AVOIDING OVERINDULGENCE OVER-EATING WHEN OPENING FAST
It is well known that the object of Fasting is to experience hunger and to check desire, in order to reinforce the soul in piety. Not to overindulge in eating but just to nourish oneself so she/he could do worship. Pleasing Allaah (الله سبحانه وتعالٰى)
It is meaningless to Fast with unlawful food. A man who Fasts like this may be compared to one who builds a castle but demolishes a city. The spirit and secret nature of Fasting is to weaken the forces that are Satan’s [Shaitaan'sشیطان ] means of leading us back to evil. It is therefore essential to cut down one's intake to what one would consume on a normal night, when not fasting.
Said the Beloved Prophet Muhammad [صلى الله عليه وسلّم]
"HOW MANY OF THOSE WHO FAST AND GET NOTHING FROM IT BUT HUNGER AND THIRST!"
