History of Ramadan Fasting and Fasting of Previous Prophets
EnglishProphet David used to fast intermittently, fasting one day and one day not fasting. In the Old Testament it is stated that the Prophet David fasted for seven days when his son was seriously ill. In order to ask God for healing for her son, she fasted while shutting herself in her room, and constantly weeping with sorrow.
On the seventh day of his fast, his son died. After knowing that, he did not continue his fast anymore. So, you could say that the tradition of fasting is as old as human civilization.
According to a prominent scholar, Sheikh Wahbah az-Zuhaili, the obligatory fast of Ramadan for the people of the Prophet Muhammad SAW contains so many benefits, both empirical and spiritual.
The implementation of fasting is a manifestation of obedience to the commands of Allah SWT, which can keep a Muslim away from the torment of Allah SWT, because fasting is a means of atonement for sins.
In addition, he said, fasting is also a means of moral education that can give birth to noble temperaments.
Fasting can be a powerful tool to combat lust. Fasting teaches honesty, patience, discipline, clears the mind. In the context of human relations, fasting can foster a high sense of affection and brotherhood.
