with you!" meaning, "I will ‘devour’ you" (مَعاذ َاللہ).

Remember! One must never utter such things that cause distress to a Muslim; rather, one should display humility. We can only be saved from all these calamities if we also attempt to make our limbs bound to the fast by protecting them from sins. The beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: "Fasting is not merely the name of refraining from eating and drinking; rather, fasting is that one is saved from useless and indecent talk. If someone swears at you or treats you badly, say, 'I am fasting'."^[1]

Now consider a few examples of sins committed through the limbs:

Sins of the Eye

The sin of the eye is to look at those things which Allah Almighty has forbidden. Therefore, every Muslim should protect their eyes from looking at the forbidden and keep the fast of the eye, in such a way that whenever the eye is raised, it is raised only toward permissible acts. Observe the masjid with the eye, gaze at the holy Quran, look at parents with a gaze of love, visit the resting places of the saints, behold the scholars and the pious servants of Allah Almighty, observe the lights of the Holy Ka'bah, see the fragrant streets of Makkah the Blessed, witness the luminous manifestation of the Green Dome, and gaze upon the beautiful sight of the Arabian desert.

Sins of the Ear

The sin of the ears is to listen to those things from which Allah Almighty has prohibited. Therefore, never ever listen to music with the ears, do not listen to false jokes, do not listen to backbiting, tale-bearing, or the exposing of people’s faults. When two people are talking privately, do not eavesdrop. Keep the fast of the ears! Only listen to permissible matters—for example, listen to Quranic recitation, praise of Allah Almighty, Prophetic odes and manqabats (panegyrics) of the pious predecessors, Sunnah-inspired congregations,Madani mashwarahs, and good things; listen to the azan and iqāmah, and also
