Exactly what are the benefits derivable from fasting in the month of Ramadan? As at the last time I ruminated over this question, I discovered nothing less than twenty lessons and benefits of this month for the Muslim Ummah and indeed the world at large...
“O PEOPLE! The month of the Almighty has come. This is month is the best of all months in the reckoning of the Almighty. Its days are the best of days, its nights are the best of nights, its hours are the best of hours. This is a month in which you have been invited by Him. You have been given the opportunity in this month to receive the honors from the Almighty, the Merciful” – Prophet Muhammad
Thus he who fasts conscientiously becomes an unassailable and an-inimitable fortress against the devil and its agents; you cannot be the beloved of the Almighty and still become a prey to earthly principalities. Thus fasting, one of teachers reminds us, develops in the Muslim the ideals of courage, fortitude, and a fighting spirit to surmount the heavy odds in life with a cool and tranquil mind.
