Why do Muslim Fast?

First of all let me declared my testimony of faith.

Ash hadu an la ilaha

illal lhu wah dahu la shareeka lahu

wa ash hadu an-na

Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhulah

This was translated by Muslim and Tirmizi.

“ I testify that there is no deity except Allah alone. he is one and has no partner. And I testify that Muhammad (Subhana wa taaallah) is His slave and messenger.”

(Muslim)

“ O Allah make me among those who are penitent and make me among those who are purified”.

( Tirmizi)

Muslim makes fast during Ramadan because they want to be purified and of course that is the duty of every Muslim. And usually every Muslim memorized the five pillars of Islam because it is their duty to Allah. These are the five pillars of Islam

The Five Pillar of Islam

1. Ash-Shahadah ( The Testimony of Faith)


2. As-Salat (Establishing of five obligatory Prayer)


3. Zakat (Charity)


4. As-Sawm (Fasting usually observed during month of Ramadan)


5. Hajj (A Pilgrimage to Mecca)
