Beneficial Results of Fasting
One of the important benefits of fasting is that it refines the soul, strengthens the will, and modifies the instincts.
Although hungry and thirsty, a fasting person must abstain from eating, drinking, and sexual desire in order to practically prove that he can control his desires and lusts.
Fasting is also important from the social point of view. Fasting teaches Muslims the lesson of equality. According to a Hadith, fasting has been made obligator in order to establish equality between the poor and the rich as a wealthy person who tastes hunger will fulfil the right of the poor. God wants Musawat to be among His servants so He makes the rich taste pain so that they will have mercy on the needy and the weak.
Fasting is also beneficial for the body. Both modern and traditional medicine have proven the miraculous effects of fasting in the treatment of various diseases.
