Definition of the fast:

Worshipping Allaah The Almighty by keeping way from the nullifiers of the fast from the break of dawn to sunset.

Importance of fasting in Ramadhaan:

Fasting the entire month of Ramadhaan is an important pillar of Islam, as the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Islam is based on five (pillars):

Testifying that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad is His Slave and Messenger; performing prayer;

the payment of Zakaah (obligatory charity); performing Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House [of Allaah i.e., the Kabah]; and fasting the month of Ramadhaan.” [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim] 3-

Virtues of the month of Ramadhaan:

Fasting and righteousness:

Allaah The Almighty told us that fasting strengthens piety and the fear of Allaah The Exalted, and helps a person protect himself against evil desires. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {0 you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous] [Quran 2: 183]

The gate of those who observe fast (Ar-Rayyaan): Sahl bin Sa’d, may Allaah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “In Paradise, there is a gate which is called Ar-Rayyaan through which only those who observe fast (fasting) will enter on the Day of Resurrection. No one else will enter through it.
