In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful
How do we fast the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith and in pursuit of Allah's Pleasure?
If someone intends to lose weight, and so he fasts the month of Ramadan, his Siyaam (fasting) is unacceptable. Well, yes, Ramadan has healthy benefits, but basically, it is an act of worship. Hence, if someone thinks of Ramadan as a month of losing weight, he is committing a deadly mistake.
Ramadan is an act of worship, and worship itself is a voluntary act of obedience mixed with heartfelt love, because obeying Allah the Almighty without loving Him means you do not worship Him.
I repeat; worship itself is a voluntary act of obedience mixed with heartfelt love based on certitude and leads to eternal happiness.
