Описание: The Fast That Leads to Taqwa | Ramadan Reminder | Sheikh Halis Bayancuk

In his Ramadan reminder, Sheikh Halis Bayancuk explains the question “Why Do We Fast?” through the tafsir of Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 183 — the verse that teaches the connection between fasting and taqwa.

How does fasting, which leads us to taqwa, strengthen our willpower?
Why is fasting described as a journey?
What should we be mindful of while fasting during Ramadan?

In this lecture, many of these important questions are answered.

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَۙ
“O you who have believed, fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain taqwa.”
(Qur’an 2:183)

In his tafsir of this verse, Sheikh Halis Bayancuk explains the significance of fasting and how it elevates a believer toward taqwa — a state of consciousness, caution, and protection from sin.

He emphasizes that fasting is not only an act of servitude to Allah, but also a means of purification for both body and soul. By refraining from lawful desires for the sake of Allah, a believer disciplines the nafs, strengthens self-control, and develops a firm will.

Highlighting the central role of taqwa in a believer’s life, Halis Hoca explains that fasting is one of the greatest means of attaining it. Through fasting, a person learns restraint, patience, and sincerity — qualities that protect them from falling into traps and sins.

This reminder presents fasting not merely as hunger and thirst, but as a transformative act of worship that shapes character, purifies the heart, and brings a believer closer to Allah.
