Best Answer

"The earlier generations were also commanded to fast. Allah commanded us to fast during a small portion of the day that lasts only for a month. Imagine, if we had to fast the whole year?

Fasting Was Prescribed To Us Muslims

To Remember Allah And To Get Closer To Him.

The Difficulties Of Fasting Make Us Realize The Troubles

That The Poor Experience Day In And Day Out

Allah (swt) said, whoever fasts, it will be good for him. Therefore, there is much goodness in fasting, if only we knew the amount of rewards and bounties that a fasting person will be bestowed with. Allah (swt) said:

"Fasting Belongs To Me, And I Will

Reward You On The Day Of Judgment"

Fasting is one of the pillars of Islam and Allah (swt) has not mentioned much about the rewards He has reserved for us. If we only comprehend the meaning of fasting, we would be crying and thanking Allah (swt)for allowing us to live as human beings, and providing us the ability to obey Him even while fasting.

Allah wants to train us and our soul so that we can stop living the life of an animal. They also eat, sleep and have sexual relationships like us but we as human beings have more responsibilities in life, we have a different purpose.

Allah (Swt) Wants To Train Us

From Following Our Every Desire And Demands...

Human Beings Can Demand To The Point That They Destroy

Their Souls. Allah (Swt) Wants Us To Wake Up,

To Be Aware And To Remember His Message

We must wake ourselves up and our souls by not allowing ourselves to be just like animals, eating and sleeping. He wants us to experience the journey of Imaan (faith), the reality and to be closer to Him"
