What Breaks Your Fast?
Assalam Alaikum my dear brothers and sisters first I will like to apologize for posting so late today, but I was very busy today. We have fasted for 14 days in New York so far and now we have 16 more left. Ma Sha Allah time flies by so fast. Today I will like to discuss what are the things or actions that can break a persons fast not many now what can break their fast. But before I talk about it I will like to share a hadith: Narrated by Ibn Abbas "The Prophet (PBUH) was the most generous of all the people, and he use to become more generous in Ramadan when Jibreel (Gabriel) met him every night during Ramadan to revise the Quran with him. Allah's Messenger (PBUH) then used to be more generous than the fast wind" (Hadith). Hopefully by the end of this you will learn what breaks your fast and the reason behind it.
By a person fasting it means keeping all of ones organs free from sin and some points are required for its accomplishments: 1) see not what Allah (S.W.T.) dislikes. You shouldn't see something that will distracts the heart and diverts the attention from the remembrance of Allah (S.W.T.). The Prophet (PBUH) said "The future glance is one of the poisoned arrows of Shaytaan. Whoever forsakes it for the fear of Allah (S.W.T.) will receive from him a faith. The sweetness of which he will find within his heart". Jabir (RA) relates from Anas (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said "5 things that breaks a man fast lying, backbiting, gossiping, perjury and lustful gaze". Instead a person should occupy their tongue by reciting the Quran because at least a person is doing something good and remembering Allah. The Prophet (PBUH) said "Fasting is a shield so when one of you is fasting he should not use foul or foolish talk. If someone attacks him or insults him. Let him say I am fasting (2x)" The second point is to take Allah (S.W.T.) with fear and hope. Because none of us know if our fast will be accepted or not and also so that we can find favor with Allah (S.W.T.). This is how one should be at the end of any act of worship. Al Ahnaf Ibn Qays reported that he was once told "You are an old aged elder, fasting would enfeeble you. He replied "I am making ready for a long journey. O believers to Allah (S.W.T.) is easier to endure his punishment". These are the inwardly significant meaning of fasting and what we should avoid while fasting.
So guys this is the end of my blog. Hopefully this blog has benefited you. May Allah (S.W.T.) give us tawfeeq to understand. Stay tuned for my daily Ramadan blogs. Don't forget to share and comment about any ideas you will like me to discuss about. Till then Peace and Stay Halal.
