Fasting

fasting in Ramadan requires Muslims to refrain from eating, drinking, and anything that invalidates the fast from the break of dawn (Subuh) until sunset (Maghrib)... Allah SWT commands His servants to undergo this month-long test as a way to cultivate discipline, patience, and spiritual strength... one of the beauties of Ramadan is that it naturally trains us to wake up early for Sahur and to remain mindful of the time for Maghrib to break the fast - something many people struggle with during ordinary days, when Subuh is often delayed and Maghrib easily forgotten... among the great wisdoms of fasting is that it teaches us to be punctual: eating even a moment after the Subuh azan invalidates the fast, while breaking the fast immediately at Maghrib is encouraged and should not be delayed... the time of Sahur is also a blessed moment, known for its acceptance of prayers... with so many opportunities for spiritual growth, Ramadan invites us to increase our recitation of the Quran and seize every moment of blessing that this sacred month offers...
