Ahmed Hamed – What Is The Punishment For Neglecting Obligatory Fasting

			Welcome to the program, Islam insight, a very special series essentially dedicated for a new Muslim
brothers and sisters, how do we commit ourselves to gain knowledge regarding Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him like to know is he just compulsory for him? Somebody told me that a Muslim is not
allowed to have relationship with a non Muslim knowledge revives the spirit of Islam.
		

			Brother What is the punishment for neglecting fasting right now we need to understand that every act
of rabada every act of worship has a a good news and a bad news. A good news if anyone does that. A
great reward if anyone does that. And a bad news a warning a caution and alarming factor if a person
abandons it or he neglects.
		

			Fasting is such an ibadah that a person if he neglects, number one, he'll be deprived from all these
benefits from these important aspects that we have discussed just now. He'll be deprived from the
mercy of Allah subhanaw taala, he will be deprived from the person who will seek forgiveness from
Allah subhanaw taala who fasts for the sake of Allah and his past sins will be forgiven, he will be
		

			deprived from that he will be deprived from great benefits and importance in this dunya. And in the
akhirah, he will be deprived from fasting, if he does not fast, he will be deprived from the
intercession of the fasting, as we've discussed, intercession will be done of the fasting for the
person who fast so on the Day of Judgment, if a person neglects fasting, then they will be no
intercession from the fasting, the person who fast as we said, the fasting will come on the day of
judgment as an intercession and that intercession will be accepted. So if a person does not do that,
on the contrary, he will obviously be deprived from that great help and benefit on the Day of
		

			Judgment. And there are so many other
		

			grave punishments that a person will go through if he does not fast. In fact, the scholars are with
unanimous agreement, that if a person deliberately abandons or neglects fasting,
		

			with no genuine reason, he is not traveling, he is healthy, you know, he's not sick, then he may go
out of Islam, if he abandons that regularly, he because his song is a fast is fasting, which is a
pillar of Islam, without which he cannot be a Muslim. So a person who neglects that is a great and
severe punishment on the day of judgment as well as well as in this very world. He will be deprived
from all these benefits, whether it is psychological benefits, spiritual benefits, and the rest.
inshallah, dear brothers and sisters, we were discussing about the third pillar of Islam, and that
is fasting. Fasting, as we have mentioned, is an obligation upon every Muslim, male and female,
		

			except those whom Allah subhanaw taala has granted the exemptions. It's a great Command of Allah
subhanaw taala mentioned in the Quran, and has a great objective, to achieve a person who fast
sincerely for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala, he will gain that objective by achieving the God
consciousness, which is the criteria to get closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala. Allah Subhana Allah
says, In surah hoogenraad surah number 49 is number 13. In the line at
		

			verily The one who is near to Allah is the one who has taqwa, who is God conscious and fasting helps
my brothers and sisters, you to achieve taqwa. Therefore, never
		

			neglect this beautiful act of ibadah fasting, but always observe it, especially, especially the ones
which are mandatory and obligatory for all of us. I would like to end the session with an idea with
which I began my talk mentioned in sort of Baccarat, surah number
		

			To number 183, Allah subhanaw taala says yeah you and Edina Amano all you who believe quotevalet
camassia
		

			fasting is prescribed to you come up katiba Allah Latina male publikum as it was prescribed to the
people who came before you
