Special connection with Allah always

BismillahirRahmanirRahim
Assalaamu alaykum

I pray that you are well.

Fast keeps special connection with Allah. The specialty of fasting is forbearance and sacrifice, as it is an action of the mind and secret from public eye, but all other actions fall within human eyes. Nobody sees fast except Allah as it is a secret action with sincere patience.

The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: Fast is half of patience and patience is half of truth. The patient will be given rewards without measure. Paradise has got a gate named Rayyan. None except a fasting person will enter Paradise by that gate.

The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to Aisha, Allah be pleased with her, Knock at the door of Paradise. She asked, How? The Prophet said, With hunger, specially when fast controls the devil, shuts his path and makes narrow its passage.

The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "The treasures of the world were presented to me. I rejected them and said: I shall remain hungry for one day and take food on another. When I shall take food, I shall praise You and when I shall remain hungry, I shall seek humility from You." He also said, "The best fast is that of my brother Daud. He fasted for one day and broke it on the following day."

Men and women who have surrendered, believing men and believing women, obedient men and obedient women, truthful men and truthful women, enduring men and enduring women, humble men and humble women, men and women who give in charity, men who fast and women who fast, men and women who guard their private parts, men and women who remember God oft -- for them God has prepared forgiveness and a mighty wage. Qur'an Al-Ahzaab 33:35

Allah knows best.

May Allah bless your day. Ameen.
