We all know that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam said that fasting is a shield.
But how? Number 1 fasting protects us from
Shaitan
as the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said that
the Shayatin are chained up, the influences of
Shaytan are weakened
and restricted in the month of Ramadan.
Number 2, duas are accepted. Because when we
make Dua, every time we say
or we're fasting, imagine that dua has a
greater chance of being accepted, and there's no
better dua you can make than that.
3, it restricts the desires of the nafs
because we know that one of the keys
to really exploiting our nafs is our diet
and overeating and opulence. So when we're fasting,
we're restricting the influence of the nuffs.
Number 4, friendships in the people that we
hang around because when we're fasting, we tend
to congregate with the righteous and the.
Be with those who make
be with those who worship Allah. So our
companionship becomes better.
And then finally,
unhealthy attachments to the dunya are restricted while
we're fasting because every day of Ramadan reminds
us of our death. We start fajr like
we're young, we end after Asr like we're
old, we break our fast, it reminds us
of Jannah, and that distances us from an
unhealthy attachment to the dunya.
