Fasting and Taqwa
الحمد لله الذي جعل الصيام جُنّة ، وجعله سبيلا موصلا إلى الجَنة ، وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشهد أن محمداً عبد الله ورسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين ومن تبعهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد۔
Allah Almighty says:
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ۔
“O believers! Fasting is prescribed for you—as it was for those before you, so perhaps you’ll attain Taqwa” [Surah Baqarah 183]
