Roza (Fast) The Fourth Pillar Of Islam
Assalam-o-Alaykum WaRehmatullah e WaBarakatuhu,
Bissmillah HiRehman NiRaheem,
May all of you & your families be in the best of Health & Life.
My Dear Fellows, Todays Topic is* *,
Let us today have a detailed Study of The Fourth Pillar Of Islam.
Fasting is obligatory for Muslims in the month of Ramzan. Failure to observe the fast on any day, without a valid reason, during this month is a great sin. We have it on the authority of the Prophet that,
Recompense During the fast, a Muslim abstains from eating and drinking and denies himself the pleasures of legitimate carnal satisfaction solely as a measure of worship, and sacrifices his legitimate biological needs and urges exclusively for the sake of God.
God, too, therefore, has placed a most unique reward on it. The Prophet is reported to have said:
Another outstanding feature of Roza, besides those given in the Traditions quoted above, is that it lifts man above the level of beasts. To eat and to drink at will and to copulate whenever the urge comes, this is the way of the animals. On the other extreme, to be immune from hunger and thirst and the impulsions of sex, to stay away permanently from food and drink and cohabitation is the quality of angels. When a person fasts he rises above the animal existence and forges an affinity with angels.
In sum, fasts can lead to the promotion of the virtues of piety and righteousness and impart the moral strength needed to control and discipline the sensual appetites when, together with abstention from food and drink, all the major and minor transgressions of the law of ALLAH are also zealously avoided while fasting, more specially the use of foul and filthy language, falsehood, slander and backbiting. If fasts are observed in the right spirit and with proper care and solicitude, the benefits indicated above can undoubtedly, be obtained from them.
Bissmillah HiRehman NiRaheem,
May all of you & your families be in the best of Health & Life.

Roza (Fast)
After belief, Namaz and Zakat, the most important duty in Islam is Roza (or fasting). The Quran says:
Oh ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you that ye may (learn) self-restraint. (II: 183)
