‘’O you who have believed! Decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.’’ (Surah Al-Baqarah 2/183) Here the dawn broke and the sun went down. Those who made intend for the sake of Allah broke their fast. They knew that just like prayer, zakat and pilgrimage, fasting was ordered to people through prophets. Every intelligent person and those who have reached puberty know that fasting in the month of Ramadan is obligatory for them.
