i. During the month of Ramadhan, the believers learn to curb their desires and check
them against transgression, extravagance, and the yielding to the lower desires, all of
which degenerate man and bring him to the pit of self-destruction and annihilation.
ii. Fast fosters a strong will, teaches patience and self-discipline, the ability to bear
hardship and tolerate hunger and thirst. In short, it brings about a clear victory over
one's illicit desires and selfish impulses.
iii. It is a moral education, a nourishment of supreme virtues. It teaches the believer to
abandon vices, to control emotions and instincts, to curb the tongue against saying
what is wrong or inappropriate and the conscience against contemplating upon
wrongdoing or rebellion.
iv. It promotes the spirit of unity among members of the fasting community; it teaches
them humility and humbleness and instills within them the feeling of equality before
Allah (s.w)
v. It promotes the spirit of charity and compassion towards the poor and the needy, and
it reminds each believer of the needs of other believers. Muslims share with each other
Allah's blessings unto them.
vi. The believers strengthen their ties with the Almighty, since they express through fast a
continuous desire to obey His Will and carry out His commandments.
vii. The rich have to observe it as well as the poor, the women as well as the men, the
influential and powerful as well as the weak and downtrodden: they all have to
observe the fast thus it promotes the spirit of brotherhood and unity among the
Muslims all over the world.
viii. A person, who fasts with full faith in Allah (s.w) and expects a reward from Him, will have all
his past sins forgiven, thus saum during Ramadhan is highly rewardable.
ix. It is an obligatory act to all the Muslims in the month of Ramadhan as it was ordained to the
ancient communities the main goal is to make us God fearing.
x. It has so many medicinal benefits like the accumulated fats in the body are burnt down thus
