Intermittent fasting can help you lose weight, increase energy and
gain several health benefits, says aesculapian experts. Intermittent
fasting is an eating style where you eat within a specific timeframe,
and fast the rest of the time. Is intermittent fasting somewhat close
to what Muslims traditionally observe? Allah says in the Koran what
could be rendered as namely. "O ye who have believed, decreed upon
thee is fasting as it was decreed upon those before thee, so that thou
may become pious". This is chapter two of the Noble Koran, verse 183.
Intermittent fasting is quite close to what Muslims regularly observe
on annual basis in Ramadan. The only plain difference between the two,
that intermittent fasting allows the faster to drink water, sugarless
and milkless warm potables as of tea and coffee. It ordinarily recurs
in scattered and irregular or unpredictable intervals. This happens
with Ramadan too. As the month broadly travels throughout the four
seasons over the years, hours of fasting may foreshorten as in winter,
arbitrate in spring as well as autumn and elongate in summer. Muslims
are wholly enjoined to designedly commence fasting at dawn and cease
at sunset for thirty days. They are commanded to stop eating, drinking
and intimate engagements during daylight hours, during which fasting
occurs. Once the sun sets down, they are permitted to eat, drink and
engage in intimate acts with licit spouses until next dawn erupts.
Some people stereotypically presume that fasting in this manner may
potentially cause dehydration. Is this assumption correct? Well, not
that I knew of. Muslims have been fasting this way for quite a long
time. Nonetheless, we never heard of someone has been subjected to
evaporation, at anytime in history, anywhere in the world. Some may
wonder, how could someone fast, totally refrain from consuming water
and still, do not desiccate? To those who experienced the taste of
Islamic fasting, they knew it's way beyond mere physical abstinence.
People and Muslims in particular must fathom this quite thoroughly.
Fasting in Islam has two major factors. First, physical abstention,
whereas the faster completely quits consuming all physical substances
and licitly intimate acts. Second, this physical act of quitting
permissibly desirable engagements as of food, permissible drinks and
lawful wedlock shall lead to what we may call temporary cessation.
This practice shall have taught the faster at the end of the month two
crucial lessons. First, he should have been trained on how to resist
tempting motives, so not to fall in disgrace. Second, the faster is
expected to gradually gain self-discipline, so not to get angry
easily. The season of Ramadan is an amazing opportunity for people to
rest their bodies. And bit by bit, elevate their souls to the
celestial realm. Ramadan is the month during which the Noble Koran was
revealed. It is recognised by Muslims as the divinely statute
scripture, setting guidance of people. Thence, leading them to
prosperity of this life and the hereafter. During the nights of
Ramadan, Muslims are highly encouraged to spend their time in worship,
as of farther spiritual involution. It isn't as irremissible as
fasting during the day. Nonetheless, it is yet highly urged and
grately rewarded. People in Ramadan demonstrate their maximal
competence of benevolence as of keeping kinship ties, visiting orphan
care shelters, engaging in various charitable activities and so on.
So, in addition to fasting during the day and praying at night,
Ramadan vividly reflects the essence of fraternal pattern and the
disposal to strenghthen the passion of doing good to people. The
latter is clearly exhibited during breakfast moment, whereas everyone
hastens to be the giver rather than the taker. On freshly ripe dates
and flawlessly cool water, Muslims are encouraged by the Sunnah to
break their fast once the call to dusk prayer summons. And as they do
so, they implore to Allah, saying, O Allah, for Thee I have fasted, on
Thou sustenance I broke my fast, I believe and confide upon Thee.
This supplication is taught to us by prophet Muhammad (peace and
blessings be upon him). Subsequently, Muslims observe dusk prayer. And
as they finish, they gradually begin to eat. They are not suppose to
excessively consume food, so not to deplete their bodies because they
are expected to spend their nights sincerely praying to Allah glory be
to Him. I genuinely fond this time of the year. I anually look forward
to blessedly witnessing its numerous gracilities. As I compose this
entry on fasting in Islam, I intend to be concise, so to educate those
who do not know. Concurrently, I destine to intemperately bait some
unworthy mortals as they incorrectly assume they could marginalise our
heritage and identity by practicing derision and bigotry. It is
sufficient of me to relentlessly keep bombarding them with irrefutable
rebuttals, as they preposterously accuse us of what they shamelessly
commit, as they regularly rely on circular reasoning to disdainfully
justify their immensely anti religious detrimental appeals. They
ignorantly claim prophet Muhammad has wrote the Noble Koran. Hence,
when asked about their allegedly cited reference, they nonsensically
refer to an anonymous textbook. They then claim that the Koran was
either written by prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him,
Muslims or it is a divine revelation. Without expressing the least of
decisive or even indecisive evidence, they call the latter ridiculous.
Thence, they lack the leastwise amount of objectivity and applicable
deference. They therefore deserve to be enormously lampooned and taken
out of the virtual world. I warn them of shortly terminating access
to their e-mail account. This comes to being as a just reaction to
their repeatedly intolerable exercise of derision of our faith.
Simultaneously, calling us liars while they are the uniquely biggest
ones. The practice of Trump to be temperament is utterly unbearable.
Thence, the usage of garbage disposal is desperately demanded to clean
it off. Islam is glorious and it won't ever be disparaged by some
bunch of perfectly unworthy hatemongers. I am willing to respectfully
communicate with deferent people. Even if we gravely dissent on major
subjects which is most likely to be, I am okay, as long as objectivity
and deference are mutually maintained. Terms of expressive courtesy
must be initiated with in order to be treated equally. Otherwise,
don't ever expect people to respect you as you insistently show no
respect to them and their beliefs. I believe this is perfectly fair
and plain.
