Sayings of the Prophet...
[Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi
Wa Sallam]
The reward for fasting is immense, as mentioned in the
following Hadees:
DIVINE LESSON
Abu Hurairah [Radi Allaahu-Anhu] narrates that one day while Allaah’s Messenger [Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam] was sitting with the people, a man came to him walking and said,
“O Allaah’s Messenger.
What is Belief?”
The Prophet [Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam] said,
“Belief is to believe in Allaah, His Angels, His Books, His Apostles, and the
meeting with Him, and to believe in the Resurrection.”
The man asked again, “O Allaah’s Prophet,
What is Islam?”
The Prophet [Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam] replied,
“Islam is to worship
Almighty Allaah and not worship anything besides Him, to offer prayers
perfectly, to pay the [compulsory] charity [ Zakat] and to fast in the month of Ramadan.”
The man again asked,
“O Allaah’s Prophet [Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam]
What is Ihsaan
[Perfection /Favour/Benevolence]?
The Prophet [Sallal
Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam] said, “Ihsaan is to worship Allaah as if you see Him, and
if you do not achieve this state of devotion, then [take it for granted that]
Allaah sees you.”
Then the man left. The Prophet [Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam] said,
“That was Angel Jibraeel [Gabriel] [Alaiehis Salaam] who came to
teach the people their religion.”
[Bukhaari Shareef].
