The purpose of fasting during Ramadan is to remind Muslims that there are things more important in life than food. Other than just fasting, its common to give up at least one thing that you think you could not live without or like for the 40 days of Ramadan.

AnswerNote on the above: The month of Ramadan is 29 or 30 days (it is a lunar calendar month). So, fasting Ramadan is never continues for more than 30 days.

The benefits of fasting during the month of Ramadan can be outlined mainly in the following:

  • The most important benefit of fasting is obedience to ALLAH (God) as He commanded us to fast the whole month of Ramadan.
  • Second, it leads to spiritual self purification and full submission to ALLAH (God).
  • Third, it is a motivation not to approach what is prohibited to be done by religion. If you used, during fasting, to forbid yourself from eating food, drinking, doing sex with your partner of marriage (things that are allowed out of fasting) then you will be used to forbid yourself from doing what is prohibited to be done as drinking Alcohol, gambling, prostitution, cheating, etc...
  • Fourth, you will have closer feeling with the poor suffering and you will be more tending to give donations and charities to those who need.
