Islamic brothers! Since our Nafs wants comforts and luxury, and it is annoyed with hardship of acts of worship. For example, when a Muslim tries to observe a fast, then through different plots, the Nafs tries to abstain from observing fasts by reminding him of different reasons such as, it is very hot now, circumstances are not good, how will you perform your work, you will fall ill, observe the fast on another day etc. therefore, we should try not to be deceived by our Nafs. We should never miss the Fard fasts without any Shar’i reason whether they are in cold weather or in very hot weather, but rather we should have in mind the Divine gifts we may get in exchange of observing these fasts. In His Pure Book, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ not only has mentioned those men and women who observe fasts, but He عَزَّوَجَلَّ has also blessed them with the great good news of forgiveness and great gifts:

اِنَّ الۡمُسۡلِمِیۡنَ وَ الۡمُسۡلِمٰتِ وَ الۡمُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ  وَ الۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِ  وَ الۡقٰنِتِیۡنَ وَ الۡقٰنِتٰتِ  وَ الصّٰدِقِیۡنَ      وَ الصّٰدِقٰتِ وَ الصّٰبِرِیۡنَ وَ الصّٰبِرٰتِ وَ الۡخٰشِعِیۡنَ وَ الۡخٰشِعٰتِ وَ الۡمُتَصَدِّقِیۡنَ وَ الۡمُتَصَدِّقٰتِ                وَ الصَّآئِمِیۡنَ وَ الصّٰٓئِمٰتِ وَ الۡحٰفِظِیۡنَ فُرُوۡجَہُمۡ  وَ الۡحٰفِظٰتِ  وَ الذّٰکِرِیۡنَ  اللّٰہَ  کَثِیۡرًا  وَّ الذّٰکِرٰتِ ۙ  اَعَدَّ   اللّٰہُ    لَہُمۡ    مَّغۡفِرَ ۃً    وَّ  اَجۡرًا  عَظِیۡمًا   ﴿۳۵﴾

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Indeed the Muslim men and Muslim women, and the believing men and the believing women, and the men who obey and the women who obey, and the truthful men and the truthful women, and the patient men and the patient women, and the humble men and the humble women, and charitable men and the charitable women, and the fasting men and the fasting women, and the men who guard their chastity and the women who guard their chastity, and the men who profusely remember Allah and the women who profusely remember Allah – for all of them, Allah has kept prepared forgiveness and an immense reward. (Part 22, Surah Al-Ahzaab, verse 35)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
