Why Fasting?

The goal of fasting is to develop self-restraint.

Holy Quran states: “O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, so that you may develop Taqwa (self-restraint) ” [2:183]

Taqwa, an Arabic word, is the state of heart that motivates virtuous conduct and prevents evil action.

Salam Ramadan to all Muslims around the world.
