In the name of our Creator, the most Gracious, the most Merciful, the most Wise, the All-knowing;
I came across a video clip that beautifully describes the reasons why we, and all those before us were guided to observe fasting. Quite simply it is to develop, maintain and grow our “Taqwa”:
- Fear of only God,
- Mindfulness/awareness/consciousness of God,
- Warding off of evil and,
- Practicing self-restraint,
An annual reset of our ultimate purpose.
The desired outcome of this God-awareness is simply a path toward self-awareness to enable the purification of our heart and soul.
“To know yourself is to know your Creator” Prophet Muhammad pbuh
