Reward For Fasting Person in Islam

Fasting is an important practice in Islam that involves abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs from dawn until sunset during the holy month of Ramadan. This act of worship is considered one of the Five Pillars of Islam, and is highly rewarded in the eyes of Allah.

As a reward for their devotion and discipline, Allah has promised numerous blessings and benefits to those who fast during Ramadan. Here are some of the rewards mentioned in the Quran and Hadith for those who fast during the holy month:

01: Forgiveness of sins:

Allah promises forgiveness of sins to those who fast sincerely and with pure intentions. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever fasts during Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward from Allah, all their previous sins will be forgiven.” (Sahih Bukhari)

02: Increased reward for good deeds:

Fasting during Ramadan multiplies the reward for good deeds performed during this month. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Every good deed is rewarded ten times its like, up to seven hundred times, except fasting, for it is for Me and I shall reward for it. He gives up his desires and his food for My sake.” (Sahih Muslim)

03: Protection from Hellfire:

Allah has promised protection from the Hellfire for those who fast during Ramadan. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Fasting is a shield; so when one of you is fasting, let him not indulge in obscene language or behave ignorantly, and if someone abuses him or fights with him, he should say, ‘I am fasting.’” (Sahih Bukhari)

04: Increased closeness to Allah:

Fasting during Ramadan is a means to draw closer to Allah and increase one’s spirituality. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Allah says, ‘Every good deed of the son of Adam is for him except fasting; it is for Me and I shall reward for it.’ Fasting is a shield, so when one of you is fasting, let him not speak evil or behave ignorantly. If someone abuses him or fights with him, let him say, ‘I am fasting.’” (Sahih Bukhari)

05: Increased blessings and peace:

Fasting during Ramadan brings blessings and peace to individuals and communities. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Ramadan has come to you. It is a month of blessing, in which Allah covers you with grace, for He sends down mercy, decreases sins, and answers prayers. In it, Allah looks at your competition in good deeds and boasts about you to His angels. So show Allah goodness from yourselves, for the unfortunate one is he who is deprived in (this month) of the mercy of Allah, the Mighty, the Exalted.” (Tabrani)

In conclusion, fasting during Ramadan is a highly rewarded act of worship in Islam. It is an opportunity for Muslims to increase their spirituality, seek forgiveness, and draw closer to Allah. The rewards promised by Allah and His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are numerous, and serve as a motivation for Muslims to observe this sacred practice with sincerity and devotion. May Allah bless all those who fast during Ramadan and accept their efforts and intentions. Ameen.
