Why we will be hungry? This is terrible to stop our self from eating and drinking for whole day. What we gain if we will not drink or eat. What Allah gain by keeping us thirsty and hungry? These are some of views which all those people gave when believers ask them to keep fasting. When they were told that this is the order of their Lord then most of the people try to find the lame excuses only to avoid this order. Some people think that the fasting is only in Islam. Allah in the following verse of the Holy Quran informed the whole world that this is not a new order, Allah informed us that all the apostle of Allah follow this order and all the religions or believers adopt this as the fundamental of the religion.
Kindly read the following verse of the Holy Quran as mentioned below:"O you who believe! fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may guard (against evil)."
(Surah No: 2 & Verse No: 183)
The basic purpose of this practice is to prepare against our self to guard against the evil. How we will prepare, when we feel the hunger and thrust then we will realize the pain of all those who do not have nothing to eat or drink so we will feel pity on them and help them. One more thing this will help to understand the value of the different things when we need them. Most important of all the things is that we bow our heads in front of our Lord and when we keep fasting then it means we are in the row of believers.
Whatever the reason behind this practice we do not want to know we only know that this is the order of our Lord and as a good slave we have to obey the orders. We do not need to ask the question and do not find the lame excuses because we want to obey the orders of Allah. The only reason behind this thing is that we believe in the life hereafter, and all those who do not believe have no fear in their hearts about the life hereafter so they refused to accept the orders of the Allah.
Most of the Muslims have different excuses but they forgot that this is the blessing of the Allah and our time is very short and we are running towards our dead end. We think our sins when the angel of death just came to bring us along with him. At that time we do not have time to act upon the practices of our religion. If Allah prescribed the fasting on us then it is not a new thing and this thing was happened in all the religions. If you will find then you will be astonished that the fasting of Jews and Christians are tougher then the Muslims. Allah gave us different kind of concession and relaxation but we used them for our sack, at this time we forgot that Allah Hearing and Knowing. Actually as i think the most important problem of our self is that we do not have fear of Allah in our heart.
