"Fasting"
is called "fasting" in Arabic, which literally means "stopping"
and "keeping quiet". Some commentators have also taken it to
mean "patience" which also means "self-control, steadfastness
and perseverance". This is the meaning of fasting when it is directed
towards Ramadan. It turns out that Ramadan is the month that burns away the
sins of the fasting person and cleanses him of all sins and sins, and through
this blessed month man is protected from falling prey to lust and greed.
Because "Ramadan" is an Arabic word derived from "Ramad",
and its meanings in the Arabic dictionary are "burn" and
"burn" and the word is always used masculine. ۔ The reason for the naming of this word is also mentioned in the
hadith that the characteristic of this month is that it burns the sins of the fasting
people and purifies them completely from sins and sins (provided that its
rights and manners are fully observed). Therefore, this month is called
"Ramadan".
The
five pillars and pillars of Islam on which "Ramadan fasting" is based
are the third most important pillar of Islam and its pillars. All these
meanings and demands show that in the language of Islam, in fact, the name of
keeping oneself strong and steadfast in the lubrication of lust and greed is
called "fasting".
There
are three types of desires and passions that are commonly used in a person's
daily life: a meal. The second drink and the third sexual intercourse between a
man and a woman. To abstain from these three psychic desires for a certain
period of time (ie a full month) is called "fasting" according to
Shari'ah.
The
legitimacy of "fasting" is not unique to Islam, but its pre-Islamic
legitimacy has already been established in other religions. This fact can be
attested to by the fact that almost all religions of the world today I have a
tradition of fasting. The principles and etiquettes of fasting in these
religions, as well as the rules and methods of it, although very different in
terms of different climates, nationalities and nationalities, civilizations and
the surrounding conditions and events, but such I can hardly name a religion
whose religious education system does not recognize "fasting" at all,
but fasting as a ritual in all religions of the world is still practiced by
every nation today. I have a tradition of having it in every area and
everywhere.
There
is no known date for the legitimacy of "fasting" in pre-Islamic
times. It may be that in times of horror, people themselves will go hungry and
think that our food reaches other needy and hungry people in return for us. But
this speculation did not achieve the status of a sanad in the eyes of the
microcosm.
Whatever
the reasons for the beginning and legitimacy of fasting in other religions, in
any case, we cannot claim to be the cause of the legitimacy of fasting in
Islam. Islam says that the legitimacy of fasting and its purpose is to make a
person pious and pious, to create fear in him, to make him a figure of humility
and tranquility, and in his heart and mind. May the lamp of self-sacrifice and
compassion shine for God's creatures. Thus, in the Holy Qur'an, the Almighty
says: Translation: O you who believe! Like the first nations, fasting has been
imposed on you so that you may become pious and pious!

Although
the true nature and true spirit of "fasting" is not found in any
religion other than Islam at this time, the practice of fasting formally per
sentence is practically present in almost all the nations of the world. Found
in the world.
Therefore,
in the Christian religion, fasting is considered to be one of the most important
duties of the Almighty. Because it has been proven from Jesus (pbuh) to fast in
the forest for forty days. In the same way, fasting was obligatory in the
religion of Yahya (as) who was a prophet before Jesus (as) and the people of
his ummah used to fast. Similarly, in the Jewish religion, fasting is
considered one of the divine duties. Because it has been proven from Prophet
Moses (peace be upon him) that he used to fast for forty days after being
hungry and thirsty. Therefore, the Jews generally consider fasting for forty
days in the same way as the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and consider it a
reward. In Judaism, the month of fasting begins on the tenth day of the seventh
month (Tashreen), which they call "Ashura" (ie, the tenth). This is
the day of Ashura in which the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) was
given the ten commandments of the Torah and in view of its importance and
superiority, the Torah has strongly encouraged fasting on this day. The
Shari'ah of Mousavi actually required forty days of fasting for the Jews, but
later the Jews, in remembrance of various circumstances and events, extended
many more fasts in the religion of Mousavi on their own and added to the rules
of the Shari'ah, most of which were mourning. The Jews used to make their
appearance sad and gloomy in order to express this, but Jesus (sws) came and
forbade the Jews in his time to observe these artificial fasts of grief.
Similarly,
in Hinduism, fasting is considered worship. Therefore, on the eleventh and
twelfth day of every Hindu month, Brahmin Hindus observe the fast of
"Akashi", according to which they make twenty-four fasts in a year.
Some Brahmin Hindus fast every Monday in the month of Katak. Similarly, in the
case of Hindu jogis, they fast for forty days and abstain from food and drink
altogether. In all the religions of India, "Jenny Dharma" has strict
and strict conditions of fasting, even keeping one fast for forty days. In
Deccan and Gujarat, Jenny fasts for several weeks every year. Similarly, in the
case of the ancient Egyptians, "fasting" is especially counted in the
list of other religious festivals. In Greece, only women fast on the third day
of "Themopheria". In the Parsi religion, fasting is not obligatory on
ordinary followers, but a verse from their inspired book indicates that the
command to fast was already present in their religion, especially among their
religious and spiritual leaders. It was necessary to fast for five years.
Similarly,
in pre-Islamic times, it was customary for the polytheistic Arabs to fast to
some extent per sentence, just as in the pre-Islamic era, the Quraysh in Makkah
considered fasting Ashura (tenth of Muharram) to be desirable, because on that
day the Ka'bah The cover was changed and a new cover was put on it. The Jews of
Madinah used to observe their Ashura separately, that is, on the tenth day of
the seventh month.
In
any case, the philosophy of fasting and its real purpose and true purpose in
all other nations of the world and in the religion of Islam is nothing but that
it perfumes the soul and soul of man, his desires, psyche and greed. May the
air be at peace, and may in his heart and mind be enlightened the extraordinary
spirit of compassion and gentleness and self-sacrifice for God's creatures.
