On Fasting (1) - Introduction and the Merit of Fasting w/ Ustadh Amjad Tarsin

Описание: From February 11-13, 2022, Al-Maqasid held a retreat titled 'On Fasting: A Study of Book 6 of the Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din,’ the sixth of forty books in Imam al-Ghazali’s masterpiece, Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din' (Revival of the Religious Sciences).

Allah the Exalted says, “O believers! Fasting is prescribed for you—as it was for those before you—so perhaps you will become mindful ˹of Allah˺.” [Quran 2:182] And the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said in a Hadith Qudsi that Allah the Exalted said, “Every good deed is rewarded a multiple of ten to seven-hundred times, except for fasting, for it is Mine, and I grant its reward.” [Bukhari and Muslim] He also said ﷺ, “Paradise has a gate called ‘Rayyān.’ None enter it except those who fast.”

Ustadh Amjad Tarsin opens the retreat by looking at the relationship between fasting and patience (sabr), Quranic verses and Hadith on its merits, and the reason why fasting is uniquely honored.
