Purification of The Self
Translation from Kanz al-ꜤIrfān: O you who believe! Fasting was made incumbent upon you, as it was made incumbent upon those who preceded you that you may become pious.[1]
This verse clearly explains how the fasts of Ramadan are obligatory. Therefore, abandoning one fast of Ramadan without a lawful excuse is a major sin which leads to Hell.[2] It is written in Kitāb al-Kabāˈir:
Whoever abandons a fast of Ramadan without an illness or valid excuse, he is more abhorrent than a fornicator, extortionist and alcoholic.[3]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
The noble Quran and sacred Aḥādīth explain many virtues of fasting. For example, Allah Almighty will forgive those who observe fasts, and He has prepared a great reward for them.[4] A Hadith states that there is a gate in Paradise that only the people who observe fasts will enter.[5] The fasts of Ramadan are an expiation for previous sins.[6] Fasting is a fortress
