Majlis 71: "What is the wisdom in the inner meaning of fasting?" - Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS

01 April 2022

What is the inner taweel meaning of fasting? It is human nature to eat when one feels hungry. Why then are we commanded to abstain from food and drink whilst fasting?

Allah Ta’ala says in the Quran-e-Majeed, “Allah has completed upon you his blessings, both the manifest and the concealed.” What are these blessings in the context of fasting? In what ways does a Mumin benefit from fasting, physically and otherwise?

Syedna TUS answers these questions in this Majlis, the 71st in the Majalis al Hikma series.

How can we help?
