In Which Way Do Our Limbs Fast During Ramadan?

Sh. Bin Baz رحمه الله said:

"The fasting of the limbs is distancing them from that which Allah had prohibited them from.

• The tongue fasts (refrains) from that which Allah has prohibited it from, for example, backbiting, tale-carrying between people, lying and that which is similar to this.

• The hand fasts (refrains) from that which Allah has prohibited it from, for example, stealing, transgression (oppression), aggression and similar to this.

• Also, the foot keeps away from that which Allah has prohibited it from; so it must not proceed and walk towards that which Allah has prohibited.

• Likewise, the stomach should be safeguarded from eating that which is haram; a person must safeguard his stomach from prohibited food.

• And he safeguards his hearing from listening to that which Allah has prohibited, for example, musical instruments, backbiting, tale-carrying and other than this."

"If you find a darkness in your heart after you have sinned, then know that in your heart there is light, because of that light you felt darkness."

- Ibn Al Jawzi روضة المحبين • رحمه الله

[fa-sabrun-jamiil]

Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) :

“There is nothing more harmful to the believer then letting his gaze free (looking at whatever he/she wants without restriction), for indeed it divides the heart, scatters his affairs, and causes dread between the slave and His Lord.”

— [ad-Da' wa Dawaa’]

«ʾIstiġfār»

The messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said:

"Whoever clings to ʾIstiġfār then Allāh will make for him a way out of every anguish, and release him from every distress, and He will provide for him from where he did not expect."

[at-Targhīb wa tarhīb 3/57]

Imam Ibn Jawzi:

Know that this world is the harvest field of the hereafter; and in it there is business, the profit of which will be visible in the hereafter.

«shortcomings»

Ibn al-Mubārak raḥimahullāh said:

"From the greatest of calamities is that a man knows about his shortcomings, yet he doesn't care about them, nor is he saddened by them."

be good even if you don’t receive good, not because of others’ sake but because Allah loves those who do good.”

Loneliness is Much Better than Being in the Company of Evil People.

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:

“In the olden times, if the heart of the seeker (murid) was darkened or inflicted with [spiritual] disease he would go visit some of the pious and righteous people to relinquish the darkness of his heart (qalb).

Today however, as the seeker enjoys an atom of sincerity he would run into the house of solitude (‘uzla) where he basks in the breeze from the spirit of safety (rūh al-‘āfiya) and enjoys a light (nūr) in his heart.

He becomes focused on his Hereafter and his affairs remain intact, but when he leaves seeking whoever is pointed at (as being righteous or knowledgeable),

he finds them sitting with idle people and involved in their unintelligent path that brings no benefit in seeing such a person who finds it easy to waste time in trivial topics and in despicable ways.”

• Results of abandoning sins

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

Gaining beauty

Glory in the hearts of people

Support and protection from others if he was hurt

Protection of his honour if he was slandered

Answering his supplication and being close to Allāh

Close to the Angels and being far from the Satans among the humans and the jinn

People will compete to serve him and fulfill his needs and gain his love and company

He will not fear death but he will be happy to meet Allāh and recieve his reward

The world wil be low in his eyes while the Hereafter will be great

He will seek the greatest property, supreme achievement in the Hereafter

Tasting the sweetness of obedience

Sweetness of faith

Supplications of the angels that carry the Throne and the other angels around him

Happiness of the two angels that are recording his deeds, and their supplications

An increase in knowledge, understanding and faith

Loving Allāh

Longing to meet Him and happiness at his repentance

Allāh will reward him with happiness and joy that are not even close to the happiness experienced when commiting sins
