Triumph Over Disease By Fasting and Natural Diet   It gives vital organs a complete rest  Fasting is good  for the human body
