Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Purpose of Fasting

As the beauty of the human ability that we can force our knifes into

submission, if we can force our knifes into submission Subhanallah

for, for against Halal things, then it should be much easier to

force it into submission from haram things. Right from haram

things. And that's the purpose. Only when we can do that when we

can control ourselves and not just release it in whatever it wants.

Can we actually become closer to Allah and develop Taqwa? That's

why Allah subhanaw taala says that oh people who believe fasting has

been prescribed upon you, as it was on the table before you so

that you can get in taco taco essentially is consciousness of

Allah. And the reason we are never conscious of Allah as to what he's

doing I can witness him I'm thinking about him is because we

just allow our we release our knifes in pursuance with whatever

it wants, at whatever time it wants
