Most often when Muslims are asked the question âSo, why do you guys fast in Ramadan?â the most common answer is âto empathize with the poorâ or âto know what itâs like to go hungryâ.
Now although, these answers may be partly true. Thereâs a lot more to fasting than this.
If we were to look into the Quran, when Allah speaks about the act of fasting, it in fact reveals something a lot deeper.
Allah says âOh you who have believed, fasting has been decreed upon you as it was decreed upon those before you, so that you may obtain Taqwaâ.
Quran 2:183
Meaning, that the purpose of fasting is to gain Taqwa.
What is Taqwa?
Well to answer this, letâs take a look at an amazing story, whereby Umar Bin Khattab asks Ubay Ibn Kaâab this very same question; âWhat is Taqwa?â
To which Ubay replies with an incredible example. He says to Umar:
âHave you ever taken a thorny path?â
Umar says, Yes.
He then goes on to ask him âSo, how did you travel along this thorny path?â
To which Umar replies âI rolled up my garment and was cautious as to where I would tread to avoid being pricked by the thornsâ.
Ubay, says ââĻ This is Taqwaâ.
Itâs an amazing example that illustrates the meaning of Taqwa. A concept of being cautious and careful as to where you would tread, not out of fear of stepping into thorns, but rather fear of stepping into that which Allah has prohibited.
And by fasting, we can gain this virtue of Taqwa. By abstaining from food and drink, and constantly being cautious to not eat or drink during the day, we develop a heightened sense of awareness and god consciousness.
And surely if we can learn to be cautious in avoiding the consumption of food and drink, which are generally permissible in other months, we would similarly be able to train ourselves to be much stronger and cautious from falling into that which is otherwise impermissible, such as backbiting, gossip, the unlawful gaze or disobeying our parents.
And the best thing of all is that Allah has guaranteed those who attain this status of Taqwa with many blessings as mentioned in the Quran.
The Quran on Taqwa
For instance, Allah promises to be near to and love those with Taqwa:
âTruly, Allah is with the people who have taqwaâ(2:194);
âAllah is the close friend of the muttaqinâ (45:19);
âTruly Allah loves the muttaqinâ (3:76âŗ);
Allah also promises to ease the affairs of those who have Taqwa and provide for them from where they least expect.
âWhoever has Taqwa of Allah He will provide for him a way out and provide for him from where he least expectsâ ( 65:2-3)
So if anyone asks you why do Muslims fast, tell them this. Itâs to gain Taqwa, a heightened sense of awareness and consciousness of Allah.
May Allah, the Almighty grant us all Taqwa this Ramadan.

In this episode we are going to discuss a question that may have came to your mind while you read the quran.

Islam at the Crossroads is a book written by Muhammad Asad. The book originally published in Delhi and Lahore in 1934, and was later reprinted by Dar Al-Andulas in 1982 with an additional note by the author.
The book is basically a plea to Muslims to avoid blind imitation of Western social forms and values, and to try to preserve instead their Islamic heritage[2] which once upon a time had been responsible for the glorious, many-sided historical phenomenon comprised in the term "Muslim civilization". Asad dedicates the book to "the Muslim youth of today in hopes that it may be of benefit.
