the obligation of fasting during the month of Ramadan.

Which means that you have to fear yourself you know from drop Allah. In short, the meaning of the word taqwa it is somewhat like God consciousness, piety with righteousness. So your allegedly fasting has been prescribed to you, so that you may learn self restraint. So that learn to increase yourself in toccoa God consciousness in righteousness and piety. And when a person fasts,
what happens that he feels hungry.
And normally, when a person is well fed, that gives them more energy to many times do things which are also prohibited and to commit sins. The moment you fast you action towards things which are primary goes down, and the barometer of the cloud was I that Verizon fasting helps you to improve your sister strain and gives it the quality
Furthermore, it's mentioned in the Quran in surah baqarah chapter number two, was the 185 Allah says, shall Ramzan unless he owns enough Quran
